Back then, she was at home feeding her child when the villagers of Shitou Village tied her up, took her to an open space in the center of the village, and pushed her onto a high platform.
Facing the dark mass of villagers below, she wore a large wooden sign around her neck with her name written on it, marked with a big red cross.
A group of people listed her crimes, trampling her dignity into the ground.
Just because she was born into a capitalist family, she suffered unprecedented humiliation, being paraded through the village with a wooden sign hanging over her head, receiving vegetable leaves and stones thrown by the villagers.
