What did Lin Zexu and Humen's opium destruction leave for future generations?

The smoke in Humen stopped the spread of opium in China to some extent and had a positive impact on the people. Secondly, the anti-smoking campaign has greatly raised the awareness of the general public in China about the dangers of opium, made many people see the essence of opium trafficking from Britain to China, and awakened the patriotic consciousness of the people in China. After this incident, Lin Zexu, a hero who banned smoking, was honored as a national hero by the people of China. Its honesty and integrity are also respected by future generations. However, the "smoking ban in Humen" did not effectively rescue China from the quagmire, but accelerated the British invasion of China. The reason is that the anti-smoking movement directly harmed the interests of the British bourgeoisie, and the British government quickly decided to launch a long-planned war of aggression against China. "Humen destroyed opium" has also become the fuse for foreign powers to launch the opium war. From this point of view, the Opium War in Humen accelerated the pace of China's semi-colonization, and promoted the development of modern China history to a great extent. On the one hand, the smoke in Humen awakened many patriotic people of insight in China at that time, and they began to reflect on and reposition China's position in the world, no longer claiming to be a "kingdom of China". On the other hand, it also greatly suppressed the British opium trade in China, dealt a heavy blow to the British bourgeoisie's trade plunder in China, and showed the firm determination and awakening consciousness of China people to ban smoking.

In addition, this incident has also become an example of the world's anti-smoking movement. Many countries and regions in history have followed suit in light of their own conditions to curb the spread of drugs. Lin Zexu led the victory of the anti-smoking movement and safeguarded the dignity and interests of the Chinese nation. "Destroying opium in Humen" is an important historical example of China's opposition to imperialism in modern history, and it is also an unprecedented feat in human history. Historians believe that it shows the determination of the Chinese nation to resist foreign aggression, and it is of symbolic significance for the people of China to resist foreign aggression.
