Interview with Wang Guirong

Wang Guirong was born in 1953. She remembered that the situation was the worst in 1958 and 1959. Because of the help of a co-worker, her mother could get a few jins of brown rice each week. They cooked the rice at night in secret so no one died in her family, but peole died of starvation in her village. She stopped schooling at age 13 and began working at the construction sites of reservoirs.

王桂荣1953年生，她记得58，59年饥荒最厉害，因为有帮助，她妈妈每个星期能搞几斤糙米回来，夜里就偷偷的煮了，家里没饿死人。她13岁辍学开始做民工，修水库。
