Biography

Born Pu Qiongying (simplified Chinese: 浦琼英; traditional Chinese: 浦瓊英; pinyin: Pǔ Qióngyīng) in Xuanwei, Yunnan province, she was the daughter of an industrialist who manufactured Yunnan ham.[2] She attended Peking University, then moved to the Chinese Communist Party base in Yan'an, changed her name to Zhuo Lin, and then joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1938.[2] In 1939 she married Deng in front of Mao Zedong's cave dwelling in Yan'an. They had five children - three daughters (Deng Lin, Deng Nan, Deng Rong) and two sons (Deng Pufang, Deng Zhifang). She died on July 29, 2009, aged 93, in Beijing.
