Thank you Deepin team for this awsome linux distro. I've been using it for a long time. In fact, I use it as my default OS in my laptop, which I use at home and at work alike. The exquisite beauty of this operating system makes you addicted to it and hard to switch to any other OSes out there. I'm very satisfied with the goodies presented in this os.
The only thing I wanted to know is this: after upgrading from Deepin 15.3 to 15.4 through the comande line, I still see the old kernel v4.4.0 instead of having the latest 4.9.8! How can I upgrade to the latest?
I would be very thankful, if you could help!

Thank you for the replay. I did the same commands earlier this morning. everything was updated except the kernel version which showed 4.4.0.
After I finish work and get back home, I checked again using "uname -a" command to my surprise it showed kernel version4.9.8. I don't really understand what happened, but I'm fairly happy now.
Thank you again Percyc.
