• This courtyard, built especially for the collection of rent, is surrounded by a hundred-meter long corridor in which stands the clay figures. Hungry peasants had to use the back door to pay rent."

"Under the cold gaze of the landlord’s stooge, the poverty-stricken peasants trudge into the courtyard carrying the grains they have toiled so bitterly for”

Page 22: 20th century china

The trick winnower has reduced two full baskets of grain to one. With heavy hearts mother and daughter drag it to be measured.

Page 23: 20th century china

Even a tottering, sick man has to drag in his rent on time

Page 24: 20th century china

"Liu orders the village chief and a policeman to ransack the homes of peasants and pressgang them if they cannot pay their rent. Another family is broken up as the father is dragged away and the mother is knocked to the ground."

Page 25: 20th century china

"With their carrying-poles they will smash the system of exploitation to bits

Kuomintang soldier and a secret society henchman lay hands on the old peasant’s son as he rushed up to argue with the landlord Liu

Page 26: 20th century china

'This is good grain!' Cries the old peasant

Only by thoroughly demolishing the man-eating system can the working people be emancipated
