What was the worst famine that century?
Incidentally, the name they used is a common one for the event in English, though so is "CCP"
I'm not sure but off the top of my head the Qing famine of 1907 claimed ~25 million lives. You're right on the CCP part, I change it in my head every time so I didn't even catch that.
