Interview with Ye Yinying

Ye Yinying (b.1933) is a resident of Zhaixia Village, Pengzhai Town, Heping County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province. Ye recollects that many people would hope someone would die and have a funeral, so that they could go and help to have some food in return. When Gaolang’s father passed away, Ye’s husband went to offer a hand, but Gaolang’s mother hid all the food to save it for her children. When people helped carrying the coffin and did not get food, they would complain.

叶银英(1933年生) 是广东省河源市和平县彭寨镇寨下村村民。叶老人回忆说，当时很多人盼着有人去世、办丧事，这样如果去帮忙的话可以吃点东西。 当时高浪的父亲去世，她丈夫去帮忙，高浪母亲却把粥藏起来不给帮忙的人吃，给孩子们吃。抬棺材的人出了力却没东西吃，就会有些怨气。
