Abstract

When the revolution of 1911 reached a high tide,both Jiangsu and Anhui were stricken by very serious floods. In response to these floods,the CCFRFC was founded and was based on Chinese and foreign unofficial cooperation.Under the state of political turmoil,the CCFRFC uninterruptedly focused on the famine relief. To some extent,CCFRFC's work supplemented the central governments' serious shortage of relief,and helped to eliminate the great social unrest that this disaster caused. Therefore,a study of this period of history can enhance our understanding of therelation between famine and the Revolution of 1911. In addition,if we correctly grasp the main stream of development of CCFRFC,we must take into account both the dimensions of localization and internationalization,and more attentionshould be paid to the process of social change that was created by this unique development.
