People have to go through a lot in their life, especially in that era when technology is underdeveloped and even food and clothing is a problem. At that time, most of our parents were still facing the problem of food and clothing. In fact, they have experienced many disasters, and our future generations need to be afraid. The following small series will talk about some disasters that my parents and the older generation have experienced.

1. In Henan, millions of people died of drought.

1942 to 1943, I heard from my grandfather who was doing business that there was a famine all over the country. As the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression draws to a close, our people can't survive in the war. In those two years, they experienced a rare drought in history. At one time, countless people died of hunger and disease all over the country. It is said that nearly one million people died in this drought in Henan alone.

In two or three years, natural disasters starved to death everywhere.

The three-year natural disaster period is the years when the parents' generation was born. Old people of their parents' generation often recall their childhood sufferings after meals. At that time, they had nothing to eat, and they were so hungry that they had to dig Guanyin mud on the hillside to eat. But because this kind of mud is dirt after all, many people eventually die after eating it. Three years of natural disasters was also the poorest time in China, when many people starved to death.

Third, the Tangshan earthquake is frightening.

1970 Tangshan earthquake is the biggest earthquake in my father's history. In this earthquake, there were victims everywhere in Tangshan, Hebei Province. At that time, China was underdeveloped in science and technology, and the rescue speed obviously could not keep up with the rescue speed of Wenchuan earthquake. In this earthquake, countless people lost their homes and relatives. When my father described this period, he said that the great earthquake of that year was felt clearly all over the country.

To sum up, it is difficult to enrich the country. Now that China has developed agricultural science and technology, it is no longer necessary to endure the days when people often catch a cold and don't eat. With the efforts of the older generation, the people's living standards have undergone qualitative changes. These older generations who have paid a lot for the new China are worth remembering. I wonder if you have anything to add to the disasters experienced by the older generation. Welcome to leave a message
