When it comes to Deng Zhuodi, many people may not be familiar with it.
However, Deng Gong and Deng Xiaoping were figures that the whole Chinese remembered. And this Deng Zhuodi is the son of Deng Xiaoping's youngest son Deng Qianfang, that is, Deng Xiaoping's own grandson.

First, because Deng Qifang and his wife Liu Xiaoyuan studied in the United States, the two gave birth to Deng Zhuodi during their study abroad.
Because the local law in the United States is that you were born in the United States, you are a U.S. citizen.
Therefore, Deng Zhuodi, who was born in the United States at that time, was quite controversial, because of Deng Xiaoping's special status, people with bad intentions often attacked Deng Zhuodi and Deng Xiaoping said that Deng Zhuodi was actually American.
Deng Xiaoping directly shot back at this rumor: "My grandson Deng Zhuodi is Chinese!" ”
Deng Zhuodi is surrounded by the glorious family of a great national leader like Deng Xiaoping, and with nationality controversy, his life experience is also quite extraordinary.

Deng Zhuodi is now a board member of the Beijing Bridge Association.
As early as 00 years ago, Deng Zhuodi was a law student at Peking University at the time, and he mentioned in an interview:
"If I want to say that the one thing that my grandfather has influenced me the most, it is actually bridge."
When Deng Zhuodi mentioned this incident, he both remembered it and deeply regretted it.
As a child, he lived for a long time with his grandfather Deng Xiaoping, when Deng Zhuodi often watched Deng Xiaoping play bridge, but he was too young to appreciate the mystery.
But the thing of bridge planted a seed in the heart of Little Deng Zhuodi at that time.

In Deng Zhuodi's memories, Deng Xiaoping's biggest hobby in his later years was playing bridge, and even often laughed with people, playing more bridge can exercise the mind and prevent Alzheimer's.
That said, in fact, bridge was not an exercise for Deng Xiaoping in his later years, but an anecdote that could make him really relax.
Because China was at an important stage of development at that time, Deng Xiaoping worked day and night, even if people sat and rested, their minds did not dare to slack.
This phenomenon worried Deng Xiaoping's wife and family, and when he found that Deng Xiaoping would only give his mind a short rest when he played bridge, his wife often joined forces with Deng Xiaoping's card friends to drag him to play bridge when he was overworked.

Deng Zhuodi's curiosity about bridge is also due to the fact that workaholics like grandpa Deng Xiaoping, who have worked hard for the country, can also be fascinated by the entertainment project of bridge, what is the charm of this bridge?
This doubt took root in Deng Zhuodi's heart, and in the rest of his life, Deng Zhuodi and bridge also formed an indissoluble bond.
As he grew older, Tang also began to learn bridge.
Perhaps at first, under the influence of his grandfather, he enlightened Deng Zhuodi's interest in bridge.
However, with the learning and understanding of bridge, Deng Zhuodi not only became proficient in bridge technology, but also discovered what attracted him to bridge.
Bridge is not just an entertainment that his grandfather once loved, he is no less obsessed with bridge than Deng Xiaoping.
Since childhood, he has excellent learning ability and strong personality, adhering to the principle of learning well and becoming a bridge master.

Originally, everyone thought that this was just a hobby, but they did not expect that now Deng Zhuodi has become a director of the Beijing Bridge Association, turning this hobby into his career.
Of course, since he was a child, he was influenced by his grandfather's spirit of serving the country and the people, and Deng Zhuodi did not just put his mind on bridge.
Tang Zhuodi's achievements in bridge can be described as the least outstanding of his resume.
Deng Zhuodi first completed his undergraduate law degree at Peking University, and then, at the urging of his grandfather, went to the United States to study, and successfully obtained a master's degree in law from Duke University.
His excellent academic performance and practical ability made a law firm in the United States that made many people unable to cross the threshold throw an olive branch to him, hoping that Deng Zhuodi could stay, and tried to retain it with a high salary.
Deng Zhuodi remembered his grandfather's teachings since childhood, you should not forget your roots, and study abroad is to broaden your horizons and learn more technical knowledge, so as to better serve the motherland.

