Interview with Dong Cuimei

Dong Cuimei (b. 1942) is a resident of Xugu Village, Kuanzhuang, Fuming County, Kunming, Yunnan Province. During the period of communal canteens, she was 12 years old and didn't starve. She recollects people wearing coarse clothing, self-made shoes and living in thatched cottages. During the Cultural Revolution, because their village was relatively remote, life wasn't much affected there.

董翠美（1942年生）是云南省昆明市富民县款庄乡蒣谷村村民。公社食堂期间，她十二岁，没有挨饿。她回忆了当时人们穿粗布衣，自己缝制鞋子，住茅草房。文革期间，他们村由于比较偏远，没有受到太大影响。
