Deng Xiaoping's legacy as a social reformer is considered in this article in the context of his ideas regarding the selection and promotion of human talent, and the implications of those ideas for the political and social order. Deng's ideas are contrasted primarily with those of Mao Zedong. The article notes that Deng has tried to use reforms to preserve the political system to which he has devoted his life. (DÜI-Sen)
