On November 15, 1839, Daoguang, Lin Zexu was appointed as the imperial envoy. The coming year of 1839 was the most important year in the history of the smoking ban and the most glorious years for Lin Zexu in his life.

On March 10, 1839, Lin Zexu arrived in Guangzhou after a two-month journey. Thousands of people crowded both sides of the Pearl River, everyone vying to see the imperial envoy. The whole of Guangzhou was waiting and listening to the imperial envoy's voice. Lin Zexu's answer was to post two notices "Receipt of Submissions" posted outside the camp gate the next day, stating that the imperial envoy came to Guangzhou for the purpose of investigating the Haikou incident. Another "Customs and Defense Notice" is tantamount to the first declaration of the imperial envoy's trip, and it is the precursor to taking anti-smoking actions. This announcement was Lin Zexu's first public appearance as an imperial envoy to Guangzhou officials, people, and foreigners. It not only once again advertised the world's cleanliness, but also served to control an extremely complex situation. Lin Zexu's diary records that he lived in Yuehua Academy that day.

On March 18, 1839, Lin Zexu issued two edicts.

On March 19, an order was issued to prohibit foreigners from leaving Guangzhou.

On March 21, an order was issued to surround the business building.

On March 22, he ordered the arrest of British opium dealers.

With the arrival of British Commercial Supervisor Yi Lu in China, the conflict naturally shifted to him. On the day of his arrival, Lin Zexu ordered all foreign ships anchored on the Pearl River to seal their cabins, blockade the commercial buildings that night, and evacuate them. All servants and Chinese employees. But Yilu was a complete gangster. When faced with Lin Zexu's orders, he went back on his words and resorted to despicable tactics such as roguery, blackmail, deception, and lying. Yilu was cunning, but he was no match for Lin Zexu. On March 28, he presented Lin Zexu with "Yilu obeyed the order and submitted 20,283 boxes of cigarettes."

From the time Lin Zexu arrived in Guangzhou on March 10, 1839, to the time when Yilu was forced to agree to hand over all opium on March 28, it took a total of 18 days, which fully illustrates the first round of Lin Zexu’s opium collection. victory.

After discussing with Deng Tingzhen and others, Lin Zexu made impeccable instructions and arrangements for the collection location, acceptance, escort, storage, care, and guarding.

On April 10, Lin Zexu, Deng Tingzhen and Deng personally went to Humen to inspect various preparations before the seizure.

The collection began on April 11, and Lin Zexu personally supervised the entire collection process.

On May 18, after 34 days of operation, the police confiscated 19,187 boxes of tobacco and 2,119 bags, with a total weight of 1,188,127 kilograms.

During the days of confiscation, Lin Zexu supervised this complex process without any delay. Working day and night, meticulous and without any mistakes.

On June 3, the 23-day opium burning in Humen, under the command of Lin Zexu, declared to the world the determination of the Chinese nation not to succumb to aggression. The elimination of opium in Humen is an unprecedented feat in human history. The elimination of opium in Humen shows the unparalleled great image of the Chinese nation and is a victory in the fight against foreign aggression. Lin Zexu was of course the organizer, commander and completer of this incident. In this sense, he has become a historical giant without any shame.

Before the destruction of opium in Humen, Lin Zexu learned that in the past, when opium was burned with fire, the opium oil seeped into the soil. Some people dug out the soil and refined it into tobacco paste. Therefore, he sent people to Humen Beach to Dig two large ponds, each 15 feet long and wide, and fill them with sea water. Then put the opium into the ponds, soak them thoroughly and put lime in them. Then open the culvert and let the opium powder leak into the vast sea.

150 years ago, Britain was the largest imperialist country in the world at that time. He continued to crazily plunder colonies around the world, and also attempted to use opium to open the door to China.

Guangzhou is a drug trafficking center for foreign cigarette dealers. In 1838, when the local government of Guangzhou executed a Chinese opium dealer, British cigarette traders came out to obstruct it, arousing the indignation of the people of Guangzhou. In February 1839, more than 10,000 people demonstrated in front of a hotel where foreign people lived to denounce the crimes of foreign cigarette dealers interfering in China's internal affairs.

In March 1839, Lin Zexu arrived in Guangzhou, and the anti-smoking movement began rapidly. On the one hand, he stepped up the rectification of coastal defense and strictly controlled the cigarette dealers; on the other hand, he ordered foreign cigarette dealers to hand over opium.

