## Bio

Born to a landowning family in Sichuan in 1904, Deng Xiaoping absorbed Marxism in France during the 1920s Work-Study Movement, studied in Moscow, and joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1924. He survived the Long March as a Red Army political commissar, helped deliver the 1949 victory, and rose to vice premier and party secretary-general under Mao - until the Cultural Revolution branded him "number two capitalist roader" and sent him to a tractor factory for four years. After Mao died in 1976, Deng outmaneuvered rivals and by 1978 commanded the country. He launched reform and opening up: market incentives, special economic zones, the one-child policy, nine-year compulsory education, the 863 technology program, and the 1982 Constitution with term limits. The deals for Hong Kong and Macau bore his "one country, two systems" formula. Time named him Person of the Year twice. Then in June 1989 he ordered tanks into Tiananmen Square, ending his political liberalization and staining the record that had already made China a rising power.
