The purpose of the exercise was to reclaim land for farming, mainly in Nanyang, Luoyang, Shangqiu and Zhoukou. The government of Henan Province announced that it had levelled more than two million graves to create fields covering 30,000 mu (~18.43 km2). After media reports caused great controversy, supporters commented that it was a worthwhile project, while opponents said it was "a foul action."
