Quite evidently the country faces one of the most severe famines of many years, and thousands have already died. A recent survey by the Szechuan Famine Relief Commission discovered that 30,000,000 people are now in the famine belt of that province, where bark and 'Goddess-of-Mercy' earth are being consumed by tens of thousands. There are said to be over 400,000 famine refugees in Shensi, over a million in Kansu, some 7,000,000 in Honan, and 3,000,000 in Kweichow. The famine in Kweichow is admitted by the official Central News to be the most serious in 100 years, affecting sixty districts of the province." en https://archive.org/details/ruralchinaimperi0000hsia/ 1960 Rural China Imperial Control in the Nineteenth Century K.
