The 1931 Central China floods or the Central China floods of 1931 are generally considered the deadliest natural disaster ever recorded, and almost certainly the deadliest of the 20th century (when pandemics are discounted) and in China. The human casualties are estimated from lows of 400,000 to highs of 3.7 million to 4 million.
A wide range of numbers and statistics can be found in numerous sources. The general figures are high. The numbers also vary depending on the rivers. The majority of major rivers in China all flooded such as the Yellow river, Yangtze river, and the Huai river.
Yellow River
The Yellow River has historically been considered the "Cradle of Chinese Civilization". Major floods in this river generally have catastrophic agricultural, economic and social impact. The Yellow River flood occurred between July to November 1931. Estimates of the number of people killed in the flood range generally range from 1 to 2 million. Figures have shown about 1 million people died of drowning. Some listed the Yellow River death toll alone to be as high as 4 million.
The river completely inundated 87,000 km2. It partially inundated 20,000 km2, and left 80 million people homeless.
Yangtze River
The worst period was from July to August. In July alone, four weather stations along the Yangtze river reported rain totaling over 2 ft (0.61 m) for the month. The casualties of the Yangtze river drainage region reached 145,000 and affected 28.5 million.
Huai river
The Yangtze along with the Huai river flood rendered Nanjing city, capital of China at the time, an island in a massive flood zone. Millions died of drowning or from diseases such as cholera and typhus. Wives and daughters were sold, and local residents reported infanticide and cannibalism in stark details to the government. Some of the areas affected included Hubei, Hubai, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hankou, Wuhan, Hanyang, Chongging. The high watermark was reached on August 19 at Hankou with the level exceeding 53 ft (16 m) above normal. Comparatively this is an average of 5.6 ft (1.7 m) above the Shanghai Bund. On the evening of August 25 the water through the Grand Canal washed away dikes near Gaoyou lake. Some 200,000 people drowned in their sleep.

Kiwifruit originated in the Yangtze Valley of northern China and Zhejiang Province on the coast of eastern China. Originally called yáng táo, they were considered a delicacy by the great Khans. Chinese farmers cultivated them on a small scale at least 300 years ago, and used them as a tonic for children and for women after childbirth.
An agent for the Royal Horticultural Society, London, collected specimens of yáng táo in 1847. The plants were first exported from Asia as an ornamental vine.
In 1900, Ernest Henry Wilson sent yáng táo seeds gathered in Hubei, China, to Veitch and Sons Nursery in England. Consul-General Levi S. Wilcox sent seeds from Hankou, China, to the United States Department of Agriculture Plant Introduction Field Station at Chico, California in 1904. Mary Isabel Fraser, the principal of Wanganui Girls' College, who had been visiting mission schools in Yichang, China, brought yáng táo seeds to New Zealand in 1906 and gave them to neighbors. That same year, Alexander Allison, a Wanganui horticulturalist, planted the seeds. The plants at the Veitch and Sons Nursery flourished and bloomed in 1909. When both male and female vines were planted together, they produced fruits, but English growers typically grew only solitary vines as an ornamental arbor vine.
Some of Alexander Allison's New Zealand vines bore fruits in 1910. The US vines were also fruiting in California in 1910. At first, there was a viable combination of male and female vines. But when seeds were planted from these, the more than 1,300 seedlings then sent out for field trials were almost all male and failed to produce fruit. The USDA dismissed the yáng táo vines as ornamental curiosities. By the 1920s, the fruit, then known as the "Chinese gooseberry," was a sensation in New Zealand's garden catalogs. Auckland-based nurseryman Hayward Wright developed his own cultivar in Avondale, New Zealand, around 1924.
Several New Zealand growers raised Chinese gooseberry seedlings and selected the best fruiting types, which were propagated around 1930. Hayward Wright popularized the practice of using scion wood, or grafts, so farmers could know exactly what sex and variety of vine they were splicing onto root stock. Orchardist Jim MacLoughlin made the first commercial planting in 1937 in New Zealand.
By 1940 there were many plantings in New Zealand, one with 200 vines, especially on the eastern coast of the North Island. The Chinese gooseberry fruits were being marketed and were very popular with American servicemen stationed in New Zealand during World War II.
