Deng's Background
Deng was born
in Guang'an, China on August 22, 1904. When he was a teenager, he realized that
China needed to modernize with the new generation's help. In turn, he joined the CCP in high school,
believing this party could improve China's wellbeing.

Wu Yezhang, a member of the Chongqing[, decided] to prepare young people to go to France on a work-study program. After passing the entrance examinations, the boy was enrolled in the school . . . [H]is ardent hope was to go to France to learn industrial skills through work and study for the benefit of the country."
