WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.890 --> 00:00:06.970 align:center line:-1Interviewer: Thank you for accepting my interview. 2 00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:08.000 align:center line:-1 You’re welcome. 3 00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:13.070 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Were you born in the 1940s, ‘50s, or ‘60s? 4 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.130 align:center line:-1 I was born in the ‘50s. 5 00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:20.780 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Where were you living in China between 1966 and 1976? 6 00:00:20.790 --> 00:00:25.510 align:center line:-1 I lived in Jing County of Hebei Province. 7 00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:29.760 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Is it a town or a rural area? 8 00:00:29.770 --> 00:00:31.500 align:center line:-1 It’s a rural area. 9 00:00:31.510 --> 00:00:38.280 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: I see. You were about ten years old at that time – anyway, old enough to remember things that happened. 10 00:00:38.290 --> 00:00:40.230 align:center line:-1 Yes, I remember things. 11 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:50.170 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: If we give you about ten minutes, could you tell us about the things you remember? 12 00:00:50.180 --> 00:00:53.420 align:center line:-1 I will try my best. 13 00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:57.860 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Sure, give it a try. Go ahead. 14 00:00:57.870 --> 00:01:02.810 align:center line:-1 The first time I heard of Culture Revolution, 15 00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:09.540 align:center line:-1 grown-ups were talking about the "rough outline" and "fine outline". I did not understand. 16 00:01:09.550 --> 00:01:22.940 align:center line:-1 Later, when the Cultural Revolution started, China split into two-party struggle, right? 17 00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:25.900 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: I've heard of that – two-party [struggle]. 18 00:01:25.910 --> 00:01:31.990 align:center line:-1 In my neighborhood, I think there was one party called the “Red Union,” 19 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:33.560 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Oh, "Red Union." 20 00:01:33.570 --> 00:01:42.460 align:center line:-1 -and its counterpart was called “520” – probably because it was founded on May 12th [20th]. 21 00:01:42.470 --> 00:01:44.720 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Ah, 520. 22 00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:58.800 align:center line:-1 Right. Because I was young, the saddest thing in my mind was my failure to become a Little Red Guard. 23 00:01:58.810 --> 00:01:59.990 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Why did you fail to be a Little Red Guard? 24 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.760 align:center line:-1 Because our family were "middle peasants". 25 00:02:02.770 --> 00:02:05.430 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Oh, a social status problem. 26 00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:13.630 align:center line:-1 Right. Children of “poor and lower-middle peasants” and “farmworkers” got priority in becoming Little Red Guards. 27 00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:19.110 align:center line:-1 I thought I genuinely loved Chairman Mao, and often yelled out the slogan “Long live Chairman Mao.” 28 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.970 align:center line:-1 At the time I really regretted not being a Little Red Guard. 29 00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:30.450 align:center line:-1 I cried every time I saw others wearing the red armband. 30 00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:34.390 align:center line:-1 Why did I cry? Because I didn't get to be a Little Red Guard. 31 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.600 align:center line:-1 Later I thought, forget it, one day I will have the chance to be a Red Guard. 32 00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:50.340 align:center line:-1 However, only middle school students could be Red Guards. 33 00:02:50.350 --> 00:02:52.470 align:center line:-1 I failed to go to middle school. 34 00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:56.210 align:center line:-1 I only had schooling for four years and three months, before I dropped out. 35 00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:59.220 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Why did you drop out? Was it for this same reason [being a child of “middle peasants”]? 36 00:02:59.230 --> 00:03:04.860 align:center line:-1 No. I could go to school in our village from first through fourth grade. 37 00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:09.600 align:center line:-1 But after that, I had to go to another village for school. 38 00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:16.870 align:center line:-1 If I went, my family’s pigs and sheep would have no one to feed them. 39 00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:23.430 align:center line:-1 I was always in charge of cutting grass to feed to the pigs and sheep. 40 00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:27.940 align:center line:-1 As a result, I only managed to do three months [of grade 5] 41 00:03:27.950 --> 00:03:29.540 align:center line:-1 before my parents kept me from continuing. 42 00:03:29.550 --> 00:03:31.050 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Your family didn’t support you going to school? 43 00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:39.280 align:center line:-1 Right. I needed to stay at home, cutting grass, feeding pigs and sheep, 44 00:03:39.290 --> 00:03:42.490 align:center line:-1 and cooking. I did all the housework. 