Liu's Manor Museum in Dayi County

This guide to Liu's Manor Museum in Dayi County, near Chengdu, opens with Leng Yueying's testimony that landlord Liu Wencai once locked her in a flooded underground chamber here for seven days after she gave birth, a story that toured the nation and became the museum's centerpiece after it opened in 1959. It follows the decades-later investigation that combed through documents and interviews looking for anyone who could confirm what happened in that pit. You'll also hear the quieter, competing account of Liu Wencai as the man who funded the county's dams and irrigation.
