THE POOR PEOPLE'S CAVE.

This article focuses on the poor people's cave, in China. This cave is five to six feet high, seven to eight feet wide, and twenty to thirty feet long, had been shared for many generations by several poor families. The occupants of the cave were those who had been reduced to abject poverty because of the exploitation by landlords and rich peasants. Since the liberation, the poor people's cave has been preserved as historical evidence of the exploitation of peasants by the landlord class. It has been completely restored and preserved by the Hsiao-sung Production Brigade of the Kao-ho Commune in Chtang-ch'ih hsien as a tool for the class education of young people. Early on the morning of May 5, 1943, a man of medium stature was helping an old woman along on her way from the temple of the local deity to the poor people's cave in northwestern Hsiao-sung Village. A little over thirty, with an emaciated face, the man carried a broken earthen vessel in his hand and shabby quilt on his shoulder.
