Features: This is a relatively unique book among the many books commemorating Deng Xiaoping. In this book, the focus is on Deng Xiaoping's inner personality. Through the analysis of historical materials related to major events in Deng Xiaoping's life, the author employs multiple analytical methods such as psychology, ethics, and behavioral science to present Deng Xiaoping's personal charm to the readers. In the book, we see a vivid Deng Xiaoping: he possesses the revolutionary courage of great wisdom and bravery, the unyielding revolutionary spirit of dignity, the incorruptible integrity of hard work and perseverance, a broad and magnanimous heart, clear-cut emotions of love and hatred, and an unwavering will. After reading this book, one will discover that Deng Xiaoping's personal charm and spiritual demeanor are both an inheritance and an advancement of national culture and spirit, as well as a product formed in that unique and turbulent era. It is precisely for this reason that, after experiencing the "three rises and three falls" in his life, he remained calm and composed in the face of major changes in the era. Deng Xiaoping's high prestige and great influence—where do they come from, and what is their source? Research in psychology shows that a person's prestige includes both authority and respect. Power induces authority, while personality generates respect. Deng Xiaoping was a figure who embodied both authority and respect. He had both power and status, as well as a noble personality. Geniuses are always revered, but personality. The former is the fruit of extraordinary intelligence, while the latter is the crystallization of a noble soul. Genius figures gain social status and power through their intelligence, while those with a noble personality earn a reputation through their conscience. The former are revered, while the latter are regarded as role models to be emulated. Deng Xiaoping's ability to possess such high prestige and great influence was not only due to his extraordinary intelligence that commands respect but mainly because his great personality of high moral integrity throughout his life inspired and attracted people's admiration and support.
