Interview with Bai Xiuqing

Bai Xiuqing (b. 1923) is a resident of Huanzidong Village, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. In this interview, Bai talks about her experience of feeding the eleven family members during the Great Famine. Bai’s husband was the head cook at the production team, while Bai worked at home cooking and doing needlework. During the collectivization when every household had to hand in their food to the production team, Bai’s family hided some at their place. As a result, they did not suffer too much during the Great Famine.

白秀清1923年出生，是沈阳市法库县獾子洞村村民。在这段口述中，白老人回忆了大饥荒时期照顾家里十一口人吃喝的经历。白老人的丈夫在生产队当伙夫长，老人一个人在家烧饭做针线活。集体化的时候粮食都归生产队，白老人家偷存了点粮食，所以大饥荒时没太饿着。
