Interview with Wang Xiuqin

Wang Xiuqin (b. 1936) was born in Zoujia Village, Shangdian Town, Binzhou City, Shandong Province. During the Great Famine, Wang and her husband were working in a nearby town named Zhangjiadian, where they survived the hardest time. She says that she does not know the reason for the famine. She only heard that their team leader's superiors refused to give out food, and that there was grain in the barns but it was not for villagers.

王秀芹1936年出生于山东省滨州市阳信县商店镇邹家村。大饥荒期间，王秀芹和她的丈夫在附近一个叫张家店的镇子干活，熬过了最困难的时候。她说她不清楚饥荒的原因，只听说上级不发给队长粮食，以及仓库里面有粮食，但不能发给村里人。
