Xiong Yun (b. 1940) is a resident of Xiaobaipo Village, Kuanzhuang, Fuming County, Kunming, Yunnan Province. During the period of communal canteens, Xiong was a teenager. Many people were slowly starved to death. Thus, a 'nutrition canteen' was set up to amass sick people and serve a little bit more rice. Later when individual families could keep pigs, people had to hand in their pork and offer a pig tail as evidence. Xiong was a teacher in a non-public school in the village and was paid poorly. The transcript of this interview has been translated into English.

熊云（1940年生）是云南省昆明市富民县款庄乡小白坡村村民。公社食堂时期，熊老人才十几岁。当时很多人慢慢饿死，于是当地办了'营养食堂'，把身体差的人聚集起来多给他们一点米。每家可以养猪以后，杀猪必须上交，并拿猪尾巴证明。他在村里当民办教师，待遇很差。
