Let me talk about the late Mr.DengXiaoping. He was just average in terms of appearance, except that his sparking eyes showed this must be a super intelligent gentleman. As far as I know,he joined a “work study” program in France when he was young and learned a lot of new ideas about social development. Then he returned to China and which was vastly different from most of other leaders’ back then. Some of his ideas evenlanded him in jail. But he never gave up and he never stopped learning throughout the years. Deng rose back to power again in the late 1970s.From then on, he used his knowledge and experience to finally become one of the most powerful men in China . His great thinking was obvious when he said, “To get rich is glorious.” , which was , at that time , so different from all the other political thoughts in China. Deng gave a billion people the chance to lift themselves out of poverty and showed us that a lot could actually be learned from studying other cultures. I admire Deng coz he was wise and successful. And most importantly, he showed us we should be tough and hold on to our own beliefs even when others laughed at us…