John Pilkington Hudson and others at the agriculture department in Wellington conducted pioneering research into the transportability of Chinese gooseberries, which showed that Hayward Wright's cultivars could spend months in cold storage with little damage to the quality of the fruit. In 1952, Jim MacLoughlin partnered with the New Zealand Fruit Federation to market and export Chinese gooseberries to England. In 1953, New Zealand began commercial exporting, mainly to Japan, North America, and Europe, with small quantities to Australia, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia. When Hayward Wright died in 1959, the New Zealand ministry of agriculture renamed his cultivar the Hayward Chinese Gooseberry. That same year, the first 100 cases of Hayward Chinese Gooseberries arrived in San Francisco. Whether it was because American consumers balked at the association of the "Chinese" moniker and communism, or whether growers balked at the "gooseberry" moniker because real (European) gooseberries are prone to a fungus, the name was problematic. So the Auckland fruit packers Turners & Growers floated the alternate term "melonette." That name was dropped when the New Zealanders realized that there were import tariffs on melons.
In 1961, Chinese gooseberries made their first appearance at a restaurant in the United States. The following year, N. L. Sondag, a California produce dealer, began importing the fruits from New Zealand at the request of a Safeway shopper. Sondag asked for a short Maori name that brought New Zealand to mind. Turners & Growers suggested "kiwi." By 1964, "kiwi berries" were offered by the Oregon-based Harry and David's Fruit of the Month Club. By the late 1960s, California began producing its own kiwifruit in the Delano and Gridley areas. By the late 1960s, kiwifruit was being grown in Cambodia, Vietnam, southern Laos, France, Spain, Belgium, and Italy.
Los Angeles fruit trader Frieda Caplan of Frieda's Inc. was a pioneer in popularizing kiwifruit in the US. She championed the import of New Zealand kiwifruit, and when the first California orchard bore fruit in 1970, she bought the entire crop. The nouvelle cuisine movement of the 1970s boosted kiwifruit's popularity in the US, while in Europe, it became a craze. Sliced kiwifruit became a signature garnish of nouvelle cuisine, and the required topping for cream tarts. By the late 1970s, Italy began commercial production of kiwifruit.
By the 1980s, 75% of New Zealand's exports went to Europe, and the Europeans themselves were avidly planting Hayward vines. Italy advanced to third place in world production by 1983. Over half of Italy's crop is exported to France and other European countries. Production of California kiwifruit skyrocketed in the 1980s, rising 667% in just five years to keep up with soaring demand. Greece began producing kiwifruits for export to other European countries, filling the seasonal gap when fruits from New Zealand are not available. Italy's kiwifruit crop increased more than 75% in 1989 alone.
In 1990 Italy outstripped New Zealand in production. By 1991, the two countries were embroiled in more than 107 lawsuits, with the Italians trying to block imports from New Zealand by alleging that the New Zealand fruit had excess pesticide residues. By 1992, France, Portugal, Chile, and Japan had also entered the international kiwifruit business. The global kiwifruit market crashed, and New Zealand growers were bankrupt. An estimated 18-20% of them left the business. Production dropped by a fifth. The New Zealanders decided to rename the national fruit and its marketing board with one word. Like Kodak, they wanted a word that was pronounceable and unoffensive in every language. From a computer-generated list of such words, they chose Zespri. Zespri International Limited was formed in 1997 as a global marketing organization. The Hayward kiwifruit became Zespri Green.
The new brand name needed a brand-new fruit. New Zealand's fruit breeders came up with a gold species (Actinidia chinensis) that was sufficiently unique to be trademarked a Zespri Gold and to have the plant variety rights registered. Zespri now licenses farmers to grow the new gold kiwifruit to Zespri standards, to be sold under a Zespri label.
Today, California provides 98% of the US crop, although the state is still a small player in the world kiwifruit market, trailing Italy, New Zealand, and Chile by a significant margin. Out of the four main varieties, the most popular is still the Hayward. New hybrids include the baby kiwis, are composed of three species of kiwifruit, hardy kiwi (Actinidia arguta), Arctic beauty (A. kolomikta), and silver vine (A. polygama). They are green, smooth, about the size of table grapes, and eaten much like them.

Children played ball games of all types. Britons also played cricket. Girls loved to play jacks, marbles, jump rope, play school and house, and played with dolls. The games the kids loved were neighborhood games like "Red, Light, Green, Light", "Red Rover", "Hide and Seek", "Statutes" and other games. They liked board games like Monopoly, Scrabble, Life, checkers, chess, backgammon, Chinese checkers, and dominoes.
Cards was a really big hit. They liked Fish, Concentration, Crazy Eights, Hearts, and if old enough Canasta, Gin Rummy, solitaire, Slap Jack, War and 21. There were also games in water like Marco Polo, dive bomb and water ballet. Children played for hours because they did not have video games or television. They made up their own games too. Adults loved the board games and card games. The women would get together to play cards once a week. Men liked all the ball games, cribbage card came matches and gin rummy too. Men obviously liked to play poker games.
