Features: The history of how Deng Xiaoping addressed ethnic issues while leading the Southwest Bureau is invaluable, both for understanding the practical foundation of Deng Xiaoping's ethnic theory and for summarizing the experience in resolving ethnic issues. However, few works have combined historical facts and theory to comprehensively review this period. This book, based on extensive research and the author's meticulous collection of materials, integrates history and theory to document Deng Xiaoping's practices and thoughts in resolving ethnic issues during his tenure in the Southwest Bureau. The book particularly introduces how Deng Xiaoping recruited and nurtured ethnic talent and established ethnic institutions of higher learning. It provides detailed accounts of the historical context and early development of our university, allowing us to once again feel the care and support extended by Deng Xiaoping and the older generation of revolutionaries to our institution. Reflecting on the history of how Deng Xiaoping addressed ethnic issues while leading the Southwest Bureau is invaluable, both for understanding the practical foundation of Deng Xiaoping's ethnic theory and for summarizing the experience in resolving ethnic issues. On the occasion of the centenary of Deng Xiaoping's birth, this book is presented as a heartfelt gift to honor his memory and express our profound respect for him. Professor Lang Weiwei spent six years writing this book, filling the gap in domestic research on Deng Xiaoping's practices and theory in resolving ethnic issues during his time in the Southwest Bureau.
