Once at a time, I was in a village. More than one villagers told me about cannibal stories. It was in Guangxu 3 year, starvation emerged in that area. People ate poor victims. A young woman went to dump waste in the morning. She saw several men stirring a big boiling soup pot, in which, a young dead person was boiled. Another man was gnawing a small twined(women had their feet twined with cloth straps to make their feet as small as possible) foot. The young woman was terrified to half death, and ran back home. She did not dare to go out any more. This young woman was a senior relative of the nextdoor neighborhood of the story tellers. The tell said, there were many same cannibal stories in the village. My friend also heard of same kind of cannibal stories from the village. I guarantee the story is true.
