No I don't know chinese. I have only screenshotted the text because gore. It is from Michael Berry - A history of pain p.302, it's on library genesis.
It says "killers" "four people" "return blood debt" "people must win"
There is no context whatsoever here. Do you even know that the "protests" were in favor of Deng against the other candidate?
I've seen the picture from different angles it says
他杀死四人 He killed 4 people 杀人犯 Murderer 人民必胜 Victory to the People 还血债 Repay Blood Debt
I can't challenge the translation and if context is needed I can only speculate what it could be (the "rumors" you chastised the author for using?), which is no good for either of us.
I'm new to this, all I know about Deng's involvement is his orders to the army. I've also already had like 3 long articles pointed at me, I'll probably work on those before whatever youre trying to point out now.

couldn't find the page, but this article has some good stuff.
iirc deng was not in power yet and there was an upcoming election between him and a CIA funded opponent. The protestors were actually in favor of Deng, I think, which makes sense if you think about it. Glad I could help you look for more. I think dessalines had a github page with some links, I'm looking for it now.
