如果用一句话来概括：那就是胡耀邦施政的核心是为国为民，而邓小平施政的核心是保权保党。
If we summarize it in one sentence, it is that the core of Hu Yaobang’s governance is to serve the country and the people, while Deng Xiaoping’s opinion is to protect power and safeguarding the Party.
the basic and most important part of something
The lack of government funding is at the core of the problem.
胡耀邦的儿子胡德华曾经说过：“我的父亲和邓小平之间的区别是：邓小平要拯救党，我的父亲想救的是人，普通的老百姓。”
Hu Yaobang’s son, Hu Dehua, once said, “The difference between my father and Deng Xiaoping is that Deng Xiaoping wanted to save the Party, my father wanted to save people, ordinary people.”
正因为如此啊，邓小平经常会体现出两面人的特点:每当他感到改革开放威胁到党的领导地位的时候， 他就会站出来大讲“反对资产阶级自由化”；而每当他认为改革开放遇到障碍
推不下去的时候，他又会站出来大声疾呼“不改革就是死路一条”。
Because of this, Deng Xiaoping often embodied the characteristics of a two-faced man: whenever he felt that reform and opening up threatened the leadership of the Party, he would come out and preach “against bourgeois liberalization”; and whenever he thought that reform and opening up had encountered obstacles and could not be pushed through, he would come out and shout loudly, “Failure to reform is a dead end”.
所以归根结底，邓小平要求的改革是要保住大清皇权永固的洋务运动——他和胡耀邦推行的全面改革出发点是完全不同的
Overall, reform made by Deng Xiaoping is like Self-Strengthening Movement to protect “Qing imperial power” which is completely different from Hu Yaobang’s starting point of comprehensive reform that Hu Yaobang pushed for.
So in the final analysis, the reform that Deng Xiaoping demanded was the foreign affairs movement that would preserve the imperial power of the Qing dynasty for eternity - the starting point of the comprehensive reforms that he and Hu Yaobang pushed for was completely different.
