Deng Xiaoping is a great Marxist, chief designer of reform and opening up and modernization construction, and the founder of Theory of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics . Comrade Deng Xiaoping made an indelible contribution to China's development today and China's economy can take off today.
After Deng Xiaoping's death, politicians and media from all over the world also expressed regret for his death. As the second generation leader of China, Deng Xiaoping played an extremely important role in China's development. He is not only a stabilizing shot in China's development, but also the second generation of core leaders after Chairman Mao.
After his death, many official media including the US Time magazine, the British BBC and Japan Asahi Shimbun have set up special sections to track and report on Deng Xiaoping's death. After Deng Xiaoping's death, how did politicians and media in various countries evaluate him?
Deng Xiaoping
military achievements are significantly the revolutionary
Deng Xiaoping's growth trajectory overlaps with Premier Zhou.
Deng Xiaoping was born in 1904. After studying in his hometown for a few years, he went to France to work and study with the help of his family. He was exposed to communist ideas while working in a rubber factory in France and officially joined the Youth Communist Party of China in the summer of 1922.
1926, Deng Xiaoping went to the Soviet Union, a socialist powerhouse, to learn a lot of communist theoretical knowledge at Moscow Oriental University .
In the spring of 1927, he returned to China and opened up many revolutionary bases with the older generation of Chinese revolutionaries, directly participating in many major battles in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation.
It is worth mentioning that when the three major battles of Liaoshen Battle , Huaihai Battle , and Pingjin Battle broke out, Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng personally visited the front line and destroyed the main military force that Chiang Kai-shek rely on to maintain. After the founding of New China, he was mainly responsible for diplomacy, politics and economic development .
Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng
It is precisely because he directly participated in various important historical periods of China's development that he has such an understanding of China's national conditions, and has the courage and perseverance to disagree and make important decisions on reform and opening up.
Deng Xiaoping's work nature is special. He basically has a long and long time. The long-term work pressure and high-load work have caused certain problems in his body.
After the 1990s entered the 1990s, Deng Xiaoping's health was worse than before. In his later years, Deng Xiaoping suffered from Parkinson's disease and advanced , which caused lung infection and was admitted to the hospital.
In the early morning of December 12, 1996, Deng Xiaoping woke up and felt unable to breathe. Since there was no one around him, he could only try to make himself feel better by constantly coughing and .
After the nurse discovered this situation, she immediately sent him to the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army of China. The nurse responsible for taking care of Deng Xiaoping never expected that he would never go back after leaving.

Does the great man pass away?
Deng Xiaoping has been receiving treatment in the hospital after entering the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army of China.
Whenever Deng Xiaoping was sick, the medical staff responsible for taking care of him couldn't help crying. Guo Qinying, who was taking care of Deng Xiaoping, said in an interview:
"Deng Xiaoping was in very bad health in his later years. He was still very painful when the disease occurred. It was unbearable for ordinary people to bear it, but like usual, he never made any requests or medicines to the medical staff who took care of her."
He said that Deng Xiaoping was really too strong. In the memory of the staff, Deng Xiaoping's ward was always so quiet, and he never groaned because of pain. People are not plants and trees, how could they not feel the pain? It's just because Deng Xiaoping doesn't want to cause trouble to everyone.

