The reform initiated by Deng Xiaoping and carried on by Zhao Ziyang and Jiang Zemin Was Just the Same as Shang Yang's. The cream of their reform is to encourage people to become rich earlier than others. It similarly gave play to people's talents and diligence and thus enabled China to take off. However, reform is very difficult in China. Shang Yang was cruelly killed by conservatives. Mystery of Jiang Zemin Surmounting Conservatives' Fierce Resistance to Reform. Before Tiananmen Protests, reform was doomed. Conservatives brought down the two top reformists Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang. After Tiananmen, conservatives almost put an end to the reform.
