Dead man tells no lies.
When a man dies he leaves behind his name. When he has a life time to repent, say sorry, admit his mistakes he will restore his name in good faith and turn righteous. He will die with a good name to bless his family and descendants ever after.
Hitler kills his wife and children knowing his name will cause harm to his children.
The evil drug Lord Britain has yet to face their retribution for their illegal drug trades with China and SEA Singapore and Borneo. A time will come for them to confront their past evil doings and apologize to China and Singapore Overseas Chinese.
Lords of Opium (Adapted from Amoy Magic--Guide to Xiamen)
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes. Chinese Proverb
For over a century, Western nations trafficked in opium on a scale that dwarfs any modern Colombian multi billion dollar drug empire, yet today we Westerners know little about it. We don't learn about it in high school history--or even college, for that matter. I had an American professor in Xiamen tell me that he thought the war was fought to keep China from exporting opium.
Most Westerners by far opposed the trade. Even the British opposed it. The entire British parliament opposed the 2nd Opium War--and was dissolved. In the 1880s, when the U.S. made it illegal for Americans to engage in the opium trade, a Chinese leader said, "This is the first time that I've seen a Christian nation act like a Christian country." But the trafficking continued until, by the 1920s, fully half of Europe’s Asian profits derived from opium. While only asmall minority benefited from the trade, that minority controlled the fate of half the world's population in China and India, and dictated Western policy as well
