Deng Xiaoping Quotes
To get rich is glorious.
Context
Likely misattributed. The phrase was popularized by the writer Orville Schell in "To Get Rich Is Glorious: China in the '80s" (1984) but Schell never actually attributed the words to Deng, telling the L.A. Times's Evelyn Iritani in 2004 that it merely "grew out of the zeitgeist" of China's economic reforms.