Lin Zexu said in a notice to foreign cigarette dealers: "If opium continues for a day, this minister will not return." Due to Lin Zexu's firm attitude and powerful measures, coupled with the support of the people, foreign cigarette dealers were forced to surrender. More than 20,000 boxes of opium were sold.

Lin Zexu ordered the opium to be publicly destroyed in Humen, and led senior and junior officials to personally supervise it. He ordered the opium to be put into two large dug ponds, and brine was put into the pond. After the opium was soaked for half a day, quicklime was added, and the quicklime water was boiled to destroy the opium. After 23 days, all the seized opium was destroyed. This is the world-famous "Humen Smoking".

The just action of eliminating cigarettes has won the support of the broad masses of the people. Tens of thousands of people watch it every day at Humen Beach, and they all applaud and applaud. Seeing this, foreigners also expressed admiration for Lin Zexu's decisiveness in banning smoking.

Humen destroyed 2,376,254 kilograms of opium.

The significance of the opium eradication in Humen

[Edit this paragraph]

The opium eradication in Humen is a glorious page of anti-imperialism in my country’s modern history. The trigger for the Opium War. After the British launched the Opium War, Lin Zexu was dismissed from his post and investigated. He was a national hero in the early days of my country's Opium War.

Humen Monument to the Smoking of Opium

[Edit this paragraph]

Before the founding of New China, the commander of the Humen Fortress had erected a high monument at the place where the cigarettes were sold out. A one-meter-long monument to the "Place where Lin Wenzhong sold cigarettes". However, there is no one to manage it, and the entire site of the tobacco burning pond is overgrown with weeds and deserted. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to commemorate the awe-inspiring feat of destroying opium in Humen and commemorate Lin Zexu, a great national hero, the party and government established the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall in 1957 on the former site of the opium burning pool. The "Lin Zexu Monument" was erected. In 1972, due to well-known reasons, the "Lin Zexu Memorial Hall" was renamed "The Opium War Humen People's Anti-British Memorial Hall" and the "Lin Zexu Monument" was changed to "The Opium War Humen People's Anti-British Monument". This is undoubtedly inconsistent with the original intention of building the museum. Therefore, in 1985, it was renamed "Humen Lin Zexu Memorial Hall". In order to better collect and study cultural relics and materials on the history of the Opium War, protect the sites of the Opium War, and educate people on patriotism and excellent national traditions, another museum was added. It is called "Opium War Museum" (now there are two museum names, one team and one museum location). In 1987, the Dongguan Municipal People's Government took over the Shajiao Fort and Weiyuan Fort from the Navy, and established the Shajiao Fort Management Office and Weiyuan Fort Management Office respectively, which were managed by the museum. Subsequently, in 1989, the original monument was demolished and the "Humen Opium Destruction Monument" was erected, which was a combination of a bronze statue of Lin Zexu and a granite lying stele.

During the Daoguang period (1820-1850), the Qing government issued many edicts to curb the spread of opium. However, the amount of opium trafficked into China was still increasing year by year. In June 1838, far-sighted people in the Qing government, represented by Lin Zexu, wrote letters requesting a ban on smoking. Lin Zexu pointed out in his memorial to Emperor Daoguang: The proliferation of opium would leave "the Central Plains with few soldiers capable of defending the enemy, and no silver to spare." There is no silver left to use as military pay)”. Lin Zexu and other ministers made Emperor Daoguang aware of the seriousness of the problem and sent Lin Zexu to Guangdong to ban smoking.

Supplement: In December 1838, Emperor Daoguang appointed Lin Zexu as the imperial minister to go to Guangdong to ban opium. Lin Zexu, together with the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Deng Tingzhen, the Navy Admiral Guan Tianpei and others, arrested cigarette dealers, rectified the coastal defense, ordered foreign businessmen to hand over opium, and burned more than 20,000 boxes (about 1.2 million kilograms) of opium from British and American merchants in Humen. After the opium eradication in Humen, British commercial supervisor Charles Elliot requested the British government to take military action against China in order to maintain the opium trade with China. In response to the unreasonable demands of Yilu and British opium traffickers, the British government issued a letter of challenge to China. In this letter of challenge, the British government distorted facts and fabricated reasons for invading China.

After the Opium War, due to the defeat of the Qing government, the Treaty of Nanjing was signed, promising to cede Hong Kong to the United Kingdom and pay an indemnity of 21 million taels of silver. Until 1997, he served under the orders of the United Kingdom. In 1999, Hong Kong finally returned to the motherland.
