Wu Zhanliang (b. 1939) is a resident of Hegou Village, Shaanxi Province. In this interview, Wu recalls the life during the Great Leap Forward and the Great Famine. The people’s commune and the communal canteen in Hegou Village were established in 1958. The food supply started to become tight in 1959 and the villagers had to eat tree leaves and bark. Life was the most difficult in 1960. Many people from Shanxi fled to Shaanxi. Some even married their daughters off for food, and some accidentally turned their kids crippled because of eating the wrong type of food.
武占亮1939年出生,是陕西省榆林市佳县泥河沟村村民。在这段口述中,武老人回忆了大跃进和大饥荒时的情况。58年成立人民公社和大食堂,59年开始粮食紧张,村民不得不吃树叶、树皮,60年生活最困难,不少山西人逃难到陕西,有的人为了粮食甚至把自己的女儿嫁给别人,或者因为吃坏了东西把儿女都弄成了瘸子。
He Junying (b. 1941) lives at Nihegou Village, Jiaxian, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. He ate at communal canteens during the Great Leap Forward. People put vegetables, beans, bad potatoes, corn and sorghum into a pot and shared the food. People were constantly hungry—He’s son was not feeling well one night and could not go to sleep just because of hunger. He’s family did not have “hukou” (registered permanent residence), which is required for getting food supplies. He was working hard while pregnant and fed her children with soup. One of her children was starved to death. Back then, a group of women with children came into the village and could only be bought as wives to support themselves; when they got stronger, they fled back to their hometowns.
贺俊英(1941年出生)居住于陕西省榆林市佳县泥河沟村。贺老人回忆了1958年大跃进的时候吃大锅饭, 把各种菜、豆子、烂土豆、玉米面、高粱面煮在一起,分着吃。大家都很饿:老人的儿子有天晚上身体不舒服,睡不着,吃了点东西就好了。那时候供应粮要户口,而贺老人家没户口,自己怀着孩子下地干活,用汤水喂孩子们,有一个孩子最终饿死了。那时候,村里来了一批带着孩子的女人,无力求生,只能被卖了当老婆,有力气的时候就自己跑回老家了。
Qing Xiufang (b.1938) is a resident of Liushuigou Village, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. In 1958, food at every household was scraped away and people were required to eat at communal canteens. When the production team had no harvest, people had to starve. Qing pulled a cart to fix roads day and night. People used husk and flour to make steamed buns and ate tree barks. Even in Spring Festival or at someone’s wedding banquets, people barely had anything to ate. They also did not have enough clothes. In winter, women had to do needlework with frozen hands.
秦秀芳(1938年出生)是陕西省榆林市流水沟村村民。1958年的时候,大家吃食堂,家家户户的粮食都被收走,生产队没有收成,大家就得挨饿。 秦老人当年拉架子车修地,日以继夜。 人们那时候用糠加点主粮做糠窝窝吃,吃榆树皮。人们吃这些食物以后便秘,孩子们上厕所流血,只能用棍子掏,疼痛难忍。过年或者结婚请客也没有什么东西吃,衣服也不够穿,女人们还得在天寒地冻中做针线活。
You Yuefang (b. 1940) is a resident of Liushuigou Village, Shanxi Province. In this interview, You recalls the life during the Great Famine. Back then the state even had the monopoly over eggs. Once when You was sick, her husband had to seek the approval from the supply and marketing cooperative for buying two eggs.
尤月芳1940年出生,是陕西省榆林市榆阳区流水沟村村民。在这段口述中,尤老人回忆了大饥荒时的生活。当时连鸡蛋都国家统销,尤老人有次生病,她丈夫要买两个鸡蛋都得经过供销社同意。
