On this day, 52 years ago, on March 10, 1973 (February 6, 1973 lunar calendar), Deng Xiaoping resumed the post of Vice Premier of the State Council. Deng Xiaoping, his wife Zhuo Lin, and his secretary were in Jiangxi on March 10, 1973. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made the "Decision on Restoring Comrade Deng Xiaoping's Party Organizational Life and the Post of Vice Premier of the State Council". In November 1971 and August 3, 1972, Deng Xiaoping wrote to Mao Zedong twice, expressing his willingness to do some work for the Party, the country, and the people. Mao Zedong's instructions in the letter affirmed Deng's strengths and achievements. In January 1972, when Mao Zedong attended a memorial meeting for Chen Yi, he mentioned to Chen's widow, Zhang Qian, that the nature of Deng Xiaoping's problems was a contradiction among the people. On August 14, 1972, Mao Zedong gave instructions to Deng Xiaoping's letter of August 3. Zhou Enlai immediately seized this powerful opportunity to circulate Mao Zedong's instructions and Deng Xiaoping's letter to the members of the Politburo of the Central Committee, and presided over a meeting of the Politburo of the Central Committee on March 10. Deng Xiaoping's letter and Mao Zedong's instructions were seriously discussed, and a decision was made on the restoration of Deng Xiaoping's party organizational life and the position of Vice Premier. The decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China said that Deng Xiaoping's "progress should be warmly welcomed, and he should be assigned to an appropriate job by the State Council." After Deng Xiaoping returned to Beijing from Jiangxi, he attended a banquet on April 12 to welcome Prince Sihanouk to Beijing.
