Interview with Zheng Lanfen

Zheng Lanfen (b. 1942) is a resident of Yangjiazhuang Village, Hebei Province. In this interview, Zheng talks about the life during the Great Famine when she was working at the production team. The food given by the production team was far from enough: everyone could only get two jins of wheat when wheat was harvested and then some other grains in the Fall. People had to find wild herbs for extra sustenance and most kids suffered from malnutrition.
