Interview with Li Guofen

Li Guofen (b. 1945) was born in Baiyun Village, Fengqing Town, Yunnan Province. She is the interviewer’s maternal grandmother. In this interview, Li recalls the food people ate during the several years of People’s Commune canteen. Because her family had more children and elderly to support, life was very difficult. The few animals raised at home died mostly. Dead cows could not be eaten, they would be taken away and buried by the Production Team.

李国芬1945年出生于云南省凤庆县白云村 。她是采访者的外婆。在这段口述中，李老人回忆了伙食团那几年大集体吃的食物。因为家里小孩老人多，劳动力少，生活很是艰苦。牲口养的虽多，死的也快。死牛不能吃，还会被生产队拖走埋起来。
