Deng Xiaoping's daughter Maomao When recalling the relationship between his father and Nie Rongzhen, he said: "My father and Uncle Nie Rongzhen are revolutionary comrades in the 1972 years, and their friendship is as close as brothers." Nie Rongzhen and Deng Xiaoping are fellow villagers in Sichuan, and the first time they met was in France. In 1919, 20-year-old Nie Rongzhen came to France to work and study, and a year later, 16-year-old Deng Xiaoping also came here. Two Sichuan fellow villagers met in a foreign country, and they were indescribable with joy and affection. During his work-study work in France, the two joined the Communist Party together.

Later, Nie Rongzhen and Deng Xiaoping went to study in the Soviet Union one after another. After returning from the Soviet Union, Nie Rongzhen participated in the leadership of the Nanchang Uprising and the Guangzhou Uprising and Deng Xiaoping led the Baise Uprising and . Later, both of them entered the Central Soviet Area to work. After the Red Army arrived at Maoergai on the Long March, Deng Xiaoping was transferred to the position of Propaganda Minister of the Political Department of the Red First Army. Nie Rongzhen was the political commissar of the Red First Army. The two Sichuan fellow villagers came together again to work together. At the end of 1936, Deng Xiaoping, who was in Qingyang, Gansu, unfortunately suffered from typhoid fever.

at that time, the conditions for the Red Army were very poor, and there were no good drugs available. I can only rely on the old Chinese medicine to treat herbs slowly. The condition is getting worse and worse, and I can't eat any hard things. Nie Rongzhen was very anxious, but there was no good idea. At this time, Northeast Army was engaged in united front with the Red Army. Zhang Xueliang sent people to send a lot of condolences, including some canned milk, which was a very high-end food at that time. Nie Rongzhen was very happy when he saw this milk and immediately decided to leave all of the milk to Deng Xiaoping.

By the nutrition of milk and the treatment of old Chinese medicine, Deng Xiaoping's health slowly recovered. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Nie Rongzhen joined the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and later opened the Jin-Cha-Hebei Anti-Japanese Base. Deng Xiaoping joined the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and served as the political commissar. He led his troops to fight the Japanese invaders many times. During the Liberation War, Nie Rongzhen led the North China Field Army to fight with Fu Zuoyi in the Pingjin area. Deng Xiaoping became the political commissar of the Central Olympiad and led his troops to advance into the Dabie Mountains, crossing the Huaihai battlefield, and then marched into the southwest, killing Hu Zongnan and fleeing in his arms.

During this period, although the two did not work together, they often had letters and were concerned about each other. After the founding of New China, Nie Rongzhen and Deng Xiaoping both held important positions. In 1952, Deng Xiaoping came to Beijing from Chongqing and became Vice Premier of the State Council. He lived in a small alley on the northeast corner of Jingshan, Beijing. Next door was Nie Rongzhen's house. A small wall divides them into two houses, and there is a small wooden door on the wall. When you open the door, the two houses become one.

Two old revolutionary comrades who were as close as brothers lived together and had more frequent contacts. At that time, Deng Rong and her younger brother Feifei had just entered kindergarten. Every day after school, they opened the door and ran into Nie Rongzhen's yard to play. Nie Rongzhen and his wife Zhang Ruihua loved this pair very much and often gave them candy and fruits. Deng Rong later recalled this scene and said: "In our hearts, we have regarded Uncle Nie and Mother Zhang as the same as our parents since we were young."

In 1957, Deng Xiaoping moved out of Jingshan Hutong. Although they didn't live with Nie Rongzhen, their relationship was still very close. Deng Xiao usually took his family to Nie Rongzhen's house to eat tofu . During the special period of ten years, Deng Xiaoping was in trouble several times, and Nie Rongzhen gave him the help and support within his ability. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiaoping returned to the scene, presided over the overall work, began to ramp up and reform, and even announced a disarmament of 1 million in 1985.

Nie Rongzhen strongly supported this decision and put forward his own suggestions: First, we must implement the reserve system. Once the reserve service is implemented, the standing army can reduce it; second, we must pay attention to preserving technical strength, military technicians should generally not be transferred to work and demobilized. Third, we must strengthen the research and demonstration of weapons and equipment, and try to avoid repeated waste or vacancy caused by blindness. These three suggestions later had a good effect.

In the summer of 1986, in order to further promote the rejuvenation of cadres, Nie Rongzhen and many old comrades took the initiative to retreat.Not long after, Deng Xiaoping also proposed that he would "retreat" all on " 13th ". After learning about this, Nie Rongzhen specially commissioned Wang Zhen (a member of the team of the 13th National Congress of the People's Arrangement of 5-members) to express his opinions to Deng Xiaoping. He said: "I think it is the transition period and the situation is still unstable. If Comrade Xiaoping retreats at this time, it will be unfavorable to stabilize the morale of the army. He may not participate in the Standing Committee. He retreated all and does not serve as the chairman of the Military Commission. Once there is something wrong, how can he order the entire army? Only he can suppress it, and the army will not be in chaos. Therefore, Xiaoping cannot retreat all."

Nie Rongzhen's suggestion received support from many people, so Deng Xiaoping did not "retreat all" and retained the position of Chairman of the Military Commission . Three years later, Deng Xiaoping completely retired. In his later years, due to physical reasons, he no longer went out, but he would still go to Nie Rongzhen's house from time to time. In October 1990, 86-year-old Deng Xiaoping also visited 91-year-old Nie Rongzhen and said humorously: "After the age of 90, it is victory." In 1992, Marshal Nie Rongzhen passed away, and Deng Xiaoping lost a revolutionary comrade who was as close as his brother, and was extremely sad inside.
