[4] “In a remote mountain village in Disanpu, there was a family with five or six children, and the parents were at a loss over how they could all survive. When the situation became desperate, the mother tossed one six- or seven-year-old girl into the underbrush...It seemed that fate had something else in store for her, however, for the girl managed to scavenge enough to eat from the wild plants around her, and she survived. Now she herself is a mother, and you have to wonder how she feels when she looks back on that time! There was another mother who cooked and ate her young daughter. When the elder daughter realized what was going on, she pulled at her mother’s jacket and begged her, ‘Mama, please don’t eat me! When I grow up, I’ll look after you!’
“Bai Shangwen, who had served as Tongwei County’s deputy county head, lost his mother to starvation, and Yan Yuxiang, who had served as chairman of the County People’s Congress, lost six family members. An elderly man in Zhaojashan who was a production brigade cadre at the time recalls, ‘More than half of the people in the village had died, but the production team storehouse still held a few dozen kilos of oil dregs and a few dozen kilos of grain, and none of it was distributed to the commune members.’ When the head of the provincial party committee work group, Wang Bingxiang, came to the village to investigate the situation, he asked, ‘There was nothing we could say in reply, but in our hearts we understood: Who would dare to eat it? In any case, there wasn’t enough to save us all.”’
