Interview with Li Xingke

Li Xingke (b.1934) is a resident of Jiaochangba Village, Kuanzhuang, Fuming County, Kunming, Yunnan Province. Li Xingke was born in a poor peasant family and never went to school. He was a production team leader for over a decade. During the period of communal canteens, villagers were drafted to work outside their village and few people were left to work in the field. There was little production as result of this. Li said that Chairman Mao was always right. Nobody died of hunger there, but some got sick because of hunger and died eventually.

李兴科（1934年生）是云南省昆明市富民县款庄乡校场坝村村民。李兴科出身贫农，没上过学，当过十几年的生产队队长。吃集体食堂时期，劳动力被外调，无人生产粮食，所以没有很多东西吃。李老人说毛主席做的事情都是对的。当地没有人饿死，但是有人饿出病来，随后去世。
