My family survived Japanese occupation in Ww2, fought in the Chinese civil war before and after ww2, survived the Cultural Revolution, and the Great Famine. AMA
My great grandfather fought for the CCP against the Kuomintang when he was young, fought the Japanese, and then fought in the Chinese civil war after. He would retire at the end of the war and have 8 children during the peak of the Cultural Revolution in which my grandma would be born in 1948 and experience the entire Great Famine and the horrors of Maoism. I’ve asked my grandmother many questions about her life and I wanted to do this AMA because I wanted to think of more questions to ask her. But I can also a good amount of questions as well. We can also trace our family tree all the way to the 19th century as well so I can answer questions though I’m not sure how much information I can provide about those times.
