清朝末年,英帝国为了掠夺更多的财富,将大量的鸦片输入中国。染上鸦片瘾的中国人一个个无精打采、四肢无力,完全丧失了劳动能力,而伴随这一切的是大量的白银流入了英国人的腰包。林则徐看到这种情况,忧心如焚,向皇帝上书说,如果不禁止鸦片的流入,听任这种情况发展下去,中国人将失去战斗力,国家也面临灭亡的危险。皇帝同意了林则徐的请求,任命他为钦差大臣,到广州查禁鸦片。

The late Qing Dynasty, the British Empire in order to plunder more wealth, large quantities of opium into China. The Chinese who became addicted to opium addicted one after another, languid and completely disabled their ability to work. With all this, a large amount of silver flowed into the pockets of the British. When Lin Zexu saw the situation and was worried, he wrote to the emperor that if the opium influx is not allowed and the situation continues to develop, the Chinese will lose their combat effectiveness and the country will also face the danger of demise. The emperor agreed with Lin Zexu’s request to appoint him as imperial commissioner and ban the opium in Guangzhou.