Therefore, Deng Zhuodi did not hesitate at all, directly refused the invitation of the law firm, and resolutely returned to China.
Although both masters and masters are law studies, Deng Zhuodi did not engage in the legal profession after returning to China, but became a civil servant.
Raised by his grandfather's side since he was a child, he also had the idea of doing practical things for the people and contributing his own strength to the development of the motherland like his grandfather.
After returning to China, his first stop as a civil servant was Pingguo County in Guangxi Province.
Coincidentally, Pingguo County's fate with Deng Zhuodi was formed as early as when he was seven or eight years old.
At that time, Deng Xiaoping often went to the grassroots level to inspect, and Deng Zhuodi, who was seven or eight years old, also followed his grandfather everywhere, and Pingguo County was one of them. And as will be mentioned later, the relationship between Pingguo County and Comrade Xiaoping is much more than that.
This time he returned to his hometown, Deng Zhuodi was full of emotion in his heart.
Of course, coming to Pingguo County this time is completely different from the childhood experience.
At that time, Deng Xiaoping came to the grassroots level as a high-level leader to inspect, and the treatment was still different from now, plus Deng Zhuodi at that time was just a child, not familiar with world affairs, mainly based on experiencing life and play.
This time, Deng Zhuodi's identity was completely changed, and he should have gone directly to Pingguo County as the deputy county magistrate, and he took the initiative to apply to the grassroots level to become the chief of Xin'an Town.
At first, Deng Zhuodi faced some instructions from the people around him to make him mentally prepared, but he didn't think so, feeling that he was just a commander and had nothing to do.
It wasn't until he really came here as a commander and went deeper into the grassroots that he found that it was far from being as easy as he thought.
The difficulties of grassroots cadres and the sufferings of ordinary people were truly understood this time.
Especially if the two only stand on their own point of view, there will be all kinds of unnecessary contradictions and conflicts, he always remembers that his grandfather taught him to think differently, although he is a grassroots cadre and a commander, but he is essentially serving the people.
Therefore, whenever the people have some contradictions and conflicts with them, he will change the angle and think about the problem from the position of the people, so as to solve many difficulties.
Although Deng Zhuodi has long ended his career as a commander, he still remembers the time he spent hoeing in the dragon fruit experimental field.
The south at the end of May is already very hot, even if you don't work and go out, you can sweat so hot that you can, not to mention Deng Zhuodi, who works in the fields all day.
At that time, he was so sweaty that his clothes could wring out water every day, and after only a few days of drying, his hands grinded cocoon blisters, and his daily working hands were hot and painful, not to mention the food in the countryside, all of which were coarse grains and wild vegetables, and the taste and portion were not comparable to his previous life.
However, Deng Zhuodi never shouted bitterly, nor did he immediately give up.
On the contrary, it is this kind of life that makes Deng Zhuodi admire the old tunchang who has been working day and night even more, and every time he thinks of him, he can't help but say:
"Before, I thought that the so-called chief was just an idle position, where there was something to do. Now it seems that every little-known grassroots cadre has put in a lot of unknown hardships. There is so much for me to learn. ”
Although the time to become a tunchang is not long, Deng Zhuodi has experienced and learned a lot of things.
In addition, he also gained the sincere friendship of the villagers.
The simple village, the frugal villagers, but the emotions are sincere and warm. When Deng Zhuodi ended his career as a tun chief and left Xin'an Town, the entire tun people came to see him off.
Although there are many faces that Deng Zhuodi can't call, their reluctance and gratitude to Deng Zhuodi are the same.
In this way, Deng Zhuodi brought grassroots experience and became the deputy county magistrate of Pingguo County.
Due to Deng Xiaoping's vigorous development in the early stage of reform and opening up, Pingguo County has become a relatively rich area for local development.
But Deng Zhuodi did not sit back and still actively developed the more barren aspects of Pingguo County, whether it was the economy, the rule of law or education, he did not fall behind.
Actively responding to the country's poverty alleviation work, Pingguo County has reached a higher level during Deng Zhuodi's tenure as deputy county magistrate.
At the same time, Deng Zhuodi concentrated on his work during this period, always refused media interviews, and the evaluation of what he did during this period was passed down by word of mouth from the local people.
Deng Zhuodi in the mouths of the people of Pingguo County is a very gentle and humble deputy county magistrate who acts low-key.
His ability to do things is obvious to the people of the entire Pingguo County, who not only love and respect him, but also worship him for his erudition.
The people of Pingguo County said that it was indeed an honor for Pingguo County to have such an excellent and outstanding leader.
Just when Pingguo County became richer and everyone thought that Deng Zhuodi's career would also prosper, Deng Zhuodi ended his political future and opened a new chapter in his life, that is, the aforementioned Beijing Bridge Association.
It can be seen that Deng Zhuodi really inherited the personality of his grandfather Deng Xiaoping, had his own ideas and respected his heart.
Being born into such a family is the envy of many people.
But Deng Zhuodi reluctantly said that this was actually a lot of pressure for him.
In Pingguo County, when Deng Zhuodi returned to his hometown, he was happy and worried at the same time.
Because Deng Xiaoping had a deep relationship with Pingguo County, as early as the war period, Deng Xiaoping established a base in Baise City, and also launched the Baise Uprising, during which he was stationed in Pingguo County several times.
Therefore, the people of Pingguo County in Baise City have a different kind of feeling for Deng Xiaoping, and even there is a local tourist route about the "Deng Xiaoping Footprints", and the people of Pingguo County have always missed Deng Xiaoping.
So Deng Zhuodi, who had been taught since he was a child not to rely on his family lineage to gain convenience, made a decision before taking office to conceal his identity as Deng Xiaoping's grandson and appear as an ordinary deputy county magistrate.
This is also why his refusal to be interviewed by the media during his tenure in Pingguo County and appearing in front of the public media will increase the risk of his identity being exposed.
And he hid it well, until he left Pingguo County, almost no one knew that Deng Zhuodi was actually Deng Xiaoping's grandson.
It was not until much later that local people learned from some interviews that Deng Zhuodi turned out to be Deng Xiaoping's own grandson.
This also made the people of Pingguo County respect the former deputy county magistrate even more.

