Yang Zhizhong (b. 1934) is a resident of Huanzidong Village, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. In this interview, Yang talks about his life during and after the Great Famine. Back then Yang's family was at his wife's hometown, Tongliao, Inner Mongolia. Foods were sufficient there, so Yang's family did not starve much. Yang was working on a livestock farm, but in order to make extra money, he hunted wild birds during his spare time.
