Deng Xiaoping in historic transformation 历史转折中的邓小平 (li shi zhuan zhe zhong de Deng Xiaoping)

A TV series that tells the story of former leader Deng Xiaoping during China's historic transformation in the late 1970s debuted on China Central Television this week. It reveals many sensitive details of that period for the first time through an official media outlet.

The TV series, with Deng as the leading figure, presents a panoramic view of China's leaders between October 1976, when the "Gang of Four" was ousted, and 1984 when the country fully launched the reform and opening-up drive.
