Biography

Deng was born in 15 November 1900 in Libo County, Guizhou, Qing dynasty. At the age of sixteen, he left Guizhou for Shandong. In 1918, he enrolled into the Shandong Jinan No.1 High School at Jinan. After the May Fourth Movement, he began to participate in student strikes, and became the editor of his high school's newspaper. In November 1920, along with with Wang Jinmei, he co-founded the Lixin Society, a communist organisation which heavily promoted the October Revolution in Russia.

In the spring of 1921, Deng participated in the creation of a communist organisation in Jinan. In July, along with Wang Jinmei, he represented the province in the 1st National Congress at Shanghai. In January 1922, Deng went to Moscow and was received by Vladimir Lenin. He went to Qingdao later that year to found the province's communist party division, and was appointed as party-secretary of the organisation. During the Northern Expedition, Deng led a major strike by the workers of the Qingdao–Jinan railway. In April 1927, he went to Wuhan as a representative of the 5th National Congress. After returning to Shandong, he was promoted as party secretary of CCP Shandong. Following the outbreak of the Chinese Civil War, Deng led several communist insurrections across Shandong. He was arrested in Jinan in December 1928, and was one of the 23 people executed by forces under Han Fuju in 5 April 1931.
