Abstract：From May 1948 to May 1949, Deng Zihui, already in his 50 s, was appointed as the third secretary of the Central Plains Bureau, deputy political commissar of the Central Plains military region and director of the Financial and Economic Office of the Central Plains District, moving from East China to Central Plains. In just one year, Deng Zihui made great efforts to develop production, consolidate the rear and support the front line of Huai-hai. He also rectified the finance, set up institutions and trained financial and economic cadres. He took over the cities, reformed the trade unions and united the working class. He organized the peasant movement, stabilized the land reform, and mobilized the majority of farmers. What he had done not only laid a solid material foundation for the final victory of the Huai-hai Campaign, but also made Central Plains a forward base for the liberation army to go south and providing a continual supply of materials for the liberation of China.
