Interview with Zhao Jingmei

Zhao Jingmei (b. 1931) is a resident of Liujia Village, Zhuliang Town, Qingzhou City, Shandong Province. Her legs became deformed because of standing in cold water in winter while construcing the blast furnace during the Great Leap Forward. In this interview, she talks about earning work points at that time, a woman whose child froze to death when working in the field, and her daughter stunned by the sun.

赵经梅（1930年生）是山东省青州市朱良镇刘家村村民。大跃进时大炼钢铁，她的腿因为冬天泡在冷水里变形了。在这段口述中，她说起了那时挣工分，村里一个女人的孩子干活时冻死，还有她女儿被太阳晒晕的事。
