Xixian

Deng Xiaoping (22 August 1904 – 19 February 1997), courtesy name Xixian (希贤) was a Chinese revolutionary and politician.

After Chairman Mao Zedong's death, Deng led his country through far-reaching market-economy reforms.

His official state positions are Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from 1978–1983 and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China from 1983–1990, while his official party positions are Vice Chairman of the Communist Party of China from 1977–1982 and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China from 1981–1989.…more
