Deng Shuping

• ... that Deng Shuping (pictured), younger brother of Deng Xiaoping, was classified as an “enlightened landlord”?

• Source: 邓蜀平共有兄弟4人，即大哥邓小平，二哥邓垦，四弟邓先清。邓蜀平年纪稍长，是邓家房屋财产的继承人和家族势力的支撑者。在家乡，邓蜀平曾冒着生命危险，暗中给当地的热血青年写介绍信，推荐到延安找其兄长邓小平，使不少人得以投身革命。解放后，他被划为地主，但因他不逼租债，不放高利贷和不杀人越货，因此在肃反、反右、四清运动中，他都没有受到任何牵连。政府给他的结论是：地主出身，但是属于开明地主。 (Trans: Deng Shuping had four brothers: Deng Xiaoping (eldest), Deng Ken (second), and Deng Xianqing (youngest). Deng Shuping, being the eldest, was the heir to the family property and the pillar of the family's influence. In his hometown, Deng Shuping risked his life to secretly write letters of introduction to local patriotic youths, recommending them to Yan'an to find his elder brother, Deng Xiaoping, thus enabling many to join the revolution. After liberation, he was classified as a landlord, but because he did not extort rent, lend money at usurious rates, or commit murder and robbery, he was not implicated in the Anti-Rightist Campaign, the Anti-Rightist Campaign, or the Four Cleanups Movement. The government's conclusion regarding him was: of landlord birth, but an enlightened landlord. ""邓小平三弟邓蜀平的坎坷人生" [The Tumultuous Life of Deng Xiaoping's Third Brother, Deng Shuping].

Overall: @Toadboy123: Article was created on August 24 so it is new enough. The sources look adequate. QPQ is met. Mildly interesting hook for those who know Chinese history. My only big request is for you to add a line like "Deng was the younger brother of Deng Xiaoping and Deng Ken." to the Early Life section. Jon698 (talk) 05:17, 25 August 2026 (UTC)
