Interview with Tao Zaohua

Tan Zaohua (b. 1930), who is the husband of another interviewee, Zhou Jianying, is a resident of Changxing Village, Gaolong Town, Chaling County, Hunan Province. In this interview, Tan recounts in detail how he escaped to Jinggang Mountain of Jiangxi Province with 11 fellow villagers in 1960, because of the limited food supplies and unfair allocation by the local leaders. In Jinggang Mountain they participated in moving cedar and building roads, and received more food. Two months later, leaders from Hunan Province went to Jinggang Mountain, found them and brought them back home.

谭造华（1930年生）是湖南省茶陵县高陇镇长兴村村民，是另一位受访人周俭英的丈夫。在这段口述中，谭老人详细讲述了自己1960年和其他11位同乡一起逃去江西井冈山地区的经历。谭老人回忆出逃的起因是当地食物匮乏而且干部分配不均；他们到了井冈山以后参加当地建设——背杉树、修马路，伙食比在湖南老家够吃；两个多月后老家的干部去井冈山把他们找了回来。
