An infatuated woman, an amorous man, and a good horse can also match a good saddle. If you are at a loss, cause and effect are in your heart, like a lotus, winning a platform.

Lin Zexu was the first national hero who took the lead in resisting the western colonial aggression in modern China, and he was a patriot who matched his words with his deeds. The anti-smoking struggle led by him showed the world that the people of China hated opium and were determined to resist foreign aggression, and that the people of China were a nation that loved freedom and was not afraid of violence, which also opened the prelude to China's modern democratic revolution. 1858, Marx affirmed Lin Zexu's achievements in banning smoking in his monograph on opium trade. Lin Zexu is a politician who does not avoid risks and makes great contributions to the country. He not only showed fearless heroism in the face of invaders and bravely defended national sovereignty and national dignity, but also always adhered to the patriotic concept and never wavered when he was framed and attacked by domestic political enemies. He is honest, conscientious, beneficial and harmful, determined to reform, develop the economy and care about people's livelihood. The famous phrase "It is difficult to live and die for the country, but it is difficult for every cloud has a silver lining to escape" expresses his determination to serve the interests of the country and the nation at the expense of lofty thoughts and feelings. This noble patriotic feeling, regardless of personal gains and losses, is the spiritual source for the Chinese nation to survive through hardships and is still widely praised by people.

Lin Zexu is a thinker with a world vision and a pioneer of China's modern enlightenment thought. He paid great attention to the understanding and research of the external world, and first put forward the idea of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners". Fan Wenlan, a famous historian in China, commented that Lin Zexu was "the first person who opened his eyes to see the world" in modern China. Modern China has always faced two major themes: one is to resist the aggression of foreign powers and defend national sovereignty; The second is to overthrow feudal rule and seek the road to prosperity in line with the world trend. Lin Zexu enjoys a lofty position and is respected and widely praised by later generations, largely because he is at the forefront of his contemporaries in understanding and handling the two major historical themes of modern China. Today, we commemorate Lin Zexu, that is, to inherit and carry forward Lin Zexu's patriotism, reform and enterprising spirit and diligent work for the people.
