 | | In 1920, 16-year-old Deng Xiaoping, named Deng Xixian at that time, left for France, to learn something really useful to save his mother country, which was suffering from both aggression from outside and warlordism within at that time. |
 | | In the following years, he got to know Nie Rongzhen, the late marshal of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and Zhou Enlai, the first premier of the People's Republic of China. |