45 00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.710 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: How many brothers and sisters do you have? 46 00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:51.210 align:center line:-1 I have four older brothers. I am the only girl. 47 00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:52.800 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: There's just one girl? 48 00:03:52.810 --> 00:04:01.810 align:center line:-1 Right. Among the four older brothers, only my third brother continued going to school. 49 00:04:01.820 --> 00:04:03.430 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: They all worked? 50 00:04:03.440 --> 00:04:09.660 align:center line:-1 Yes. My third brother was very good at school; his grades were the best in the whole county. 51 00:04:09.670 --> 00:04:15.770 align:center line:-1 In order for him to continue going to school, the other brothers all stayed at home to work, just like me. 52 00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:24.750 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Did your family own the pigs and sheep? 53 00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:39.790 align:center line:-1 [Yes.] We also had chickens. One pig, one sheep, and a few chickens—they were our “family bank.” 54 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.310 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: So they were your family’s alone—they didn’t belong to the production team? 55 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:50.260 align:center line:-1 No, they didn’t. Selling them each year before Lunar New Year meant money. 56 00:04:50.270 --> 00:04:56.400 align:center line:-1 At that time, working at the production team only earned “work points” and some food, not money, 57 00:04:56.410 --> 00:04:59.810 align:center line:-1 because people were poor back then. Work points were as good as money to them. 58 00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:10.630 align:center line:-1 Another thing I remember well was working in the farmland every day after I turned 11. 59 00:05:10.640 --> 00:05:18.770 align:center line:-1 I thought it was fun. Every day I held the red flag and went to the farmland to work. 60 00:05:18.780 --> 00:05:20.850 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Oh, carried a red flag? 61 00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:25.420 align:center line:-1 Yes! The militia company leader held a red flag. 62 00:05:25.430 --> 00:05:31.270 align:center line:-1 We did not have the right to hold red flags, because we were “middle peasants.” 63 00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:36.560 align:center line:-1 The militia company leader or the political instructor held the red flag when heading to work in the fields. 64 00:05:36.570 --> 00:05:40.060 align:center line:-1 After arriving in the fields, we stuck the red flags in the ground, 65 00:05:40.070 --> 00:05:45.420 align:center line:-1 and everyone stood together and sang “The East is Red" -- 66 00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:47.110 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: You all sang "The East is Red". 67 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.770 align:center line:-1 We all sang "The East is Red," 68 00:05:50.780 --> 00:05:53.100 align:center line:-1 and then said, “Long live Chairman Mao; good health to Vice Chairman Lin!” 69 00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:55.770 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Your memories are so clear! 70 00:05:55.780 --> 00:06:00.610 align:center line:-1 Yes. After we finished farm work [for the day], 71 00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:03.330 align:center line:-1 we would sing “Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman” together. 72 00:06:03.340 --> 00:06:05.500 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: That was the song for finishing work. 73 00:06:05.510 --> 00:06:11.950 align:center line:-1 Right. We finally went home, and [we] had to gather firewood, make a fire, cook dinner – 74 00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:14.250 align:center line:-1 but we still couldn't eat just yet. 75 00:06:14.260 --> 00:06:19.510 align:center line:-1 Before we ate, we stood and bowed three times in front of Chairman Mao’s portrait, 76 00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:26.540 align:center line:-1 [and said], “Great Leader Chairman Mao, it is you who gives us happy lives and food to eat. 77 00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:29.080 align:center line:-1 Many thanks to our Great Leader Chairman Mao.” 78 00:06:29.090 --> 00:06:31.070 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Who led you to do this? 79 00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:32.910 align:center line:-1 My mom. 80 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.210 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Did your mom lead a group of people in doing this? 81 00:06:36.220 --> 00:06:39.490 align:center line:-1 [Yes.] If we didn’t do this, and we were seen by the neighbors, 82 00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:43.380 align:center line:-1 the next day we’d be the ones being struggled against. 83 00:06:43.390 --> 00:06:46.570 align:center line:-1 Rural villagers like carrying their supper dishes, 84 00:06:46.580 --> 00:06:50.950 align:center line:-1 eating dinner while they go from house to house visiting each other. 85 00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:55.720 align:center line:-1 If [other villagers] saw [we] did not acknowledge Chairman Mao [before meals], 86 00:06:55.730 --> 00:06:59.360 align:center line:-1 it would be a huge problem. 87 00:06:59.370 --> 00:07:03.310 align:center line:-1 The next day we would have been struggled against in the “cow shed.” 88 00:07:03.320 --> 00:07:09.120 align:center line:-1 At that time, the production team was too poor to have its own office. 89 00:07:09.130 --> 00:07:12.480 align:center line:-1 Collective activities were all held in “cow sheds.” 