AbstractThe very large place of Deng Xiaoping in the history of modern China cannot be denied. Removed from power twice, inhabilitated three times, and superbly unaffected by innumerable self-criticism sessions, in the final two decades of his life he became the saviour of the last major communist regime on earth. This article traces the ups and downs of Deng and the reforms according to Deng.
