In March 1839, Lin arrived in Guangdong Province to take measures that would eliminate the opium trade.[5] He was a formidable bureaucrat known for his competence and high moral standards, with an imperial commission from the Daoguang Emperor to halt the illegal importation of opium by the British.[6][7] Upon arrival, he made changes within a matter of months.[6] He arrested more than 1,700 Chinese opium dealers and confiscated over 70,000 opium pipes. He initially attempted to get foreign companies to forfeit their opium stores in exchange for tea, but this ultimately failed. Lin resorted to using force in the western merchants' enclave. A month and a half later, the merchants gave up nearly 1.2 million kg (2.6 million pounds) of opium. Beginning 3 June 1839, 500 workers laboured for 23 days to destroy it, mixing the opium with lime and salt and throwing it into the sea outside of Humen Town. Lin composed an elegy apologising to the gods of the sea for polluting their realm.[8] 26 June is now the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in honour of Lin's work.

Lin Zexu (30 August 1785 – 22 November 1850), courtesy name Yuanfu, was a Chinese scholar-official of the Qing dynasty best known for his role in the First Opium War of 1839–42. He was from Fuzhou, Fujian Province. Lin's forceful opposition to the opium trade was a primary catalyst for the First Opium War. He is praised for his constant position on the "moral high ground" in his fight, but he is also blamed for a rigid approach which failed to account for the domestic and international complexities of the problem.[2] The Daoguang Emperor endorsed the hardline policies advocated by Lin, but then blamed Lin for the resulting disastrous war.[3]

As usual, Han Chinese who did good work to protect Chinese from opium only got chopped by Manchu and 满清走狗汉奸Han Chinese traitor dogs. Lin Zexu kena exiled to Xinjiang.

"Lin made significant preparation for war against the possible British invasion. The British sailed north to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The governors of these two provinces failed to heed a warning from Lin, however, and were unprepared when the British easily landed and occupied Dinghai.

Lin became a scapegoat for these losses due to court politics. As punishment, he was exiled to the remote Ili region in Xinjiang. His position was then given to Qishan in September 1840."

Lin Zexu was praised as "Fine scholar. Just and merciful official. A true patriot." By an angmoh! Angmoh the best can recognise patriot! Not like Chinese that stepped on him then.

"Lin died in 1850 while on the way to Guangxi Province, where the Qing government was sending him to help put down the Taiping Rebellion. Though he was originally blamed for causing the First Opium War, Lin's reputation was rehabilitated in the last years of the Qing dynasty, as efforts were made once more to eradicate opium production and trade. He became a symbol of the fight against opium, with his image displayed in parades, and his writings quoted approvingly by anti-opium reformers.[14]

Despite the antagonism between the Chinese and the British at the time, the English sinologist Herbert Giles praised and admired Lin: "He was a fine scholar, a just and merciful official and a true patriot."

Lin's former home, situated in Fuzhou's historic Sanfang-Qixiang ("Three Lanes and Seven Alleys") district, is open to the public. Inside, his work as a government official, including the opium trade and other work where he improved agricultural methods, championed water conservation (including his work to save Fuzhou's West Lake from becoming a rice field) and his campaign against corruption are well documented.

In China, Lin is popularly viewed as a national hero. June 3, the day when Lin confiscated the chests of opium, is celebrated as Anti-Smoking Day in Taiwan. Monuments to Lin have been constructed in Chinese communities around the world.[15][16] A statue of Lin stands in Chatham Square in Chinatown, New York City, United States. The base of the statue is inscribed with "Don't do drugs" in English and Chinese.[17] A wax statue of Lin also appeared in Madame Tussauds wax museum in London.[6]

Instead of emulating Japan and spending cash on modernising the Qing army with rifles, cannons and warships, our dear Cixin lavished everything on useless palaces. Now China is in the Communo-capitalistic trashcan with no sense of its history. The people exist, but only as lost ghosts.

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!

I have this feeling that 11 Jinping doesn't plan to hand over power once his 10 year-term is up. He may want to stay on way longer. Power can be addictive.

You making Ass Loong jealous ah?

But to be truthful this noble idea of Xijinping's 扶贫 is impractical and misleading. He came from the exact same faulty origin as the Western Humanity which blindly assumed that Planet Earth can indefinitely and unlimitedly supply all the resources without reaching exhaustion. Sadly there isn't such a childish ideal thing at all. There isn't resources to pamper all the human on earth, not even sustain their survival in time to come soon. Vast majority if not ALL will face extinction.

Xi jinping from henan? I've been there. Anyang and puyang.crossed the yellow river. It is sais the ch8nese civilisation began in henan province. Everywhere you fig, some artefact will reveal itself.
That will explain why the people there seldom bath or wash themselves and the accumulated dirt and muck protected their skin from the sun especially in summer when its very hot. Otherwise, they will be dark like indians.
