Narrator: 50 Sun Shu

The people who were born in our time, have lived through the famine years and still remember them. At that time the birth of the child, because the mother does not have enough milk, someone from the market to pick fish offal soup drink milk. Fortunately for the newborn, the government more preferential treatment, can be divided into 2 cents of the dates for children to supplement nutrition.

In the spring of 1964, my grandfather died. At that time he also had some fried heap, fried horns, not willing to throw away, we take out to eat. Now think that eat the dead left something wrong, but at that time the food is very scarce, beggars, which think so much.

Since the 60 's, the state-planned economy, the issue of food stamps. At that time the supply was normal, but the latter often insufficient food, with food stamps to buy grain with some sweet potatoes, corn and other sucks. Each person allocates how much grain, has the fastidious, like Junior middle school student distributes 28 pounds grain each month, the high school student is 30 catties. When I was in high school, I ate 22 rice for breakfast, 42 rice for lunch, dinner for home, 1 pounds a day, and I was not very full at that time. However, you can also use food stamps to redeem cookies, soda and biscuits, but at that time the most senior students party snacks.

Sometimes one meal a day, a sweet potato.

I was born in the 60 's, the childhood food is very tense, often eat not enough. I have seen, some people because of hunger, directly to the temple to steal tribute to eat. My ancestors were small vendors, compared to farmers, then life can be counted, not the poorest. But even so, we rarely have food to eat, often eat sweet potatoes, powder ge, wild vegetables, such as hunger. Sometimes a family can only eat one meal a day, if you have 22 rice every day is already a very good life.

After primary school, life gradually improved, began to eat food, but still very poor. Until the reform and opening-up, the People's Day is much better. There are at least two meals to eat. And now, if you want to eat anything, we people in this age never dreamed that life would be so good. Often see the children are not willing to eat waste food, I feel very sad, hope that the younger generation can cherish the happy life now, cherish the Hard-won food, really understand and experience the "grains are hard" hard-won.
