The eldest daughter, Deng Lin, has experienced hardships since she was a child, but she has cultivated a tenacious and introverted character. She has a special love for art, especially the freehand style of traditional Chinese painting. After years of hard study, Deng Lin finally stood out under the guidance of a famous teacher and became a rookie in the literary and artistic circles. Her paintings are well-known at home and abroad, and she has appeared in many domestic and foreign art exhibitions, and even went to South Korea, France and other countries for art exchanges and studies.

Deng Gong's eldest son, Deng Pufang, was a fighter who became stronger because of his bumpy fate. He studied nuclear physics at Peking University, but was implicated in the turmoil and was imprisoned. During his detention, he fell from a height and injured both legs, leaving him disabled for life. However, he was not crushed by fate and got back on his feet with tenacious perseverance.

In the early 90s, he returned from his studies and worked as a technology executive in a multinational company in Hong Kong, where he won recognition and respect from the industry for his excellent work ability. It is worth mentioning that he got married to a female international student during his study abroad and tied the knot, and the two have a son, Deng Zhuodi. Although Deng Zhuodi was born in the United States and automatically obtained American citizenship, Deng Zhifang firmly chose to let his children return to their motherland and settle in Beijing. This kind of deep affection and responsibility for the motherland is admirable. Tang Chi-fong's development in Hong Kong is like a fish in water, but he has always maintained a low-key and humble attitude and lived a simple life.
