Interview with Huang Shiying

Huang Shiying (b. 1931) is a resident of Zhaixia Village, Pengzhai Town, Heping County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province. After the communization, she did not suffer from hunger because she was a cadre and her husband was the headmaster of the local elementary school. Although it was not allowed to cook at home, Huang’s family got food with food coupons and secretly cooked at home. When people were getting classified, her family was almost considered as landlords because they had three shops and several fields. Her grandfather was often denounced. They managed to get classified as rich peasants later to escape more miseries.

黄石英 (1931年生) 是广东省河源市和平县彭寨镇寨下村村民。公社化的时候，她没有饿到，因为她是个干部，丈夫又是当时的小学校长。虽然当时个人不准开伙，他们家每个月都有粮票领粮，领回来后就偷偷在家里搭个灶做饭。在划成分时，她家在镇上有三家店，又有很多田地，很多人都要把她家划分为地主，她爷爷天天被人拖着批斗。但后来他们努力让家里被划成了富农，幸免于难。
