The relationship between Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai is well-known and well-understood; however, the relationship between the latter and Deng Xiaoping is much less so. This episode of “Cultural Geography”, broadcast on Yunnan Television, describes the Deng-Zhou relationship and how their relationship made the Reform and Opening Era possible through Deng’s comeback. It draws heavily on an interview with Deng’s daughter Deng Rong, who has maintained an active hand in China’s foreign relations and people-to-people contacts.
