Interview with Li Qiaoying

Li Qiaoying（b.1939) is a resident of Baiyun Village, Fengqing Town, Yunnan Province. In this interview, Li remembers life during the Great Famine. People’s Commune canteen was set up in 1958. 18-year-old Li Qiaoying was sent to different places for Great Collaboration (voluntary labor). At the People's Commune canteen, ten people had ten bowls of rice and shared a pot of vegetable soup each day. Several years were endured in this way.

李侨英1939年出生，是云南省凤庆县白云村的村民。在这段口述中，李老人回忆了伙食团时期的生活。大集体开始于1958年，18岁的李侨英到处调去大协作（义务劳动）。在集体食堂，十个人每天只分吃十碗饭和一盆菜汤。几年的日子这样“硬熬过去”。
