Interview with Zhen Zhongyun

Zhen Zhongyun said that in 1958 during the Great Leap Forward movement, people at her village melted their cooking pans to make iron and claimed successful after geting some metal balls, which was nothing but a failure. She and other villagers looked for kaolin clay and wild vegetables as food. She married into this village in 1962 as her mother wanted her to escape the terrible situation at her own village. Luckily her mother in law was very nice to her.

镇仲云62年就嫁到这个村子是为了逃生。她说58年大炼钢铁时，熔化了铁锅等化成了几个铁疙瘩的东西，就说炼铁成功, 是骗人。她去挖观音土挖野菜充饥。她婆婆对她很好。
