“Deng Xiaoping’s transference in Jiangxi” between October of 1969 and February of 1972 was an important period in the history of development of his thought and also in the initiation of the theory of Chinacharacteristic socialism, marking the start of the theory. In those times, Deng Xiaoping formed his preliminary understanding of the nature of the “Cultural Revolution”, which laid the basis for the later evaluation of Mao Zedong’s historical status and made significant theoretical preparations for the theory of Chinacharacteristic socialism politically. Meanwhile Deng’s personal experience of the people’s lowlevel life and recognition of backward Chinese economy motivated him for the later initiation of economic reform and opendoor policy, theoretically paving the way for development of Chinacharacteristic socialism.
