AN EXTRAORDINARY LEADER

1979年1月和1986年1月，邓小平两度成为美国《时代周刊》年度风云人物

Time magazine has twice named Deng Xiaoping as its Man of the Year, first in January 1979 and again in January 1986

在中国共产党的历史上，邓小平占据了非常重要的地位。他意志坚强，目光远大，干练果断，以在长期革命斗争中所建立的功勋，以坚定的马克思主义者的智慧、魄力和威望，赢得了人民的信任和爱戴。

中华人民共和国成立以后，他是党的第一代中央领导集体的重要成员，是第二代领导集体的核心。他以非凡的勇气大胆纠正党在特殊年代所犯的严重错误，拨正了中国革命的船头，使中国走出动荡，走向繁荣富强。他是神州大地上空的一盏明灯，无数次驱走黑暗，点亮未来。

伟人走了，事业未竟。他将丰功伟绩留给了神州大地，他将音容笑貌铭刻在各族儿女的脑海心田。

邓小平是一位有世界眼光的国际活动家，为了给中国的改革开放创建一个十分有利的国际环境，他以充沛的精力进行外事活动，虚心学习发达国家的成功经验，大胆从资本主义国家引进资金技术，拉开了“对内改革，对外开放”的划时代的历史大幕。他频繁接见外国来宾，出访许多发达国家，接触外国政要、著名企业家和各界知名人士，呕心沥血地为中国改革开放谋篇布局，大刀阔斧地开展外交活动，把世界的目光吸引到中国来，为中国的经济发展赢得了宝贵机遇和时间，也深刻影响了世界历史的进程。1979年1月、1986年1月，他两度成为美国《时代周刊》的年度风云人物。

Deng Xiaoping has certainly played an essential role in the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC). He has transformed modern China with his determination, vision and effective leadership. He has won enormous trust and respect from the Chinese people for his revolutionary accomplishments, and for his wisdom and prestige as a true Marxist.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Deng Xiaoping has been a key member of the first generation of CPC leaders, and he is the core of the second generation of CPC leaders. With extraordinary courage and leadership, he corrected the mistakes of the Cultural Revolution and brought the country back to order and normalcy. The various reform programs that he had initiated eventually launched China on a path of phenomenal economic growth and prosperity. Like a bright lamp hanging over China, he had guided the Chinese people out of darkness and lighted up their future countless times.

The death of Deng Xiaoping is far from the end of his great cause. His enduring accomplishments will forever be remembered by his motherland, and he will always be alive in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Deng Xiaoping was an extraordinary international activist with a global vision. In order to create a favorable international environment for China's reform and opening-up, he had committed himself to diplomatic activities with abundant energy, and initiated the historic reform and opening-up of China. He was humble and open-minded when he learned successful experience from developed countries, and he was audacious when he imported foreign investment and technology from capitalist countries. He met with foreign guests frequently, visited numerous developed countries, and made friends with global leaders, famous entrepreneurs and celebrities from all walks of life. He designed China's reform and opening-up program with painstaking efforts, and pushed through China's diplomatic campaign to connect with the world. Through his tireless efforts, he had earned time and precious opportunities for the country's economic development. The fact that he had been twice named Man of the Year by Time magazine testifies to his profound influence on the course of human history.
