One hundred years ago, what strange disaster happened in Ningxia, China, and many strange things happened?

It is the Haiyuan earthquake known as the "global earthquake". It happened in 1920 12 16. This is a disaster, a huge disaster. 1920, nine years of the Republic of China. At this time, China was in a period of melee, with foreign powers peeping and warlords fighting inside. Coupled with the drought that year, the crops did not grow well, which was a miserable year for the people.

That year was also the year when the famous writer Zhang Ailing was born. In this fateful year, a thing that shocked the world happened in our country except war, signing treaties and compensation, that is, a devastating earthquake with intensity 12 occurred in Ningxia. The aftershocks of the earthquake are said to have lasted for three years and even spread to Vietnam. At the same time, Lu Xun, who was far away in Beijing, even felt the earthquake and recorded eight words at random.

Mr. Lu Xun recorded in the essays naturally could not imagine the tragic situation in Ningxia at that time. An earthquake with a magnitude of 12 struck, and all the caves where Ningxia people lived collapsed in an instant. Even the ancient city of Xi 'an, which is known as "the throat of peace and the belt of sweetness", collapsed in this earthquake, leaving only the foundation. Because the earthquake happened at night, all the people left in the cave died, and no one was spared. At that time, because of the instability of the country and the scuffle between warlords, the government was unable to help, and even the government at that time did not know where the earthquake center was.

After the earthquake, plague, hunger and infection took a large part of people's lives. What is even more frightening is that a mountain, a lake and a house appeared in this area after the earthquake. There are many bodies in the lake. At night, there will be crying and whining in the mountains, and wild animals such as wolves will haunt and bite the bodies. This Haiyuan earthquake is the biggest and most tragic earthquake in China's history.
