1840—1842年,英国政府向一个远离万里、拥有世界1/3人口的东方大国,发动了一场持续了三年多的战争。这场战争引起了英国民众的震惊和密切的关注。这种情形,甚至使在华的英美商人都感觉到了:“满载中国问题的文章,终于在欧洲报刊上出现了。大量的时事小册子,已经摆到公众面前,评论、报纸一页接一页,一栏又一栏刊载着讨论中国问题的评论。”
From 1840 to 1842, the British government launched a war that lasted for more than three years to a great East Power that was one million away from the world and had a population of one-third of the world’s population. The war has aroused the British public’s shock and close attention. This kind of situation even convinced the Anglo-American businessmen in China that “the article containing the issue of China has finally appeared in the European press.” A large number of current affairs brochures have been put before the public, and commentary and newspapers are page after page Another column contains comments on the China issue.
