Interview with Wang Qin

Wang Qin (b.1920) is a resident of Poyang Village, Linying County, Luohe City, Henan Province.During the Land Reform Movement, Wang’s family was classified as rich peasant. She suffered through eating at eating halls and Cultural Revolution, but could not remember their details due to her age. Her son remembers that, in 1958, he was only two or three years old, and he was so hungry that he could not walk. He picked up cow dungs on the road and searched for wheat in them. Wang’s son also says that many local people went to work on the reservoir and many were starved to death there.

王亲（1920年生）是漯河市临颍县大郭乡坡杨村村民。王老人土改的时候自己家被划为富农， 吃食堂和文革都遭罪，但因为自己岁数太大，都记不清楚了。她的儿子记得1958年的时候，自己才两三、岁，他饿得走不动路，在路上捡牛粪，掰开，挑里面的麦粒吃。王老人的儿子还说了他们乡很多人去挖水库，不少饿死在那边。