Deng Xiaoping's doctor, who was also very moved when talking about this matter. He said that getting sick in his later years was a very painful thing, but Deng Xiaoping was very cooperative during the treatment.
In addition, the doctor also said that what surprised them the most was the performance of Deng Xiaoping's family. Deng Xiaoping's family cooperated with the work of medical staff and believed in the medical staff very much. They had almost never raised any doubts about the plans provided by the doctor.
It is precisely because Deng Xiaoping himself and his family cooperated so well that the treatment went so smoothly, but unfortunately, this great man still failed to survive this difficulty.
On February 19, 1997, Deng Xiaoping passed away forever due to respiratory failure and ineffective rescue.
Deng Xiaoping
After Deng Xiaoping's death, Zhuo Lin and his whole family made their final farewell to him.
Zhuo Lin told the leaders of the CPC Central Committee that Deng Xiaoping had specially instructed her several things before his death, that is, not to say goodbye to the body, not to set up a mourning hall, to dissect the body, leave the cornea for medical research, and to scatter the ashes into the sea.
This great man who served the people in has been considering the people until his death, which is really touching. The reason why Deng Xiaoping said that he would scatter the ashes into the sea was mainly because he had an agreement with Zhou Enlai and others that he wanted to see more of the world.
After learning about Deng Xiaoping's last wish, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sprinkled his ashes into the rivers and seas as he wished, allowing him to continue to accompany this country he loves and the people he loves in another way.

Countries' political leaders posted comments
Deng Xiaoping's death is both the pain of his family and the people of the whole of China and the world. Early the next morning, Xinhua News Agency released the long-prepared servant report in the news.
Accompanied by the low tone of the announcer, the Chinese people inside and outside the Great Wall were crying. Deng Xiaoping is the core leader of the Communist Party of China. His death is a big event for anyone, so Xinhua News Agency has many things to do before publishing the news.
Just as the editors raced against time to complete the work, CNN TV in the United States was the first to announce the news of Deng Xiaoping's death.
However, when CNN reporters did not make a definite conclusion when reporting on this matter, they just said that "Deng Xiaoping may have passed away, but it has not been confirmed."
US CNN
This news released by Americans attracted the attention of people all over the world. Just as the Chinese people were in full swing, Xinhua News Agency and other official media announced the death of Deng Xiaoping.
The relationship between the United States and Deng Xiaoping can be said to be very far-reaching and complex. Deng Xiaoping has actively promoted a number of cooperations between China and the United States, and has also dealt a huge blow to the arrogant Americans in diplomacy and military. The United States' Marine Corps officer Carlson once commented on Deng Xiaoping like this, and he said that Deng Xiaoping is as spicy as " mustard ".
Although the word "mustard" sounds very abstract, it is indeed appropriate to use mustard to describe Deng Xiaoping. He is so decisive and distinctive.
Whether in the early process of the US-Soviet battle for , or in the later 1000 strong situations, Deng Xiaoping always maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude when facing the United States and maintained an appropriate diplomatic distance from the United States.
Deng Xiaoping
Many years after Deng Xiaoping's death, Time magazine still tracked and reported Deng Xiaoping himself on the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up, saying that reform and opening up is Deng Xiaoping's legacy.
In addition to the United States, the Japanese also attached great importance to Deng Xiaoping's death. Japan's Asahi Shimbun is the first media in Japan to publish Deng Xiaoping's death.
The relationship between China and Japan is very complicated. Just in the early last century, the Japanese came to China and committed unforgivable sins, which brought profound pain and disaster to the Chinese people. Therefore, the relationship between China and Japan has always been bad. It was not until 1972 that the relationship between China and Japan ushered in a breaking ice.
In 1978, Deng Xiaoping arrived in Japan with a mission and signed the Treaty of Friendship and Equality with the Japanese, making outstanding contributions to the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations. His visit also left a good impression in the hearts of the Japanese.

