Yu Ziqing understood that Cece couldn't empathize, but he could.
He had already starved to death twice!

No matter what, no one should die from hunger.
If it were due to natural disasters that someone starved, Yu Ziqing was powerless, but he would feel terrible.
But if someone was starved intentionally, and he had the power to prevent it but didn't act, he could foresee that in the coming months there might be even greater man-made disasters, potentially resulting in millions, possibly tens of millions, starving to death.
It might not even end there.
First, it was far easier to cause harm than to save. All it took was turning a blind eye, and those people's consciences wouldn't be affected in the least.
Second, the population in Dazhen far exceeded that of the Wilderness, by orders of magnitude; adding two zeros might not suffice.
