Interview with Zhou Chengshun

Zhou Chengshun (b. 1940) is a resident of Jimingqiao Village, Baiyun Town, Shimen County, Hunan Province. During the Great Famine Zhou did not suffer from hunger thanks to his position as the director of the people’s commune canteen. In his memory, no villager died of starvation in their canteen. Zhou also recalls that slogans were written on some young women’s breasts to mobilize the workers at the construction site of Heping Reservoir in 1959.

周成顺（1940年生）是湖南省石门县白云乡鸡鸣桥村村民。大饥荒时期周老人是当地食堂事务员，是不会挨饿的一类人，所以他的回忆中并没有饿死人的个例。不过他分享了一个大跃进时期的故事：1959年搞和平水库时，有年轻女性被的乳房上被写上口号给众人做宣传。
