famine in Henan, the ukiyo-e under the famine was filmed in a movie, from top to bottom, from the temple As high as the rivers and lakes, in the face of famine, all kinds of people performed scenes of sad or absurd scenes, which made people sigh and sigh.
When I was very young, I often listened to my grandmother and grandfather about their experiences of fleeing the famine and starving, some for 42 years, some for 60 years. For me, those are stories of unimaginable situations, and for the elderly, they are unforgettable memories.

Feng Xiaogang wanted to make an epic movie, he chose this piece of history that didn't go far, he wanted to cover everything and carried out a multi-line narrative, but the whole story seemed long and unfocused, which was also criticized by various film critics. his place.
