Chapter 425: National Disaster



Jiang Mengxue knew these things in advance.

She just wants to live a peaceful life with her family.

She will help her fellow citizens as much as possible when she is able.

Jiang Mengxue's eyes were firm.

She has lived with her grandfather since she was a child.

I often hear him talk about the past.

Due to some wrong decisions, grain production has decreased.

In addition, since 1959, there has been a continuous drought in the north.

And they are mainly concentrated in grain-producing areas, such as Henan, Shandong, Sichuan, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Heilongjiang and other provinces and regions.

In 1960, the disaster continued to expand and severe droughts continued to break out in the north.

After 1961, severe drought spread to the Yellow River, Huai River and the entire Yangtze River basin. Wheat production in the three major grain-producing areas of Hebei, Shandongli and Henan decreased by 50% compared with the lowest level of the previous year.

In Northeast China alone, more than 8 million hectares of farmland were affected.

266 small rivers and 1,384 reservoirs in Jilin Province have dried up.

This is the worst drought in nearly three decades.

In the same year, drought affected 22.34 million hectares of farmland in 24 provinces and regions.

In fact, no natural disaster occurs suddenly.

There is a process of development, peak, and decline.

Although grain production was not optimistic at the beginning of last year, after a year of development, especially the decrease in rainfall.

It's almost December this year and there is still no snow.

In fact, the drought has already begun. The decrease in rain and snow this year will seriously affect the harvest in the second year.

I’m afraid that by then there won’t be enough water for growing crops, let alone for people to drink.
