    873 - In this year, a widespread failure of the agricultural harvest in Tang Dynasty China leads to a widespread famine. In the previous century the central government was able to curb famine with large grain stores, but this time the central government is already in decline and too weak to properly face the disaster.

    Mister 880 - a 1950 film starring Burt Lancaster and Dorothy McGuire.

    The Skipper is a charming old man loved by all his neighbors. What they don't know is that he is also Mr. 880, an amateurish counterfeiter who has amazingly managed to elude the Secret Service for 20 years.
