Features: Starting from the 1980s, as a professional researcher of Deng Xiaoping, Lu Zongzong has interviewed over a hundred comrades, some of whom were Deng's family members, old classmates, old comrades-in-arms, old subordinates, or participants and witnesses of certain events. From top leaders to ordinary citizens, each person shared stories about Deng Xiaoping from different perspectives, revealing many little-known aspects of his life: such as his early years of studying, his journey to revolution in France, his military career; his role as an important member of the Party's decentralized central leadership collective in the arduous exploration of the socialist path, his legendary rise and fall, and his significant contributions to opening up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. These stories are deeply rooted in our memories. For this reason, the compilers selected excerpts from the recollections of 72 participants and compiled this book, "Talking About Deng Xiaoping," to express our profound respect and endless longing for Deng Xiaoping on the occasion of the centenary of his birth.
