1, there are countless firsts in life, but you must never take drugs for the first time.

What you have tasted is temporary happiness, but what you have lost is the future of your life.

Lin Zexu (1785 August 30th-1850165438+1October 22nd), a native of Houguan (now Fuzhou), Fujian Province, was called Mu, an old man in the village, who retired to the village and retired to the 72nd peak late. He was called the "national hero" of China because he advocated smoking ban.

1839 When smoking was banned in Guangdong, Lin Zexu sent an unannounced visit to force foreign opium dealers to hand over opium, and the confiscated opium was destroyed in Humen on June 3. The destruction of opium in Humen put Sino-British relations in a state of extreme tension, which became an excuse for British aggression against China during the First Opium War.

Although Lin Zexu struggled against western invasion all his life, he was open to western culture, science and technology and trade, and advocated learning and using it. According to the literature, he knows at least a little English and Portuguese, and is committed to translating western newspapers and books. Wei Yuan, a thinker in the late Qing Dynasty, compiled the documents translated by Lin Zexu and his aides into "Seaside Map", which inspired the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty and even the Meiji Restoration in Japan.