As Deng Xiaoping's grandson, he has attracted much attention since birth, and he has been repeatedly questioned about nationality issues that have been clarified many times.
Although Deng Xiaoping had refuted it many times, he himself clarified that 14 years later, his aunt Deng Rong was still asked whether Deng Zhuodi was American.
Deng Rong once again clarified the rumor in front of the media, saying that although Deng Zhuodi was born in the United States, he did not take a US passport, but applied for a Chinese passport.
Deng Zhuodi is a real Chinese.
Because of the lessons of Deng Zhuodi's nationality, coupled with the fact that Deng Xiaoping's identity is more special later, he is not given special care at school for his grandchildren,
In order to ensure that the normal life of his grandchildren did not grow up in a strange way, Deng Xiaoping decided to let them and their grandmother, his wife Zhuo Lin, surnamed.
In February 1988, Deng Xiaoping and his wife were with their daughter and grandson
The surname Deng may be associated with Deng Xiaoping's relatives. But the surname Zhuo is almost no one will find out.
Including Deng Zhuodi at the beginning, he was also called Zhuo Di, until Deng Xiaoping's later years, one day he suddenly remembered that no one of his grandchildren had the same surname as himself, and it was inevitable that he was a little melancholy.
After sighing, under the discussion of the family, he felt that his youngest grandson Zhuo Di should change back to the surname Deng.
Therefore, although Deng Zhuodi has a grandfather as a national leader like Deng Xiaoping, he has never received special care for this, but has always concealed his identity, hoping to be treated as an ordinary person.
He received the most attention, and it also stemmed from the malicious speculation that he was forced to get at birth.
After that, under the protection of his family and his own efforts, he was very low-key.
And his achievements and excellent resume are all based on his own efforts.
Figure 丨Deng Qianfang
The Deng family style is all from the words and deeds that Deng Xiaoping has always taught, and Deng Zhuodi's father Deng Zhuofang's low-key degree is also more than Deng Zhuodi, and he has never relied on his background to seek convenience outside.
Under the dual teaching of his father and grandfather, Deng Zhuodi also grew up to be an upright and loving man who loved the motherland, he never thought that his family background was superior, and he never thought that with a grandfather like Deng Xiaoping, he could do whatever he wanted.
Deng Zhuodi studied excellently, but still gave up his superior life and returned to the grassroots level.
With his ability, the grassroots people did many practical things, and he gave up Gao Sheng to pursue his hobby.
Deng Xiaoping's teaching to his children and grandchildren has always been that the family is not a special borrowing force for them, and that if you want to make a difference, you must rely on your own efforts.
In February 1983, in front of the kneeling elephant of Qin Hui in the tomb of Yue Fei in Hangzhou, Deng Xiaoping gave his grandson a story
This is also a creed of Deng Zhuodi's life.
Therefore, although Deng Zhuodi seems to have something that others cannot get from birth, in fact, the only thing Deng Zhuodi gets from his grandfather is his grandfather's patriotism and good qualities.
For him, that's what really sets him apart.
