Features: This book is compiled by the Documentation and Research Center of the CPC Central Committee. The authors conducted multiple interviews with Deng Xiaoping's wife Zhuo Lin, his children, relatives, friends, and close staff. Through their sincere and moving recollections, the book vividly brings to life the lesser-known stories of Deng Xiaoping as a son, husband, and father, truly reflecting his love for his wife, children, friends, hometown, people, and motherland, fully showcasing the ordinary sentiments and personal charm of a century-old great figure. The book is divided into six parts: "The Last 20 Years of Life," "Sharing Sufferings for 58 Years," "Family Bonds," "Father in the Eyes of His Children," "Lifestyle," and "Eternal Remembrance." The main part features Zhuo Lin, Deng Xiaoping's wife, recounting her emotional journey from meeting, falling in love, to spending over half a century with him, telling the touching story of their deep bond, shared hardships, and mutual support over 58 years. It also includes accounts from Deng Xiaoping's children about the profound love between their parents and the intense family sentiments of their father. This book has three major features: primary sources, first-time disclosure, and the only version available nationwide, making it highly authoritative; it weaves the theme of "emotion" throughout, allowing readers to step into Deng Xiaoping's life from the perspective of an ordinary person, deeply moving and inspiring; the entire book features over 400 selected photographs, presenting a richly illustrated and vivid portrayal.