Deng Xiaoping's visit to Japan is a good thing for the Japanese to cheer up the whole country, so after Deng Xiaoping's death, Asaka TV station also filmed a debate program to commemorate the great man.
In addition to the two countries that have complex relations with China, the United States and Japan, the United Kingdom also released a large number of comments and news after Deng Xiaoping's death.
Deng Xiaoping had many dealings with the British during his lifetime. When Hong Kong returned to , he had many long talks with British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher . His neither humble nor arrogant attitude and confidence in defending sovereignty attracted a large number of British people.
When Hong Kong returned, Mrs. Thatcher made a wild statement in the UK that she would not give up Hong Kong, but after coming to China and meeting Deng Xiaoping, she threw down her armor and retreated step by step, and eventually returned all the rights and interests that belonged to China to China.
Deng Xiaoping and Mrs. Thatcher
It is precisely because Deng Xiaoping always adhered to the sovereignty issue of Hong Kong's return to Hong Kong and never bowed to Mrs. Thatcher that Hong Kong has today's development. After Deng Xiaoping took back Hong Kong, he fulfilled his promise and achieved the take-off of Hong Kong's economy with the one country, two systems plan.
Facts have proved that his concept of one country, two systems is very suitable for the mainland and Hong Kong. Even British Prime Minister Major has expressed his admiration for Deng Xiaoping and his reverence for the decision-making of one country, two systems.
Although Deng Xiaoping hindered the British's ambition to expand, he was a respected opponent for the Chinese people, and his death also made the British people feel strong sadness.
In addition to the United Kingdom, our old friends, Russian and North Korean leaders also expressed high regret for Deng Xiaoping's death.

When Deng Xiaoping died, Yeltsin, then President of Russia, sent his condolences as soon as possible. He said that Deng Xiaoping was the father of China's reform and opening up, and his successful experience is worth learning from by the Russians. He himself is very grateful to Deng Xiaoping for his great contribution to the friendly exchanges between China and Russia.
After Comrade Deng Xiaoping's death, the king of Cambodia immediately sent a telegram to China. He said: "Deng Xiaoping is an outstanding leader at home and abroad, and a hero of the Cambodian people. It is also a contribution of Deng Xiaoping to become an independent, neutral, non-aligned and territorial integrity country."
He said that Deng Xiaoping made the greatest contribution to China's development and territorial integrity and contributed to the development of the world. Such a person is enough to win the praise and welcome of the people of the world.
Similarly, Palestine Palestine Arafat also expressed their sorrow. The president said: "I felt very sudden when I heard the news of Deng Xiaoping's death. I would like to express my deepest condolences to the friendly Chinese people and government."
Arafat
Portuguese President said that the reform and opening-up policy proposed by Deng Xiaoping has made China achieve unusual development in the past 20 years. Deng Xiaoping is a very outstanding state activist, and the Portuguese people respect him very much. It is precisely because Deng Xiaoping disagrees that Portugal's joint statement on the Macau issue can be signed as promised.
Deng Xiaoping worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a long time during his lifetime, and he had a good relationship with Singapore leaders. After his death, Lee Kuan Yew also expressed his condolences. Lee Kuan Yew said:
"Deng Xiaoping is a great man. When China resisted warlord oppression and Japanese invaders, he made great contributions to China's revolutionary cause. He saved China when China's economic development was hindered and made China a world power."
After hearing this, the Governor of Macau of China said, "Mr. Deng Xiaoping will be famous for thousands of history."
Lee Kuan Yew
When the Korean people, who were kind to our country in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, showed the same sadness as the Chinese when they learned that Deng Xiaoping had passed away. They gathered on the streets and said their final goodbye to the great man who influenced the world and changed history in their own way.
It is particularly worth mentioning that when Deng Xiaoping passed away, the United Headquarters specially lowered the flag to express their regret for the matter.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s “Southern Talk”. In this special year, Guang'an City also held a special commemorative event called “The Story of Spring” to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s death. The holding of this event made people once again deeply feel the spirit and contribution of this great man.
Deng Xiaoping
Without the Communist Party, there would be no New China, and without these ancestors, there would be no Communist Party that flourished later. It has been 25 years since Deng Xiaoping passed away.
Although he is no longer alive, his spirit and his deeds will not be forgotten, and his decisions are still deeply affecting China's future.
Deng Xiaoping was very concerned about China's economic development, military development and political development during his lifetime. If he could see China today, if he learned that China is now the second largest economy in the world, if he could see the achievements of reform and opening up today, he would definitely feel particularly relieved.
As a Chinese, we can only be ashamed of our predecessors and walk the road ahead, so that we can truly live up to our efforts and truly realize the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation.
