PICTURES REFORMED TAKE 3

Our second leader in Pictures Reformed is none other than Deng Xiaoping! Hope you managed to guess it.

More facts:
Deng was born in Sichuan. While studying in France, he become exposed to Communism and became Zhou Enlai's trusted right-hand man in the European branch of the CCP. Deng participated in the GMD and CCP first United Front against the warlords as an organiser-infiltrator in the GMD, rioting after the split in 1927. He then joined Mao's forces in Jiangxi province. He was faithful and loyal but did not rise to prominence until World War II. However in the early 1970s, he became a purge victim of Mao, and spent his time deciding how to approach the chaos that Mao and his radical followers had caused, for a peaceful China. He was purged again after the Tiananmen Incident, and returned to power for the third time after the death of Mao and Zhou.

Here's another revolutionary leader than built China to what it is today! Can you guess who this is?




CLUE: He was widely recognised as a pariotic revolutionary and a skilled negotiator.
