On this day, 121 years ago, on August 22, 1904 (July 12, 1904 in the lunar calendar), Deng Xiaoping, the founder of "Deng Xiaoping Theory", was born. At the age of 14, Deng Xiaoping went to France to work and study. On August 22, 1904 (July 12 of the lunar calendar), Deng Xiaoping was born. Deng Xiaoping's ancestral home was in Luling, Ji 'an, Jiangxi Province. One of his ancestors, Deng Hexuan, moved to Sichuan as a member of the Ministry of War in the 13th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1380) and has been living in Guang 'an. It has been 639 years since then and has existed for about 20 generations. The Deng family was full of heroes, including Deng Xian, the "Wen Xing Kui Shu", Deng Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Jin Dynasty, Deng Jichang, a scholar in Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, chief of the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue and deputy official of the Huguang Inspection Department, Deng Shimin, academician of the Hanlin Dynasty in Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and the chief minister of Dali Temple. After Deng Xiaoping was born, his parents named him Deng Xiansheng according to his name. When the "Sage" entered the private school to express his confusion, the gentleman from the private school was very dissatisfied with the name: Confucius called him a "Sage". How can you be a "Sage"? So Mr. changed his name to Deng Xixian, and this name has been used for 20 years. It was not until after participating in the revolution that Deng Xixian himself changed his name to Deng Xiaoping. Deng Xiaoping's life was very legendary, but his childhood and youth were very ordinary. When Deng Xiaoping was less than 6 years old, he went to Xiexing Township Primary School. At the age of 11, he was admitted to Guang 'an County's Senior Primary School, and at the age of 14, he was admitted to Guang' an County Middle School. Deng Xiaoping was talented and intelligent since he was a child. He was a good son loved by his parents at home and a hardworking student at school. Within a few months of entering middle school, he was sent by his father to Chongqing's "Work-Study Preparatory School for Studying in France". In July 1920, among the graduates of the school, the youngest was Deng Xixian. At that time, Comrade Xiaoping was not yet 16 years old. Deng Xiaoping's hometown is Paifang Village, Xiehe Town, Guang 'an County, Sichuan Province. The small village is extremely ordinary. Deng Xiaoping's former residence is an ordinary courtyard, a tiled house with a civil structure common to Sichuan people, white gray and powder walls, and wooden fences and flower windows. The entire yard is concave, which is what Sichuanese call the mouth of a dustpan. In the middle is the main house, with several side rooms on both sides, and a small dam in the middle. There are verdant plantains and cypresses around the dam, and there is a dense bamboo forest behind the house. A cement road leads directly to the door, and it is obvious at a glance that this road is specially built for visitors. In the upper room of the main house, there is a wooden plaque with the words "Deng Xiaoping's Former Residence" written upright. The interior furnishings are very simple. The left side room contains the bed that Deng Xiaoping slept on in his boyhood and an old coffee table, and the rooms on the right have beds that Deng Xiaoping's parents slept on and a stone mill. The photos of Deng Xiaoping displayed in the main room are quite rich, with hundreds of them. These photos are available from the time they went to France for work-study, to the Red Army era, the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War, and various periods after the founding of the People's Republic of China. There is also the heroic demeanor of the great man who made generous speeches at the United Nations General Assembly; in Japan, the "style of Xiaoping" in the United States 'foreign affairs activities. There is also a photo of Deng Xiaoping's family portrait in the 1950s. These photos vividly record Deng Xiaoping's glorious and outstanding revolutionary career of more than 60 years. In the spring of 1950, when Deng Xiaoping was presiding over the Southwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China, he sent a battalion of the Guard Regiment of the Second Field Command to Guang 'an to assist in collecting grain and suppressing bandits and launching the democratic revolutionary movement. 16 years later, Guang 'an suffered from the evil waves of the Cultural Revolution. A rural labor day in Guang' an was worth only a few cents, and the people's lives were very poor. Deng Xiaoping was deeply worried when he learned this. Once he met with foreign guests, he talked about the backward agriculture in China and the low living standards of farmers. He said: "The average person in my hometown Guang 'an owns more than 200 kilograms of grain, and the average annual income of a farmer is less than 50 yuan. My hometown is like that!" Deng Xiaoping always kept the worries of the people in his hometown to heart, and his concern and love were expressed in his words. After the defeat of the Gang of Four, Deng Xiaoping returned to work again. He was busy with government affairs and supporting the building, but he still cared about the people in his hometown. During the Fifth National People's Congress in February 1978, when Deng Xiaoping, who was over seventy years old, met with deputies to the National People's Congress at his hometown, he said affectionately: "I haven't been home for almost 60 years. I really want to go back and have a fun. My hometown has changed a lot!" Deng Xiaoping planned to return to his hometown many times, but failed to make it. However, his hair on his temples was white but his local accent had not changed, and the feeling of singing and dancing had always lingered in his heart. The most unforgettable thing is that in less than ten years from 1978 to 1986, Deng Xiaoping met with leaders of his hometown twice. In February 1978, Deng Xiaoping led a delegation to visit Myanmar, Nepal and other countries. On February 1, he returned to Chengdu from Myanmar and prepared to visit Nepal on February 5. In Chengdu, he cordially met with comrades from the county party committee and county government, inquired in detail about his hometown's grain output, farmers 'income, farmland infrastructure construction, drought relief, etc., and gave important instructions. In February 1986, Deng Xiaoping visited Chongqing and celebrated the Spring Festival in Chengdu. On February 13 (the fifth day of the Lunar New Year), Deng Xiaoping and Wang Zhen met with the heads of the county party committee and county government again at their residence Jinniu Hotel, placing unlimited hope on the construction of their hometown. He said to his comrades in his hometown: "We must build Guang 'an well." Deng Xiaoping's earnest teachings greatly inspired the people in his hometown. Guang 'an's reform, opening up, and modernization are accelerating, and various undertakings are booming. Especially in 1993, with the approval of the State Council, Guang 'an Urban area was established. Deng Xiaoping's hometown is changing rapidly. The Wanmen program-controlled telephone has been opened, the Guangzhou-Chongqing (Chongqing) Expressway is under rapid construction, and the 2.4-million-kilowatt Guang 'an Power Plant, a nationally planned power energy project with a large capacity, is in full swing preparations for construction. An emerging modern city is standing in northeastern Sichuan. Deng Xiaoping left a treasure of calligraphy among the people in his hometown amidst his myriad of worries. On December 25, 1982, Deng Xiaoping personally inscribed the name of the newly built "Cuiping Park" in his hometown. On August 30, 1984, when he heard that the people in his hometown had cut off the river to build a power station, he happily wrote the name of the "Liangtan Power Station". That is, with Deng Xiaoping's cordial care and encouragement, more than 3000 builders worked hard and quickly., 180 days in advance, a hydropower station was built in the middle of the canal river in June 1985... Deng Xiaoping during the Great Leap Forward in 1959 and Mao Zedong, who wore a cowboy hat in 1979, visited Deng Xiaoping's family in Texas, USA (July 1960).

One of Deng Xiaoping's biggest hobbies was playing bridge. In 1988, the 84-year-old Deng Xiaoping was still fighting the wind and waves
