After becoming the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Deng Xiaoping said: "These are the busiest ten years of his life.
What efforts did Comrade Deng Xiaoping make for New China?
Mr. Deng, who was worried about the country, admitted that Only those who are left behind can thrive.
In 1977, Ye Zhiqiang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy of my country, came to Zhongnanhai with a look of resentment.
After meeting Deng Xiaoping, he vomited out his bitterness: "Deng Gong. , I am so wronged, these Japanese are so bullying."
Seeing Ye Zhiqiang's unwilling look, Comrade Deng Xiaoping also guessed the reason. Not long ago, Ye Zhiqiang, as a representative of China's metallurgical profession, was invited to Visiting Japan.
However, this experience resulted in a "severe humiliation".
After arriving in Japan, the Japanese representative warmly invited Ye Zhiqiang and others to have a meal, but when the waiter brought the can of beer, an embarrassing scene occurred. For this novel thing, Ye Zhiqiang didn't even know how to open it.

Comrade Deng Xiaoping was equally shocked when he heard this. It was this report that opened Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic path to the south.
During this year, Deng Xiaoping visited Singapore. , Malaysia , Japan and other countries, but after coming to Japan, they also spent one-third of our country's total annual tax revenue. Why is this?

In this way, in 1978, my country spent 30 billion to introduce Japan's advanced metallurgical technology and equipment and established Baosteel Group.
You must know that at that time, our country's annual GDP was only 364.5 billion, and the annual tax revenue was only about 80 billion, which cost almost half of the national treasury.
But history has proven that the great man’s decision was right. Today, Baosteel can produce 20 million tons of steel every year, firmly ranking the world leader. In 2006 alone, its revenue reached 22,663.4 billion U.S. dollars, and it is also in hot and cold processing. , hydraulic sensing, electronic control and other fields have technical developments.
However, such a great man did not even fulfill his last wish before his death. In addition to the stable development of the country, Deng Xiaoping was most concerned about the integrity of the territory. In order to recover Hong Kong and Macau, Deng Xiaoping has been constantly running and working hard.
And his biggest wish is that after Hong Kong's return, he can walk on this land and see the people and life here.
But just before the return of Hong Kong, in early 1997, Comrade Deng Xiaoping still could not withstand the erosion of the disease and finally passed away. After his death, the whole world got the news. Countless Chinese people kept thinking Wiping away tears, newspapers across the country published articles saying "Dear Comrade Deng Xiaoping is Immortal".
After receiving the news, the French President also said: ", the greatest great man in Chinese history, needs to be commemorated by all of us."
In fact, as early as 1984, Deng Xiaoping had always wanted to visit Hong Kong. On December 19, 1984, our country and the United Kingdom signed the "Sino-British Joint Declaration."
At this moment, Deng Xiaoping said to Mrs. Thatcher : " I hope I will still be there at that time. If I can live to that time, I must go to Hong Kong to see it."
But before the return of Hong Kong, this land was still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. In order to see this land with his own eyes, Deng Xiaoping specially came to Wen Kam To Port during his inspection in Shenzhen. In a low border defense building, Deng Xiaoping looked at Hong Kong from a distance and couldn't let go of this land that was about to be returned to China for a long time.
During this process, he didn't say a word, just watched quietly, but at this time, his heart was not calm. This piece of Chinese land, due to historical reasons, was already in the hands of others. It has been a hundred years, and seeing Hong Kong is like seeing China's arduous journey over the past hundred years.
The picture shows Deng Xiaoping inspecting Shenzhen in early 1992 and looking affectionately at Hong Kong at Huanggang Port.
Why Hong Kong was ceded to Britain
Since the 19th century, Britain has continued to expand its colonies around the world.
Until it expanded to the coastal areas of China, Britain wanted to develop a colony of its own that could conduct trade. Britain searched for a period of time along the coast of China and chose Hong Kong.
The first Opium War broke out in 1840 and Dinghai fell. The British troops split into two groups and attacked the Shajiao Fort and Chuanbi Fort on the east and west sides of Humen. China resisted tenaciously, but the forts were still lost and suffered heavy casualties.
In 1841, the Qing Dynasty was defeated by the British. The Qing minister Qishan negotiated and signed the " Chuanbi Grass Treaty" with the British Navy Yijin. The Hong Kong port was ceded to the United Kingdom, but Qishan did not sign the draft treaty. stamp.
After that, Britain continued to invade for more than a year. In August 1842, it forced the Qing government to sign the "Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing" to formally cede Hong Kong to Britain, making Hong Kong a British colony.
In the following 1860, the coalition forces of Britain and France defeated the Qing government in the Second Opium War and signed the " Treaty of Beijing" forcing the Qing government to cede the Kowloon Peninsula south of present-day Hong Kong to the United Kingdom, and British missionaries were allowed to rent land in China to preach.
