Deng Xiaoping (Part 2) | Ep.64

This time we continue on with our overview of the great leader Deng Xiaoping. We pick up in 1937 with the invasion by Japan, the civil war, and the founding of the PRC. We examine Deng’s achievements all the way up to 1952, the year he left the Southwest Bureau and returned to Beijing to serve as Vice Premier and to take the lead, with Mao, Zhou, Liu Shaoqi, and others in building the PRC from the ground up.

多谢🙏

This many fascinates me, never one who wanted power, greed, cult of personality, but a man who wanted justice for the Chinese people. In my opinion, Deng is greater than all the other clowns ( Hitler, Stalin, Kim ect....) Deng knew suffering and new the ills China needed to overcome, yet a humble man

[@Ray89135]

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?

[@ChinaHistoryPodcast]

People do that all the time. Here in my own neighborhood there are foreigners who don't have any financial support, don't speak English and no safety net. They find a way to survive. Those Chinese students who went to France had their own support network. Compared to the rest of his life, those years there and the hardships he faced in France were probably nothing at all.

@@ChinaHistoryPodcast Wow, it's an honor to hear from u directly. I so much admire your work on CHP. Thx a billion. Getting bk to topic. I got it, that they have support comrads, but how do they attend class w/o knowledge of French? or Russian?

[@ChinaHistoryPodcast]

@@Ray89135 You don't necessarily need fluency to attend class. Perhaps they understood 1%...or maybe nothing. How often did they go to class? Maybe there was a special class for them. For these guys, the streets of Paris was their best classroom.

@@ChinaHistoryPodcast And wouldn't the French or Russian schools require students to have basic language skills be admitting students?

Before admitting them
