Holodomor and Tragedies

Recently from the world news, we can see that there is a big change of the weather. Snow storm, flood, bushfires, drought is happening all over the world. Maybe it is an effect of the global warming, and it is an alarm for the people, to pay attention on the issue.

The drought in China has caused a wide area of wheat farm is in exsiccation, millions of people are still lack of drinking water. I still remember almost the same time last year, there was a snow storm happened in the same country. The weather has turned to an abnormal state.

Many people may still remember the Soviet famine happened last in around 1932 to 1933. The tragic, which was also known as holodomor, had taken away seven to ten million of lives. Most of the innocent victims come from Soviet Union, and mainly the grain-producing agricultural areas.

Can you imagine when people were in great starve, they could even killed their own children and ate them. It was how serious and extreme the situation was. Hopefully this kind of tragedy will not happen again and it might have taught us a lesson on how to take care of the people.
