Xiaoping Trail commemorates the 120th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Deng Xiaoping/小平小道 纪念邓小平同志诞辰120周年

From October 1969 to February 1973, Comrade Deng Xiaoping was sent to work at the Tractor Repair Factory in Xinjian County, Jiangxi Province. He traveled back and forth on a 1,500-meter-long path paved with furnace ash from the factory to his residence, rain or shine. This is the famous "Xiaoping Trail". Comrade Xiaoping observed, thought, and waited on the trail, and with steady steps, he walked out a road of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, and reform and opening up, a road of socialism with Chinese characteristics that leads to a strong country and a happy people. Zhu Hong, a famous cultural scholar, completed the creation of "Xiaoping Trail" with five years of in-depth research, reading a large amount of information, investigating historical sites, and interviewing eyewitnesses of the event. The book tells the special experience of Comrade Xiaoping's labor training in Jiangxi, records his profound thinking on major issues such as China's reform and opening up and socialist cause on the Xiaoping Trail, explores the mental journey of a generation of great men in distress, and shows his great demeanor, firm belief and lofty realm that he still maintains in adversity. This book combines the authenticity and depth of history with the unique charm of literary narration, giving people the firm confidence and surging power to continue to hold high the great banner of reform and opening up in the new era.
