ReportSynopsis
In 1942, Henan Province was devastated by the most tragic famine in modern Chinese history, resulting in the deaths of at least three million men, women and children. Although the primary cause of the famine was a severe drought, it was exacerbated by locusts, windstorms, earthquakes, epidemic disease and the corruption of the ruling Kuomintang government.

When Master Fan is on a train with other refugees, they make a break for it and soldiers gun them down. He crouches on the ground holding his grandchild (a baby) in his arms to protect them, but after the gunfire subsides, he realises he has accidentally smothered the child to death. The dead infant's face is shown and it is really crushingly sad.

A Chinese man is mistaken for a soldier and brought to a Japanese camp, where he eventually is stabbed through the head with a samurai-type sword. It is quite shocking, graphic and there is a lot of blood.
