Este es un nombre chino, el apellido es DengDeng Xiaoping fue un político chino, máximo líder de la República Popular China desde 1978 hasta los últimos años de su vida.
Bajo su liderazgo, la República Popular China emprendió las reformas económicas de liberalización de la economía socialista[1] que permitieron a este país alcanzar unas impresionantes cuotas de crecimiento económico.[2] Frente a estos éxitos en la economía, Deng ejerció un poder de marcado carácter autoritario, y su papel fue decisivo en la represión violenta de las protestas de la Plaza de Tian'anmen en 1989.
Miembro del Partido Comunista de China desde sus años de estudio en Francia y en la Unión Soviética, Deng se convertiría en uno de los dirigentes más importantes del Partido Comunista durante la época de Mao Zedong. Sin embargo, su cercanía ideológica al entonces presidente de la República Popular Liu Shaoqi, lo convirtió en uno de los blancos de la Revolución Cultural, campaña de reafirmación ideológica impulsada por Mao, presidente del partido, para mantener el poder frente a los reformistas como Deng y Liu, quienes fueron acusados de derechistas y contrarrevolucionarios. Apartado de la cúpula del poder durante esos años de conmoción ideológica, Deng acabaría volviendo a un primer plano de la actividad política tras la muerte de Mao, imponiéndose finalmente al sucesor de este, Hua Guofeng, en la lucha por el poder. A diferencia de su antecesor, sus apariciones públicas fueron escasas.
Durante los últimos años de su vida, Deng no ocupaba ya ningún cargo político y, aquejado de la enfermedad de Parkinson, apenas podía seguir los asuntos de estado. Con todo, se le siguió considerando el líder supremo de China hasta su muerte, acaecida el 19 de febrero de 1997.

Deng is commonly quoted with this phrase in western media but there is no proof that he actually said it
However, this phrase in Chinese is more accurately translated as ""wealth is glorious,"" where wealth can have a very general meaning, including knowledge, personal relationships, family: anything of value. Understood this way, the quote is not as directly controversial as a ideological/political statement, and so it is not hard to believe that he really did say this.
