Lin Zexu (minister and national hero during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty)

Lin Zexu (August 30, 1785 - November 22, 1850), a native of Houguan County, Fujian, with the courtesy name Yuan Fu, also known as Shaomu and Shilin, later known as Qicun Laoren, Qicun Retired Old Man, Seventy-two Peaks Retired Old Man, Pingquan Jushi, Lishe Sanren, etc., was a politician, thinker and poet in the Qing Dynasty. Yipin served as governor of Huguang, Shaanxi-Gansu and Yunnan-Guizhou, and was twice appointed as an imperial envoy. He was known as a "national hero" in China because of his advocacy of strictly prohibiting opium.

When Lin Zexu banned opium in Guangdong in 1839, he sent people to investigate and secretly investigate, forcing foreign opium merchants to hand over opium, and the confiscated opium was destroyed in Humen on June 3, 1839. The destruction of opium in Humen plunged Sino-British relations into a state of extreme tension and became the first Opium War and an excuse for Britain to invade China.

Although Lin Zexu devoted his whole life to resisting Western invasion, he maintained an open attitude towards Western culture, technology and trade, advocating learning and applying the best of them. According to documentary records, he was at least somewhat fluent in English and Portuguese, and he focused on translating Western newspapers, periodicals, and books. Wei Yuan, a thinker in the late Qing Dynasty, compiled the documents translated by Lin Zexu and his staff into "Hai Guo Tu Zhi", which inspired the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty and even Japan's Meiji Restoration.

On November 22, 1850, Lin Zexu died of illness in the old county of Puning.
