The Great Famine in Henan generally refers to one of the famines that occurred in China during the Japanese invasion of China from July 1942 to the spring of 1943. The famine also included Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, and Anhui. After the severe drought was quelled, there was a locust plague, and because Henan was at the front line, there were subordinate concealments, policy mistakes, traffic jams and other reasons, resulting in 96 of Henan's 111 counties being affected, of which 39 counties were seriously affected, and the total number of people affected was 12 million. About 1.5 million people died from diseases caused by hunger and famine, and about 3 million others fled Henan.
