从1942年到1943年,久旱无雨的河发生了罕见的“中原大饥荒”,造成500万人死亡,惨绝人寰,举世震惊。“自然灾害”当然是“天灾”,但造成数百万人死亡则主要是“人祸”,即当时政治的腐败、政府的严重失职。事实证明,一旦政府采取有力的赈灾措施,灾民得到救济,死亡人数便迅速减少。这次“大饥荒”中,美国《时代》周刊驻华记者白修德(Theodore H.White)在促使远在重庆的国民政府采取果断措施,使无数生灵得救的过程中,起了至关重要的作用。
From 1942 to 1943, a rare “Central Plains famine” took place in the long, troubled river, causing a death toll of 5 million people. Of course, “natural disasters” are “natural disasters.” However, the death toll of millions of people is mainly man-made disasters, namely the political corruption and the serious government failure. Facts have proved that as soon as the government takes vigorous relief measures and the victims receive relief, the death toll will rapidly decrease. In The Great Famine, Theodore H. White, the correspondent of Time magazine, the United States, played a crucial role in urging the national government far away in Chongqing to take decisive measures to save innumerable souls Role.
