The case of Liu Jiayuan killing and eating his son occurred in 1960 in Lixian County, Hunan Province, during China’s Great Famine. Due to years of starvation, Liu’s household had long since run out of food. On the brink of death from hunger, Liu Jiayuan ultimately killed his son and ate him to survive.
After the incident, Liu Jiayuan was arrested. The case became one of the documented proofs of cannibalism during the Three Years of Great Famine.
In the photograph, Liu Jiayuan stands against a wall, iron shackles on his wrists. Beside him are his son’s skull and skeleton, along with an iron pot. In the pot is meat he had sliced from the body of his nearly starved son, stewed with carrots.
The photo was taken before Liu’s execution. It was documented by those who carried out the execution and serves as irrefutable evidence of cannibalism during that horrific era.
