Scope and content:

Gu Ming (b. 1943) was born in Gaojia Village, Fumin County, Kunmin City, Yunnan Province. In this interview, Gu recalls his experiences during the Great Famine. In 1958, he worked at the reservoir, and once worked continuously for ten days and night. People ate very well when People's Commune canteen first began, but that did not last long. Because his brother was the head of the canteen, Gu did not starve as much as others did. The transcript of this interview has been translated into English.
