@cicisaja I did some reading over the past few days on this. It happened in the late 50s, early 60s. and created one of the worst famines China had ever seen. Seeing the pictures of them shoveling up the sparrows made my tummy turn. So they decided to change their 4th pest to bedbugs.
Chinese history always interesting to read, you'll find so many great influences of the Chinese to the world too
