Scope and content:

Li Xingke (b.1934) is a resident of Jiaochangba Village, Kuanzhuang, Fuming County, Kunming, Yunnan Province. Li Xingke was born in a poor peasant family and never went to school. He was a production team leader for over a decade. During the period of communal canteens, villagers were drafted to work outside their village and few people were left to work in the field. There was little production as result of this. Li said that Chairman Mao was always right. Nobody died of hunger there, but some got sick because of hunger and died eventually. The transcript of this interview has been translated into English.
