The Chinese call the Huang He "China's Sorrow" in honor of the people killed by the floods. The Huang He often overflows its banks, causing enormous floods. The Chinese have recorded more than 1,500 floods of the Huang He which have taken millions of lives. So therefore It is an appropriate one because the huang he river was a very destructive river, killing many people, becoming the river of sorrows since so many families were separated due to death
