Haoren began to prepare for drought relief in the northwest since he captured Shaanxi. During the Republic of China period, there were successive natural disasters in the northwest, the most tragic of which was the severe drought from 1928 to 1930. It seems that there is a force in the dark.

It seems that it is no coincidence that it indicates the decline of national destiny.

According to a later statistical record, as of the end of 1928, the number of starvation victims reported to the province by various counties in Shaanxi was more than 2,800. From January to April 1929, the number of starvation victims increased sharply.

More than 206,000 people were killed, it was miserable, extremely tragic, a tragic situation that is extremely rare in the world.

In 1929, in later generations, there was no green in the western wilderness, the trees were bare, and even the bark of the trees had been peeled off. Dead skeleton-like corpses lay on the roadside, without muscles, and those with a little bit of flesh were immediately devoured.

, the bones are as brittle as eggshells. All you see are living corpses that can no longer be called human beings: the dying flesh hanging on his body is wrinkled, and you can clearly see every bone on his body. He

His eyes were blank, and he sold everything - the beams on the house, the clothes on his body, and sometimes even the last fig leaf. He swayed under the scorching sun, his penis hanging there softly like a shriveled

Olive pit - a final grim mockery that reminds you that he was once a human being. Children are even more pitiable, with their crooked, jointed, skinny little skulls and bulging bellies stuffed with bark.

The sawdust was like a tumor. The women were lying in the corner waiting to die. There was no meat on their buttocks, they were skinny, and their breasts were shriveled and sagging, like empty sacks. The hungry people were unable to get out of the hunger circle that stretched thousands of miles, so they had to sell their children to their mothers and aunts.

Himself. The ferry on the bank of the Yellow River in Jiaxian County is a market for selling people. People from northern Shaanxi sell their own flesh and blood to people from Shanxi. The skinny men, women, old and young are crowded in a dark place. There is no crying, no sorrow of separation, only the heart-cutting hunger and the gloomy death.

They were frightened by their anger, and they all hoped that someone would come and take them away soon. Those who could not be sold starved to death on the spot, and eventually even the traffickers also starved to death. The latecomers came to the corpses in darkness and continued to wait for death.

.Many young girls who suffered from famine and lack of food and clothing were loaded half-naked into livestock trucks and transported to brothels in Shanghai. This is a corner of the Great Famine in North and Northwest China from 1929 to 1930. The eight-hundred-mile Qin

Sichuan is still a thousand miles away, and it is said that all the food that can be eaten has been wiped out. What kind of human tragedy is this.

History is always so similar. Looking at history, we can always find that many war-torn times were accompanied by various natural disasters such as floods and droughts. It was especially serious during the Republic of China.

Xihua Mansion held a preparatory meeting for the founding of the People's Republic of China, and a large number of heavyweights attended the meeting. During the meeting, Haoren made an important speech, especially regarding disaster relief work. Haoren listed a large number of facts to illustrate the seriousness of natural disasters, pointing out:

The number of natural disasters that have occurred in recent years has increased significantly, which should attract our great attention. In 1912, there were floods in six provinces including Hunan; in 1913, there were floods in nine provinces, including Hubei; in 1914, there were floods in 11 provinces including Guangdong.

Floods; floods in twelve provinces including Hunan in 1915; floods in the Huaihe River, Canal, and middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in 1916; floods in seven provinces including Hebei in 1917; floods in nine provinces including Hunan in 1918;

Floods hit Anhui and other ten provinces in 1919; floods hit eight provinces including Henan in 1921; floods hit four provinces including Jiangsu in 1922; floods spread across 12 provinces in 1923; and Guangdong in 1924.

Floods occurred in twelve provinces: the Yellow River embankment collapsed in 1925, and the disaster area was 2,000 square miles; the floods in Anhui and Shandong in 1926: this is the situation of floods.

Droughts that have had a greater impact in recent years include: the drought in four provinces including Henan in 1913; the drought in three provinces including Sichuan in 1914; the drought in Sichuan in 1915; the drought in three provinces including Henan in 1916

Drought; drought in Yunnan and Sichuan in 1919; severe drought in the north in 1920, severe drought occurred in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei and other provinces, with 20 million victims and 500,000 deaths; 1922

The drought in Hunan; the drought in five provinces including Northeast China in 1926.

These have happened so far, but what will happen in the future? There will definitely be more. What we have to do is to prepare for a rainy day, make all preparations, and do our best to resist the damage caused by natural disasters to our people and prevent our people from appearing.

Human cannibalism is a tragic situation in the world.

one,

The northern provinces must take drought relief as their main task at present. The northern provinces are located in the Loess Plateau in northern my country and are one of the drought-prone areas in my country. Droughts have occurred frequently in history. We must vigorously build water conservancy projects and do a good job in the storage of water conservancy projects. Water work. It is necessary to make plans for short-term, medium-term and long-term water conservancy project construction according to the characteristics of each place.

two,

The southern provinces are mainly preparing for flood control. The construction of embankments on large rivers and rivers must be included in the agenda as soon as possible, and short-term, medium-term and long-term construction plans must be made. We must not take it lightly.

three,

From now on, all provinces must strictly carry out food reserves. The amount of food reserves is based on the amount of food consumed by each province each year. The government organized experts to carefully study the reserve ratio and formulate a minimum reserve red line. After each disaster relief, each province must be within three years.

Raising grain reserves above the red line is a hard target.

Four,

Supervisory departments at all levels must be highly vigilant about signs of crime during this period, especially economic crimes. Interests determine some people’s criminal impulses. As long as the interests are big enough, there is nothing they dare not do. No matter who it is, anyone who dares to touch disaster relief food

The idea is one word: kill!

five,

It is strictly prohibited to cut down trees and increase the vegetation area. This is another goal of ours. The vegetation coverage area in various places can only be increased but not reduced. This is also a hard target for each province. Gradually change the fuel to coal, and the government and the government must seriously study the implementation strategy, and more and more

The sooner we implement it, the better. At the same time, we must study ways and means to save coal. Saving resources and reducing pollution is our long-term strategy.

six,

Governments and localities at all levels should study disaster relief methods and strategies, establish disaster relief agencies, set up emergency mechanisms, and carry out various disaster relief and emergency work.

seven,

For the above matters, laws and regulations must be improved as soon as possible, and relevant departments must increase their efforts.

During the meeting, Haoren also met with Mei Yiqi and others. Xihua government appointed Mei Yiqi as the president of Xihua University, which is located in Kunming. Mei Yiqi, also known as Yuehan, was founded by Wu Shitu University in the United States in 1914.

After returning to China after completing his studies, he went to Tsinghua University to hold various positions such as teaching and provost. In later years, in 1931, Mei Yiqi became the president of Tsinghua University. From then on until his death in Taiwan, he continued to serve Tsinghua University and was therefore known as

Tsinghua's "lifelong president". Under his leadership, Tsinghua was able to leap from a well-known school with no academic status to one of the country's prestigious universities in just ten years. In his lifetime, he only accomplished

One thing is to successfully take charge of Tsinghua University and establish the school image of Tsinghua University. When he was the president of Tsinghua University, he made indelible contributions, firstly, the strict selection and recruitment of faculty talents, and secondly, the implementation of a

Taiyuan University was established in Taiyuan, with Ma Yinchu serving as president.

Due to the financial constraints of all parties in the Central Plains, people are worried about war. Coupled with the peaceful environment, generous treatment, and bright prospects in Western China, the elites of China are moving to the west, almost sucking out the essence of the Central Plains. However,

No one will care.
