Deng Xiaoping (Part 1) | The China History Podcast | Ep. 63

Inspired by the events of May Fourth 1919, Deng Xiaoping was a lifelong revolutionary and by the end of his days had personally seen to it that China ended up the nation it was meant to be on the world stage.
In this multi-part series on the life of Deng Xiaoping we’ll trace his life, all the triumphs aas well as the tragedies. We’ll look at why he is lionized as one of the greatest 20th century world leaders and also why some have vilified Deng for his actions. His life itself is an interesting prism from which to view 20th century China.

In what book did you base this information on? thanks

[@lp4755]

I wonder what kind of books he read while in Europe and Russia

[@ChinaHistoryPodcast]

I'm guessing books heavy on Marxism-Leninism

[@lp4755]

@@ChinaHistoryPodcast ok. Thanks

Can Lazlo or someone answer these questions? I always wonder, but no one explains, how Deng & others were able to live and study in France and Russia with no financial support (per Lazlo), no working fluency in French of Russian (per Lazlo)? Don't they need to eat, have a roof (bed), attend classes, get around?

Ask refugees today. Which would you chose? The question is how could they think of their surviving going BACK!

[@misterhill5598]

The story of many refugees who went to a new country with only the clothe on their back and nothing in their pocket. They somehow survive, and some thrives.

[@ChinaHistoryPodcast]
