Deng xiaoping hua guofeng biography

Dèng Xiǎopínglisten (help·info) (in English also written Teng Hsiao-p'ing; 22 August 1904 – 19 February 1997) was a Chinese revolutionary, politician and reformer.

He was the leader of the Chinese Communist Party. Deng never held office as the head of state or the head of government, but was the de facto leader of the People's Republic of China from 1978 to the early 1990s.

Deng has often been described as practical due to his open market policies after the death of Mao, whilst not deviating much from the original socialist elements of the People's Republic of China.
