Humen Museum Destroys Opium Composition 600
It takes about an hour to get to Humen from Guangzhou by car. When you step into the gate of the museum, the first thing you see is the Lin Zexu Monument. Lin Zexu, a native of Fujian, was a great man in the Qing Dynasty. He organized and directed the famous "Humen Opium Suppression". Is our national hero. Turn left when you get out of Lin Zexu Monument, and you will arrive at the cigarette selling pool. There are two smoke pools, square and smaller than the swimming pool. There is a culvert next to the pool that leads to the sea. Dad said, don't look at that pool. 100 years ago, Lin Zexu destroyed more than 20,000 boxes of opium in these two pools, which is the famous Humen opium destruction. I asked dad why he destroyed it. Dad said opium was a drug, which was used by the British invaders to poison the people of China. After smoking opium, people will become addicted, skinny, unable to do anything, and the family will be ruined and the people will be ruined. I thought to myself: Why are these foreigners so bad? Lin Zexu is really great, and the opium is cooked so well.
When you get out of the smoke pool, you will come to the door of a three-story building that says "opium war museum". Entering the hall, there are many things in the showcase, including opium smoking sets, cannons, powder cans, broadswords, spears, guns and so on. One thing stands out. It is black and round, some like table tennis, some like shot put. The commentator's aunt said that this is opium, which is extracted from the plant of Doll Valley. It was mainly planted in India at that time. After the extraction, the British transported it to China, poisoning China people. Aunt said that after Humen destroyed opium, the British refused to admit defeat and launched the Opium War. The British defeated China with big ships and cannons, signed an unequal treaty, and robbed Hong Kong.
Walking out of the museum, everyone's mood is very heavy. If the country is not strong, someone will bully us, so we should study hard to make our motherland stronger.
