Radical resection was performed within 4-12 weeks prior to enrollment. 5. Complete recovery from surgical resection within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. 6. High risk factors for recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after resection surgery (multiple tumors, tumor length>5cm, poor tumor differentiation (Edmondson III-IV grade), resection margin = 12 weeks. 11. The main organ functions meet the following requirements (within 7 days before enrollment): (1) Blood routine examination: (excluding hemoglobin, no blood transfusion within 14 days before screening, no use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF], no medication correction): Absolute neutrophil count >= 1.5 × 10 ^ 9/L; Platelets >= 75 × 10 ^ 9/L; Hemoglobin >= 90g/L. (Leukopenia and thrombocytopenia caused by splenic hyperfunction can be included in the study after partial splenic artery embolization or drug correction.) (2) Blood biochemistry test (no albumin transfusion within 14 days before screening): Serum albumin 50ml/min (3) International normalized ratio (INR) = 2+, 24-hour (h) urine protein quantification must be performed, and 24-hour urine protein quantification<1.0g can be included in the group). 12. If suffering from hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, one must be willing to receive antiviral treatment throughout the study period (according to diagnostic and treatment guidelines, such as entecavir) and regularly monitor; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) positive subjects must receive antiviral treatment according to diagnostic and treatment guidelines and have liver function within CTCAE1 level elevation. 13.Women with fertility must agree to contraception from the time of signing the informed consent form until 90 days (whichever is longer) after the last use of the study drug. And the blood HCG test must be negative within 7 days before starting the study treatment; And it must be non lactating.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known hepatocellular carcinoma, sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic mixed cell carcinoma, and fibrolamellar cell carcinoma; Within 5 years or simultaneously with other active malignant tumors other than hepatocellular carcinoma (excluding cured skin basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ). 2. There are uncontrollable extrahepatic metastases, such as lung and brain metastases (EHS). 3. Previously received local treatments, including therapeutic TACE, transarterial embolization (TAE), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), transarterial radioembolization (TARE), etc. 4. Subjects who are preparing for or have previously undergone organ or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. 5.
