Interview with Xiong Jiahong

Xiong Jiahong (b. 1937) is a resident of Jiaochangba Village, Kuanzhuang, Fuming County, Kunming, Yunnan Province. Xiong was born in a poor peasant family and was a production team leader for a few years. During the Great Leap Forward, Xiong worked every day with his fellow villagers but they didn't have enough to eat. He complained about to some cadres but was accused of being 'reactionary' by cadres. Xiong's wife Yang Shizhen came from a landlord family in a nearby village. Xiong was too poor to afford betrothal gifts, so he married this landlord's daughter who didn't ask for any betrothal gifts.
