Deng, known as the chief architect of
China's reform, opening to the outside world and modernization, was born in
1904 and died in 1997. Deng's 100th birth anniversary is Aug. 22.
To help acquaint the youth with the
great man's outstanding deeds during his life time, the Jiangsu Provincial
Education Bureau and the Jiangsu Fine Art Publishing House designed and
published the book series.
The series consists of three versions,
one with Chinese phonetic alphabets for pre-schoolers, one for elementary
school-age children and one for middle school students. The series illustrates
the thinking, stories and great deeds of the late Chinese leader.
Besides the book series, the province is also expected to hold various
activities to commemorate the late great man, including composition contests,
theme evenings and summer camps to educate the youth about China's great
leader.
