Interview with Zhou Maoxiang

One time, Xu Zuqing was tied up by the secretary because of stealing from the field; afraid of being struggled, she escaped but then drowned to death in a resevoir. Besdies, during struggle sessions, poor peasants determined class statuses, and some landlords were burned by red-hot irons.
