The initial stage of Deng Xiuting

Because when I was a child, my family was repeatedly robbed by Yi bandits, and I was poor, uneducated and illiterate. Angry from a small fire, taciturn and alert. Their living habits are the same as those of the Yi people, and they are proficient in Liangshan Yi dialect. When people visit each other or celebrate festivals, they all act according to the customs of the Yi people, which is highly praised by the local Yi people. The local Yi people once said privately, "Even if a sparrow flies over Zenaga (Xiaoxiangling), it can't escape from Dingjia 'a (Deng Xiuting). It can be said that it has a unique vision! "When I was young, I first put ducks at my uncle's house in Yang Xiu Village, Mianning, and then went home to chop wood and wait on my mother. When I was seventeen or eighteen, I switched to mountain products business. With his familiarity and kindness to the Yi people, the business is getting more and more lively. At this time, there were already two white slaves (wazi) at home to take care of the housework for him, and later they all became his housekeepers. 1909, moved from Lanba to Ganxiangying, and was elected as the local general group. Since ancient times, Xiaoxiangling Mountain has been the only place between Chengdu and Xichang (the Southern Silk Road). During the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, pedestrians and business travelers were often robbed and kidnapped by Yi bandits here, and the avenue was sometimes blocked. Deng intervened in the management as a corps, led armed groups, escorted pedestrians and businessmen over mountains and charged sentry fees. Over the years, he became famous, surrounded by hundreds of people and dozens of guns, and became a local leader. Xichang celebrity Kang once wrote poems praising him as a frontier hero. " At this point, Deng Xiuting just in his early twenties. Deng died in Jiangxi at the age of 56. It is best to shake, people are in constant fear. First, on the deathbed, thousands of Han soldiers and civilians from Xichang flocked to the Chenghuang Temple and prayed with tears, hoping to shorten their life span and add three years to Commander Deng's. Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, the pillar of the Han people in Xichang finally died. Before Deng Xiuting died, he was worried about what was behind him. He once left his last words to his secretary, Lee Hoi chang, and others, saying, "In the decades after my death, if the barbarian land resurfaces, my elbows and armpits will have to live several times, and the state will not handle it properly, then nobody will take care of it, and it is better to be in chaos. If the weather, geography, people and harmony are lost, Han people can retreat to the north of Dadu River or the south of Jinsha River to survive. " Deng Wei, chairman of Xikang provincial government and commander of the 24th Army, and Liu sent Lai Zhizhong to Gansu to preside over Deng's funeral and aftermath. Deng Zideliang (actually adopted son) set up a spiritual health system, and thousands of "forty-eight" Yi people cried in front of Deng's house day and night, and they were in mourning for months. On July 22nd, this newspaper reported in Ningyuan, Xichang: "... When the general died of illness in a private house in Gansu, his entourage included relatives such as Deng Zhangzi Deliang and his daughter (actually adopted daughter), as well as Jingbian Deng, Luo (that is, Rorschach) and Luo Tieha. On his deathbed, Deng's family was still obsessed with the current policy of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Ningshu foreign nationality, especially his family and subordinates, who obeyed the government, were loyal to the country and developed the frontier, which laid the foundation for the permanent rule of Ningshu foreign nationality. His subordinates were so excited that they all said they would carry on Deng's legacy and continue to work hard. "Deng's funeral was held on the 13th of the winter month in the 34th year of the Republic of China (1945). On that day, Gan mourned all over the city, dressed in linen and banners, and carried the coffin for a long time before being buried. Chairman of the Kuomintang, as well as Zhang Qun, Huang Yanpei, Mo Dehui, Deng Xihou, Liu, Zhang, and others, all sent elegiac couplets or tombstone inscriptions, which were carved by calligraphers Chen Zuo and Zhou and embedded in Deng's tomb (according to news reports, Deng's tomb is indeed an official tomb, and outsiders have no way to check its trace). The tomb is solemn and magnificent in shape.