In 1897, the missionaries were killed, and the British took the opportunity to occupy Weihai, Shandong Province. On the pretext of strengthening Hong Kong's defense affairs, the British forced the Qing government to sign the "Special Treaty on Expanding Hong Kong Street Sites." Hong Kong was leased from the Qing government for a period of 99 years..
The return of Hong Kong was celebrated by the whole country.
The return of Hong Kong was an incident in which the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland handed Hong Kong back to the People's Republic of China after the cession of Hong Kong in the First and Second Opium Wars. This event meant that the government of the People's Republic of China had Hong Kong resumed the exercise of sovereignty.
In September 1982, Deng Xiaoping negotiated with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on the future of Hong Kong.
Deng Xiaoping proposed the "one country, two systems" plan, which can use one country, two systems to solve the problem of reclaiming Hong Kong's sovereignty.
Deng Xiaoping made it clear that China has no room for maneuver on this issue of sovereignty and must make clear provisions. China will take back Hong Kong in 1997.
The two sides reached a consensus during the negotiations and resolved the recycling issue in Hong Kong through diplomatic negotiations.
After that, China and Britain went through many more talks. The fourth round of talks was held on September 22, 1983, the fifth round of talks was held on October 19, and the seventh round of talks was held in December. After many talks, Hong Kong The return has also made progress and entered a new stage.
British Foreign Secretary Howey visited Beijing in April 1984, and then went to Hong Kong. Howey made a public statement in Hong Kong, announcing that Britain would give up sovereignty over Hong Kong after 1997.
Howie said: "The British idea of continuing to control Hong Kong will not be realized."
During this period, members of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council of Hong Kong continued to visit the United Kingdom. Among them, Luo Bao, an unofficial member of the Legislative Council, also proposed the "Luo Bao Motion." Luo Bao was a British Portuguese, born in Macau in 1923. , Luo Bao’s father was an influential person in Macau in the 1940s and 1950s.
Luo Bao is doing business in Hong Kong and owns dozens of companies.
He has served in the Hong Kong Government Community Chest, Education Committee, Tenancy Tribunal, and Housing Authority. In 1978, Luo Bao became a member of the Executive Council and the Chief Member of the Legislative Council.
In 1984, Luo Bao proposed a Luo Bao motion through the Legislative Council. The motion stated that any suggestions regarding the future of Hong Kong must come to the Legislative Council for debate and substantiation before reaching an agreement.
Luo Bao’s motion has caused constant controversy among all walks of life in Hong Kong. It was not until June 1984 that the negotiations between China and Britain reached the final stage. One month after the negotiations, British Foreign Minister Howie came to Beijing again.
After the visit, Howie arrived in Hong Kong on August 1, held a press conference, and publicly announced that China and Britain had reached an agreement and agreed to the main contents of the Hong Kong sovereignty draft. After , the British Ambassador to China, Charlie Evans, and the head of the Chinese delegation, Zhou Nan, attended instead of Zhuo Lin in 1984, realizing the long-cherished wish of the great man. On September 26, they submitted a joint statement on the future of Hong Kong in Beijing, and in 1985 On May 27, 2016, the Chinese and British governments exchanged letters of approval, and the joint declaration was officially signed and came into effect. Hong Kong also began its transition to returning to China to exercise sovereignty.
But the great man who thought about Hong Kong has never set foot on this land again.
At 9 o'clock in the morning on February 24, 1997, after all the leaders bid farewell to Deng Xiaoping's body, the body was sent to Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery for cremation.
Later, Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s wife Zhuo Lin complied with Deng Xiaoping’s last wish and scattered his ashes into the sea.
On July 1, 1997, nearly four months after the death of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, Hong Kong finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
On this day, Zhuo Lin also received an invitation to attend the return ceremony with Comrade Deng Xiaoping's last wish.When Zhuo Lin appeared on the stage, everyone present was excited.
Because her appearance not only represents Her personal and the last wish of Deng Xiaoping, the great chief architect of reform and opening up.
For China, Deng Xiaoping's decision-making played a key role and laid a solid path for China's prosperity and stable development.
Deng Xiaoping believed that if New China wants to embark on the road of strength, it cannot take credit and be arrogant. Only by having the courage to admit its backwardness can it catch up. Being behind is not terrible for him. Only by not admitting its backwardness and not facing up to the gap can we catch up. will really fall behind. What we should do is to find out our own shortcomings and learn from the strengths of others, so that New China can continue to develop strongly.
Today, it is the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Seeing such a prosperous age is what this old man wants to see...Similarly, we miss you especially today!
