Introduction: In the long river of history, there is an outstanding politician Deng Xiaoping, who has twice returned to lead China, shaping an indelible historical mark. This article will review Deng Xiaoping's two comebacks and explore his wit and firmness in the political arena.
In 1971, China's political situation changed, Chairman Mao's health deteriorated, and his heart became heavier. At this time, Chairman Mao often missed his old friends, especially Chen Yi, Liu Bocheng and other comrades-in-arms who had shared his happiness and suffering, and Deng Xiaoping, a politician who acted resolutely and decisively.
Chairman Mao's thoughts were gradually conveyed to Premier Zhou, who keenly captured this message and decided to use Chairman Mao's words to create public opinion for Deng Xiaoping's comeback. Unafraid of serious physical illness, Premier Zhou personally presided over the meeting of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee to convey Chairman Mao's instructions. This was the first step in Deng Xiaoping's comeback.
Finally, after Premier Zhou's unremitting efforts, the CPC Central Committee issued the Decision on Resuming Comrade Deng Xiaoping's Party Organization and Life and the Office of Vice Premier of the State Council. The curtain was opened on Deng Xiaoping's comeback, all in the spring of 1972.
The meeting between Deng Xiaoping and Chairman Mao attracted the attention of the world, and the clasped hands between the two great leaders seemed to have resolved past grievances. Deng Xiaoping reappeared in the Great Hall of the People as vice premier of the State Council for a grand banquet, marking his political comeback.
Chairman Mao had always relied heavily on Deng Xiaoping, and on many occasions publicly praised his decisiveness and political ideas. Chairman Mao's high praise made Deng Xiaoping's return to the central leadership position a reality.
However, after Deng Xiaoping's comeback, he faced difficulties from Jiang Qing and others. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and good at defusing crises. Chairman Mao also saw through the sinister intentions of those small gangs and praised Deng Xiaoping's talents and political ideas in public.
Deng Xiaoping resolutely carried out the reform of the national economy and was determined to achieve the great goals of agriculture, industry, national defense, and scientific and technological modernization. However, his reforms were obstructed by Jiang Qing and others, who also fabricated charges to frame him. In order to protect his personal safety, Chairman Mao decided to temporarily suspend his work.
On September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao passed away, and the country fell into deep grief. Soon after, the Party Central Committee headed by Hua Guofeng completely smashed Jiang Qing and his gang and restored normal political order. However, the fate of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall has sparked widespread controversy. Some advocate the demolition of the memorial, arguing that the Mao era is over.
At this time, an Italian journalist and writer, Farage, came to interview Deng Xiaoping to understand the Chinese government's position. Deng Xiaoping wittily acceded to the reporter's request, hoping to convey the Chinese government's basic position to the outside world.
On August 21, 1980, Deng Xiaoping and Farage met in Zhongnanhai, Beijing. Farage began the interview with sharp questions, but Deng answered her frankly and firmly. He stressed the need to keep the statue of Chairman Mao forever and explained the position of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.
Farage was impressed by Deng's frankness and humor. She called Deng Xiaoping the most candid and in-depth of all the leaders to talk about history.
Deng Xiaoping's interview became a milestone in history, showing the demeanor of China's second-generation leaders and giving the world a more comprehensive understanding of China. Deng Xiaoping made two comebacks and shaped the course of China's history with his wit and firmness. His leadership has brought about China's reform, opening up and modernization, leaving an indelible mark. We should remember his great contribution and move on.