90 00:07:12.490 --> 00:07:17.580 align:center line:-1 Every night after dinner, when the bell tolled, 91 00:07:17.590 --> 00:07:21.030 align:center line:-1 every one needed to go to the "cow shed" for a meeting. 92 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:27.180 align:center line:-1 Someone – I'm not sure if it was the team leader or the secretary -- 93 00:07:27.190 --> 00:07:30.690 align:center line:-1 read newspapers out loud. 94 00:07:30.700 --> 00:07:36.540 align:center line:-1 Then, the struggle started against the landlords and the rich peasants, 95 00:07:36.550 --> 00:07:46.560 align:center line:-1 the so-called "five black categories," in the village, one after another. 96 00:07:46.570 --> 00:07:49.370 align:center line:-1 Some landlords were even beaten. 97 00:07:49.380 --> 00:07:53.090 align:center line:-1 I saw adults beat them and wondered, “Why are you beating them? 98 00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:59.780 align:center line:-1 They look really nice.” But I didn’t dare speak up. 99 00:07:59.790 --> 00:08:05.290 align:center line:-1 There was one time that I was almost involved. 100 00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:11.480 align:center line:-1 There was an old woman in my neighborhood, a wealthy peasant. 101 00:08:11.490 --> 00:08:20.900 align:center line:-1 She had a good relationship with our family, even during the Cultural Revolution period. 102 00:08:20.910 --> 00:08:24.240 align:center line:-1 The old woman was illiterate. 103 00:08:24.250 --> 00:08:30.060 align:center line:-1 Although I had only a four-year-and-three-month education, 104 00:08:30.070 --> 00:08:33.350 align:center line:-1 I was one of the most highly-educated people in our village. 105 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:40.800 align:center line:-1 During struggle meetings, the person struggled against had to wear a pointed paper hat, 106 00:08:40.810 --> 00:08:54.360 align:center line:-1 which was made of dry straw and paste and had insulting things written on it, 107 00:08:54.370 --> 00:09:04.810 align:center line:-1 such as “I was a landlady; I was...; etc.” 108 00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:08.270 align:center line:-1 The old woman did not know how to write, so she let me help her. 109 00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:10.040 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Oh, she had you write it. 110 00:09:10.050 --> 00:09:16.530 align:center line:-1 [Yes.] After I had written, I stuck the hat together. I remember this so well. 111 00:09:16.540 --> 00:09:25.210 align:center line:-1 I helped her be struggled against by making this hat. 112 00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:34.900 align:center line:-1 The paper hat that I made for her was the most technically-demanding thing I did [in those years of the Cultural Revolution]. 113 00:09:34.910 --> 00:09:45.640 align:center line:-1 After I turned 16, I thought I could be a militia woman. 114 00:09:45.650 --> 00:09:49.990 align:center line:-1 Back then there were a lot of movies about militia women. Chairman Mao said [in a poem], 115 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:57.080 align:center line:-1 “Valiant and heroic in bearing, with rifles five-foot long / They stand on the parade ground bathed in the morning glow / 116 00:09:57.090 --> 00:10:02.010 align:center line:-1 In China how unique and lofty are the ideals of the young / Who love battle array instead of gay attire in show” [Gu, 2010]. 117 00:10:02.020 --> 00:10:05.520 align:center line:-1 I thought I could finally be a militia member. 118 00:10:05.530 --> 00:10:10.470 align:center line:-1 I hadn't been able to be a Red Guard, but I could join the militia. 119 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:15.710 align:center line:-1 However, I was not distributed a gun, due to my social status as a “middle peasant” child. 120 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.120 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Again, it was a social status problem. 121 00:10:18.130 --> 00:10:20.280 align:center line:-1 Right. I was still a “middle peasant.” 122 00:10:20.290 --> 00:10:24.610 align:center line:-1 Only children from “poor and lower-middle peasant” families could be given guns to protect Chairman Mao. 123 00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:26.540 align:center line:-1 Interviewer: Were they real guns? 124 00:10:26.550 --> 00:10:29.590 align:center line:-1 Yes, real guns. 125 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.690 align:center line:-1 Everybody else got bullets, and got to lie on the ground and shoot targets. 126 00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:38.440 align:center line:-1 I didn’t get to touch the guns. 127 00:10:38.450 --> 00:10:44.780 align:center line:-1 Feeling disappointed, I went back home and asked my parents, 128 00:10:44.790 --> 00:10:47.120 align:center line:-1 “Why are you ‘middle peasants’?!” 129 00:10:47.130 --> 00:10:55.400 align:center line:-1 My mom said, “Being a “middle peasant” has already been good for you. 130 00:10:55.410 --> 00:10:56.950 align:center line:-1 We could have been a landlord family.” 131 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.090 align:center line:-1 So I asked her, “Why would we have been a landlord family?” 132 00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:06.520 align:center line:-1 She told me, “Back when your grandmother was trying to marry off your aunt, 133 00:11:06.530 --> 00:11:10.390 align:center line:-1 a bandit had a crush on your aunt and stole her away. 134 00:11:10.400 --> 00:11:13.640 align:center line:-1 He robbed our family of everything we had. 135 00:11:13.650 --> 00:11:15.530 align:center line:-1 If he hadn’t stolen everything, 136 00:11:15.540 --> 00:11:18.340 align:center line:-1 and if we hadn’t had to sell off our houses and land [because of it], 137 00:11:18.350 --> 00:11:20.920 align:center line:-1 we would have been a wealthy peasant family!” 138 00:11:20.930 --> 00:11:29.580 align:center line:-1 After that, I was not so upset.
