Pic story: Deng Xiaoping's interpreter, valuable eyewitness to China's four decades of reform and opening-up

Chen Feng, currently a senior simultaneous interpreter at the United Nations headquarters, is pictured inside the Security Council interpretation booth at the UN headquarters in New York, May 23, 2018. As a member of China's first generation of professionally-trained simultaneous interpreters, he has served as the last English interpreter for Deng Xiaoping, the late Chinese leader widely regarded as the "Chief Architect of China's reform and opening-up." "I'm very fortunate to have been a beneficiary, participant of and witness to China's reform and opening-up policy over the past four decades," said Chen Feng. (Xinhua/Li Muzi)
