The cicadas' shells are used in Chinese medicine. When the shells are used in Chinese medicine, people don't eat them. People just put the shell in water, boil the water and drink the water when the water cools down. Baby cicadas can be eaten, but it is not a common food and is very expensive. People don't eat it raw, they only eat it after it is fried. I have eaten it several times. I like its taste.

Yes, it was called 人民公社.

The famine you mentioned was called 三年自然灾害, from 1959 to 1961. My mother told me that half of the villagers in my village died from hunger.

I learned from my mother that the famine was not caused by low farm production. It was because the lower level officials exaggerated farm production, so they had to transfer almost all grains to the above government. Therefore, many farmers died from the food shortage.

When I was a child, no one died from hunger again, although we didn't have enough food to eat. Anyway, the villagers did have food to eat, just not enough.

Children caught cicadas just for fun. It doesn't matter how many cicadas they caught. Normally, I could catch ten to twenty cicadas a day.

When I was a child, most children went to elementary school, and a few of them went to middle school. Fewer middle school students who performed very well in their academic grades went to a specialized secondary school. Compared with today, children didn't receive a good education.

Nowadays, only old people and children live in the countryside. Most young and middle aged people work in cities to make money. Indeed, some houses are abandoned because part of the villagers have bought apartments in cities.
No problem, feel free to ask me about things that occurred in the countryside.

Good.

Correcting the language when someone is talking about a tragic event i.e. a famine is a strange feeling.
