Lin Zexu was a patriotic politician, thinker and poet in the Qing Dynasty of China. Historians call him "the first person to open his eyes to the world" in modern China. During the Opium War, he advocated a strict ban on opium, resisted Western capitalist aggression, insisted on safeguarding China's sovereignty and national interests, seized and burned large quantities of opium, and crushed many armed provocations by the British invaders, demonstrating a great spirit of patriotism. Even the British businessman, the number one opium dealer, had to admit in front of such an incorruptible imperial minister: "His hands have never been stained by bribes. This situation is unheard of among Chinese politicians."

Lin Zexu has been in officialdom for 40 years, traveled to 14 provinces, and commanded 400,000 troops. In the end, he was still very poor and impoverished. As he said in his "Self-Defined Analysis of Family Property" in his later years: "The land and property are worth zero at a discount of three hundred silver." There is no money left to divide it now! "It's really admirable and admirable! All of this, as shown in the motto written by himself hanging in the hall of his former residence:

"The sea is open to hundreds of rivers, and it is great to have tolerance; if there are thousands of walls standing on the wall, it is strong to have no desire."
