Hu Jinlian | 胡金莲, 2010

Scope and content:

Hu Jinlian (b.1938) is a resident of Songlin Village, Xupu County, Hunan Province. In this interview, Hu recalls experiences during the Great Famine. The family of nine only had two labor forces, so sometimes they could not finish the assigned tasks, getting no grains to eat. One time, the warehouse of the Production Team divided public grains secretly. Hu was sent to work elsewhere then and did not get anything; she was so irritated that she reported their activity.

胡金莲1938年出生,是湖南省溆浦县北斗溪乡松林村的村民。在这段口述中,胡老人回忆了大饥荒期间的经历。一家九口人只有两个劳动力,分配的任务有时做不完,粮食没得吃。队里的仓库还曾经把公粮偷分了。当时被调去外面的胡金莲因为没分到感到很气愤,在开会时告发了分粮食的人。
