Interview with Wang Jisheng

Wang Jisheng (b. 1930) is a resident of Wangjiayan Village, Baiyun Town, Shimen County, Hunan Province. Wang was the communist party leader of the party, so he did not suffer from hunger. In this interview, Wang recalls how village leaders implemented the superior leadership’s orders strictly, such as forcing the villagers to work in the field before dawn, digging the dead bodies of villagers’ ancestors out of tombs, and so on.
