Lu Jiwen | 卢记文, 2010

Scope and content:

Lu Jiwen (b. 1945) moved to Shaziying Village, Yang Town, Shunyi District, Beijing in 1961 when his parents who were intellectuals but received mistreatment were sent to the countryside for reeducation. In this interview, Lu talks about the life before and after Cultural Revolution. Because most of the work points they earned by working at the production team were used to treat his mom's heart disease, they led a very poor life. His dad passed away when the Four Cleanups Movement just started and his reputation was not rehabilitated until when Cultural Revolution ended. When his mom passed away in 1966 and his four elder sisters all left home because of work or school, he and his younger brother were the only ones left at home and had to support themselves by working at the production team. The transcript of this interview has been translated into English.
