According to the 2009 Issue 01 of the Secretary's Work sponsored by the Secretariat Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, it is recorded in the article "Secretary in My Mind" that in 1952, 20-year-old Wang Ruilin began to serve as Deng Xiaoping's secretary.After the Fourth National Congress, he served as the deputy director of the General Political Department and was still in charge of Deng Xiaoping's secretarial work.In more than 40 years, he has won the high trust of Deng Xiaoping with his loyalty.
The article mentioned that Deng Xiaoping's daughter, Deng Rong, once commented: "Father has always been a man of few words, and he never said much to the staff around him. Although he didn't say much, his inner feelings were extremely rich."Especially for Wang Ruilin, a secretary who has followed him for many years, he has a deep affection.This kind of affection is different from the flesh and blood affection for one's own children, but it is very similar.
