A Life of Hunger

In 1975, Chen Shouyi was publicly humiliated while sharing food. From then on, he understood that honest people can only be bullied. Eight-year-old Chen Jianjun started mowing grass to earn work points. When his younger brother became critically ill from hunger, he knocked on doors throughout the village with an oil lamp. Grandpa said: Even if you are poor, you have to live on your feet. On the day when the land was distributed to each household, Chen Shouyi's hand was shaking when he was doing fingerprints. It took three generations and several decades to carve the words "Stand and Live" into their bones.
