The main subjects of this thesis are as follow. First, in late period of the Cultural Revolution, lack of military background, relatively young, how does Zhao Ziyang climb rapidly on the positions of the Premier and the General Secretary from a local primary official? Its cause and process are worth probing into. Second, in the late period of the Cultural Revolution, the Communist Party of China is devoted to the economic reformation. Zhao Ziyang is in charge of economic affairs while taking on the Premier. The role he acts will also be discussed in this thesis. Third, as Zhao Ziyang serves as the Premier and the General Secretary, he needs Deng Xiaoping''s support. Why they stand the opposite positions at 1989 student strike? It is worth deeply analyzing the changes of interaction between Zhao and Deng. Before becoming the central authorities, Zhao Ziyang''s is a shrewd and capable bureaucrat, who has highly political sensitivity, well capability and constructively cooperating with the central policy. But perhaps limited to the China Communist Party internal political faction culture; Zhao Ziyang, at that time, does not deserve to be called having a political ideal. After becoming the Premier in 1980, Zhao Ziyang carries out the Deng Xiaoping’s will of pursuing economic reformation and opening-up. Meanwhile, he is also limited to ''The Four Insistences'' on politics at the same time. Therefore, the economic reformation is difficult to move on smoothly, the problem caused by the society transition comes one after another. He also bears the responsibility of the goods price reformation failures. When promoted to the General Secretary, even if Zhao Ziyang wants to lend an impetus to political reformation, but without Deng Xiaoping’s fully support, it is not easy. Until the student strike is out of control, Zhao no longer depends on Deng Xiaoping''s will. He adheres to his own faith and that leads to the end of his political career.
