I have found that selecting failsafe mode at the grub boot screen let's me boot to a live session.
The only issue is that the session boots to 1024x768 resolution.

Why is their no live session promoted by Deepin?
How can I get this failsafe to boot to 1920x1080 resolution?
The easy availability of a live session would attract a lot more users to try Deepin, in my opinion...

NO,Deepin installer boot from the  parameter (livecd-installer).you could change or delete it so that live session would be show.
when you see grub2 menu while booting, you could use "e" to edit item, then use "F10" to boot.
======================================
grub2 menu——\boot\grub\grub.cfg

menuentry "Install Deepin" {
        set gfxpayload=keep
        linux        /live/vmlinuz.efi boot=live union=overlay livecd-installer locale=zh_CN quiet splash --
        initrd        /live/initrd.lz
}



when you see syslinux menu while booting, you could use "TAB" to edit item, then use "Enter" to boot.
======================================
syslinux——\isolinux\live.cfg

label live
        menu label ^Install Deepin
        menu default
        linux /live/vmlinuz
        initrd /live/initrd.lz
        append boot=live components quiet splash union=overlay livecd-installer locales=zh_CN.UTF-8


Ignore my poor English.

Thank you for the info and the gif.
Removing livecd-installer and changing locale to en_GB.UTF-8 in boot line works for me.
Live session resolution correct for me at 1920x1080.

Why not have a menu in 15.5;

Try Deepin
Install Deepin
Deepin failsafe
