tanwahtiu will be proud, but tanwahtiu is teochew. he will suck on soon kueh instead.
This Hokkien loser Lim really fucked the Cantonese up real good. But on the other hand, his fuckup allowed the Brits to introduce Western civilization to the backwards chinks who still think they are the centre of the world.
Even the so-called father of modern China Sun Yat-sen was a Hakka-Cantonese. Everywhere you can see the superiority of Hakka-Cantonese-Hokkien chinks. Now you can see why communist panda Xi Jinping from Shaanxi/Henan will never make China great. In fact, he's getting closer and closer to Mao Zedong. Scary!

Hopefully a Zhu YuanZhang or Napoleon Bonaparte will appear, overthrow the communists and return the country to a monarchy
Zhu yuan Zhang was a poor peasant who turned emperor and become tyrant himself. Goes to show only democracy works eventually.

Zhang Wuji should have become the emperor instead. :(
18th century Europe was only superior to China/Japan in terms of military technology.
The cannons and rifles all relied on gunpowder, and we know who discovered it.
The necessary of guarding against their own (i.e. Prussia vs France, UK, Russia.) and getting more resources from colonization induced the Europeans to refine gunpowder weapons.
China was by and large peaceful and self-sufficient, so no need to develop (Huge mistake though).
Culturally wise it was on par with 'enlightened' Europe which just came out of the barbarism of the middle ages.
A few writers lamented at how 18th cent. Europe lacked far behind the Pagan Greeks and Romans.
Religion wise also terrible, it's not native (from a place called Palestine) and has many defects (metaphysically poor) compared to hinduism, buddhism or Taoism.
The chinese and hindus ridiculed the missionaries for their bible storytelling that the world began from 4004 BC, when in fact time is beginning-less.
Chinese language has no word for the theistic 'All-good, all-knowing god'.
Wow Lin Zexu was the FIRST Chinese with foresight of what's happening in the world and how China should stop thinking how great it is and should learn from the west! He collected and translated vast information about the west, wrote a script 四洲记 and passed them to his trusted aide Wei Yuan to publish a book 海国图志 about the west and how to deal with the west.
Unfortunately, Manchu and Han Chinese traitor dogs dismissed the book as praising west and didn't seriously follow the teachings while the Japanese treated it as God's gift and followed the teachings religiously and that's how they quickly fully embraced the west system, overthrown the shogan and started Meiji and industrialisation; surpassed China and become number one country in East Asia by winning the war against China in 1895. Now we know Hokkien the best!

”第一有遠見的中國人:林則徐
海佑
......
林賞識魏源的才華,把歷年所集的海外諸國資料,及翻譯的報刊剪輯,四洲記,交託給他,囑魏源編寫一書,介紹西方文明,振發國人,不能再閉塞無知,自以為高,想惟有中國天朝。這就是海國圖志。魏源不負所託,只以半年時間完成,凡五十卷,於1844年刊行,後來擴展到百卷,宗旨是知己知彼,“師夷長技以制夷”。書中及於西方的地理,歷史,人文,工藝製造,宗教,政治制度,並如何與西方交往,是中國近代第一本這樣的書,影響中興名臣曾國藩,及後來的華人出洋,及現代化的進展,也影響日本的維新。
In contrast, the Japanese after reading the book by Lin Zexu/Wei yuan recognised their weakness and that you cannot just modernise without changing the country backward leadership system. That is, the fundamental requirement to deal with the west is to get rid of the ruling Tokugawa family and using the west firearms they managed to do that in 1858 despite very much fewer soldiers than the Tokugawa shogun family and ended their over 200 year rules of Japan. Did you see any Chinese did the same thing to get rid of Qing emperor? No. Instead nothing was done and this allowed cixi to remain for decades rebuilding gardens/palaces while Japan was surging forward to industrialisation at the same time. And the Japanese success was reflected in their winning of war against china in 1895.

要做到“师夷之长技以制夷”,就不仅要发展本国的工业,开展对等的对外贸易,更重要的是推行民主制度,推翻德川幕府的封建统治。1868年1月,日本的维新派势力在“王政复古”口号下,发动了对德川幕府的战争,由于装备了大量西洋新式武器,维新军队虽然人数远远少于幕府军队,但依靠武器优势连战连捷,最终包围了德川幕府的老巢江户。1858年4月,德川幕府的最后一任将军德川庆喜见大势已去,被迫向兵临城下的维新派军队投降,德川幕府对日本长达200多年的统治画上了句号。
1868年7月,日本新政府宣布将江户改称东京,并定为日本首都。此后,以天皇睦仁为首,由改革派武士掌握的明治政府,开始着手实行维新,推进变革,日本逐渐摆脱了西方列强的肆意欺辱,并一跃成为东亚第一强国。半个世纪后,梁启超先生在回顾这段明治维新的历史时,曾这样评价说,日本维新派前辈“皆为此书(《海国图志》)所刺激”,最终完成了改革图新大业。
But he would have been deposed soon after that, in my opinion, so he would have wasted his time and energy:Zhang Wuji should have become the emperor instead. :(
成千上万的老百姓把虎门围个水泄不通,随着林则徐的一声令下,几个民工向灌了水的销烟池里撒下盐巴,把收缴来的鸦片抛入池内,再倒入一担担生石灰,害人的鸦片顿时被销毁了。欢呼之声响彻了虎门的上空。虎门销烟这一伟大的壮举沉重的打击了外国侵略者的嚣张气焰,也让全世界明白中国人民是不可欺辱的。
Talk about the future demand British Empire now England the queen E to apologize to China and all oversea Chinese before she mati.
It was the British that keep the flow of opiun available to all European mules at China door step.
