Interview with Yin Tingxiang

Yin Tingxiang (b. 1942) is a resident of Huanzidong Village, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. In this interview, Yin recalls the life during the Great Famine. Many people were starving to death and the dead bodies were stacked up on the streets. Yin was still at school during that time. However, because of the famine, they did not have any class but all went out to dig wild herbs and tree barks for extra sustenance. Many people fled to Jilin and Heilongjiang Province because there were more foods there.
