I, Li Zhenshan, was reborn in 1942, a year before the great famine. In this life, I was trying not to let my relatives starve to death. Li Zhenshan woke up from the pain of his future life and found that he had returned to his hometown in the autumn of 1941 (a village in northern Henan). Great shock, ecstasy mixed with deeper fear. He immediately checked the time and saw that although his hometown was in decline, it was still full of vitality. His parents were still alive and his sister was young and lively. The tragedy of the previous life has not yet occurred, but its shadow has been cast (drought has appeared, and food prices have risen slightly).
This work commemorates the tragic feelings of home and country in Henan in 1942

It feels like I have returned to that terrible era. I am now over 60 years old, and the feeling of hunger from back then appears before my eyes.
