Deng Xiaoping
邓小平
The Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping led the country’s economic liberalization and opening to the world between 1979 and 1992. Born in 1904, he became a communist political and military leader during the Chinese revolutionary period (1927-1949). In the decades after the Revolution of 1949, he served in various leadership positions under Mao Zedong, and was purged more than once for being too conciliatory toward political dissenters. After Mao’s death, he regained influence and emerged at the core of the second generation of the Chinese leadership, initiating a campaign of market-oriented economic reforms that led to a massive improvement in Chinese living standards. Deng presided over a steady improvement of relations with the West that was interrupted by the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. As part of his overall campaign of opening, he broke with the religious persecution of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).
邓小平在1979年至1992年期间领导中国的经济改革开放。出生于1904年，邓小平在中国革命时期（1927-49）成为共产党的政治和军事领袖，1949年革命之后的数十年期间，曾经在毛泽东的领导下担任过不同职位，但也因为安抚持不同政见者而多次遭到压制。毛泽东逝世之后，邓小平复出，成为第二代中国领导人的核心，并启动市场经济改革，大幅改善了中国人的生活水平。虽受1989年天安门事件的影响，邓小平始终坚持稳定地改善中国与西方国家的关系。作为总体开放政策的一部分，邓小平也废除了文化大革命期间（1966-76）迫害宗教的政策。
