in Its Long-Term EffectsAs the largest famine of the twentieth century, the Chinese Great Leap Forward Famine (1959–1961) caused 20–30 million excess deaths and was associated with elevated risks of miscarriage and stillbirths (Johnson 1998; Cai and Wang 2005).

Answer 2

Answer:

The famine occurred within the context of the Second Sino-Japanese War and resulted from a combination of natural and human factors. 2 to 3 million people died of starvation or disease and upwards of 4 million fled Henan.

Recovery from famine :

During the 1990s the worst droughts and floods in China's modern history had only a marginal effect on the country's adequate food supply. Only a return to more rational economic policies after 1961, including imports of grain, ended the famine.
