As the saying goes, "people see people's hearts in disasters", but many people will find such a problem: in the real disaster, human nature is completely unable to withstand the test, human nature is like a spring, the more fiercely pressed, the greater the pressure in the end, the more deeply it will rebound.
Therefore, we can only hope that disasters will never have to occur, and hope that there will always be peace on earth.

In 1942, there was a famine in Henan, the mainland, when the real people were not happy, people wanted to live, but there was no food in their stomachs, and there was no food everywhere.
For this reason, hungry people cast their eyes on the grass roots and bark on both sides of the road, and what seemed to be edible, and finally all of them were eaten into their mouths, just to pursue that feeling of fullness, but it is very sad that this tree does not have any nutrients at all, it is called fiber, and people eat it without any help to themselves.
There are also people who choose to eat Guanyin soil, eating a bulging stomach, but these soils can not be digested at all, and have become toxins, which have been accumulated in the body.
Over time, people have become more emaciated.
At that time, many women in Henan reduced their own value to the minimum, and the traffickers only needed to use four bags of millet to take them away, and they would never resist.
They could not survive on their own, only hoping that someone else would help them in the water and fire, help them to make a living, not to mention weak women, at this time there was no time for self-care, starting in 1940, after four years of famine, people
The mouth was reduced by 6 million, and the streets were littered with corpses, which looked like a dead city.
The reason for the famine in Henan is due to various reasons, first of all, climatic reasons, drought in the sky, the people are not happy, the land itself is dependent on water resources, there is no water resources, these lands are cracked piece by piece, can not grow crops, there is no harvest, so it is deadlocked, tormented.

In 1938, the Nationalist government was passively resisting Japan on the frontal battlefield, and it was a passive policy of resistance against the Japanese army; at the very beginning, Chiang Kai-shek did not want to cooperate with the Communist Party to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, and wanted to get rid of the internal troubles first, fortunately, there were two patriotic generals in the Kuomintang, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, in order to save the country's national peril, they detained Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an, strongly demanded that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate in resisting Japan, and used the Xi'an Incident to promote the anti-Japanese process.
Otherwise, the two parties would not have united to resist the Japanese Kou, and after the Xi'an Incident, although Chiang Kai-shek was forced to agree to cooperation, he held a grudge against Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng.
One ended up imprisoned for life and one died in an assassination.
At that time, the passive Kuomintang army was gradually defeated, and Chiang Kai-shek came up with an idea to replace the soldiers with water and attack the Japanese army with water, and he ordered the levee of the Yellow River to be opened.
Regardless of whether his plan was seriously damaged against the Japanese army, the Chinese people were really unhappy, in Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, the three cities directly affected along the Yellow River, a total of 900,000 people died, and 3.9 million people's homes were washed away, forced to wander to other places, becoming homeless people.
In addition, 12.5 million people were also trapped in displacement, the Yellow River was rolling eastward, and famine was intensifying.

Moreover, because of the war, Henan and other places have the task of collecting military grain, the granary of the Henan government has not been opened to relieve the people, but handed over to the army, coupled with the Henan government's management to take care of their own lives, the reserve grain finally went into their own pockets, the roadside starved to death, but the government was able to stand alone.
In addition, the Japanese set fire to farmland and the plague of locusts, which made the famine continue to intensify.
It was in the era of war, hundreds of thousands of people died in the war, and many people could not care about how many people died of starvation in the famine in Henan, until a foreign reporter came to see this scene, deeply shocked, took pictures, and sent them to international newspapers and periodicals, which aroused the great attention of foreign humanitarian organizations.
The National Government was unable to conceal this terrible famine.
The history of the disaster of that year has gradually left our vision, and now with the development of material conditions, people have gradually lived a good life and will no longer be plagued by widespread famine, but for the history of that year, we still need to remember and not forget the national shame, in order to truly promote the prosperity of China.
