World in Only One Day. I Felt That The Rest of the World

Seemed Close To US. However, in Fact, The World Was Far

Away. When deng xiaoping Came to Power, People

Began to Have New Hope. The Chinese population, whose

Lives Had Been Locked Up for a long time, Could Now

Begin to Think About The Rest of the World with
