Interview with Li Fuxuan

Li Fuxuan (b. 1935) is a resident of Xugu Village, Kuanzhuang, Fuming County, Kunming, Yunnan Province. Li attended school till third grade and then started to work as an apprentice with his father to learn to flatten out felts. His family was classified as poor peasant and got two acres of land. Li participated in some struggle sessions. Peasants were encouraged to vent out their grievances and beat up the denounced. During the Great Leap Forward, villagers worked every day but they didn't work hard. They could finish the work in a village overnight so the crops were not taken proper care of at all.

李富选（1932年生）是云南省昆明市富民县款庄乡蒣谷村村民。李老人回忆，他读书读到小学三年级以后，便跟着父亲学手艺，擀羊毛。他们家被评为贫农，分得了两亩地。李老人参与了批斗，农民被启发诉苦，然后打被批斗的人。大跃进期间，农民天天干活却都是马虎了事，一夜完成一个村子，庄稼都被搞烂了。
