Ye Hengli is a resident of Zhaixia Village, Pengzhai Town, Heping County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province. During the Great Famine, his wife got caught when stealing potatoes, so the production team did not give her food for two meals, which only made his wife steal other foods. People stole all kinds of things and ate all kinds of things, but people did not eat people. Five people in Ye's family died of starvation: His grandfather went to Hebei's "steaming team" to cure his swelling body, but died soon after he returned. His grandmother was so hungry that she could only stay in bed, and later she died with swollen and yellowish limbs. His father was falsely charged with stealing vats and fined 20 RMB; he went away to find food but never came back. He does not know how exactly his uncle and nephew starved to death.
