Interview with Zheng Yuping

Zheng Yuping (b.1948) is a resident of Zoujia Village, Shangdian Town, Binzhou City, Shandong Province. In this interview, Zheng remembers life during the Great Famine. At that time, she went begging in other villages with her mother and younger brother who almost starved to death. One time, the villagers mistakenly accused her father of stealing sweet potato, tied him up and denounced him in a struggle session. Her father even thought of committing suicide because of the false accusation.
