Guo Deping was born in 1966, during the time of the Cultural Revolution in China. He and his six siblings grew up living in a cave – which was not unusual in Henan Province at that time. Cave dwellings had been popular places to live for centuries – cosy, well insulated, and sometimes even luxurious. We visit some people who still live in caves today. Guo describes his family’s struggles to survive during a period when millions were dying of starvation, and speaks very movingly about his love for his parents, and the suffering they endured.
