Lankao, located on the south bank of the Yellow River, originated from Lanfeng and Kaocheng in the past. 1954, Lanfeng and Kaocheng counties merged and Lankao was named.
Since ancient times, sandstorms, floods and salinities in Kelanfeng and Kaocheng have also been brought into the newly established Lankao.
However, this sandstorm, flood and saline-alkali disaster has never been so serious as 1962, so that the grain output of the county has fallen to the lowest level in history.
In the cold winter, the land of Lankao is a scene of famine, with190,000 people starving all over the line.
The Yellow River crosses the two old roads in Lankao, and it is full of invisible yellow sand, Lan Bing in the empty nest, and hay trembling in the cold wind on the saline-alkali land. There is not even a working figure except those who go out to escape.
At this time, all the work of lankao county, except distributing food is to provide relief cotton-padded clothes and burning coal, the lankao county Revolutionary Committee actually became a supply department.
