Throughout his life, Deng Xiaoping had an iron-like will style that was neither angry nor agitated when encountering difficulties, and was unyielding to insults but endured humiliation.
It should be said that the three great Marxists, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, each have their own characteristics in terms of personal character, demeanor and temperament. Deng Xiaoping was persistent but not stubborn, confident but not arrogant, gentle but not accommodating, and tolerant but not accommodating. He has a kind of self-discipline, perseverance and perseverance; he is a tough guy who cannot be scared, overwhelmed or defeated; he is a man who can sit firmly on the fishing boat despite the wind and waves.
In life, we can often see some people whose minds swell when they encounter the slightest stimulation: when they are humiliated, they will get angry and swear; when they are angry, they will fly into a rage and yell and curse; when they are extremely hateful, they will risk everything to fight against the other party; when they are carnival, they will burst into laughter and forget everything. As a result, they can only do simple, crude, blind and stupid things. It's not that Deng Xiaoping never encountered things that made people angry or angry in his life. On the contrary, he encountered more such things than the average person. There are both strong stimulation from the gun battlefield and fierce opponents from the "civil attack" battlefield.
He was full of hatred for the reactionary warlords, angry at the "Left" leaders, deplored the mistakes made by his subordinates, and was angry and unequal to other comrades in the party for being unfairly wronged. However, at this time, Deng Xiaoping was able to restrain his emotions, control his mood, and control his words and deeds. He can remain calm and collected even in exciting situations. He is calm on the surface, but his inner strength is as solid as a rock. This is the characteristic of his will and endurance.
Deng Xiaoping's life had so many ups and downs, so many traps, so many dangers of adversity, and so many setbacks that it is unimaginable for ordinary people. But how did he overcome the ups and downs, jump out of the trap, and get out of the adversity? Let's put his self-reported statement "I am deaf and not afraid of thunder, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" into another sentence, which means to have perseverance and tolerance for setbacks in life. Without tolerance for setbacks, there will be no strong will and endurance. Forbearance and patience are inseparable. Forbearance is the basis of patience and patience is the result of patience. Only with patience can you have endurance.
