Lin Ze-xu and Sacrifice to the God of Sea

林则徐是中国近代进步的思想家和伟大的爱国主义者,同时他也是一位虔诚的有神论者.他领导的轰轰烈烈的虎门销烟在中国历史上留下了光辉的一页,也为我们留下了不朽名篇《祭海神文》,向世界宣告了中国禁烟和拒毒的决心.

Lin Ze-xu is a progressive thinker and great patriot in the history of modern China, and is a devout theist at the same time. He led the splendid action of destroying opium stocks in Humen Beach, which is a glorious page in Chinese history, moreover, he left us a famous immortal literary piece, a Funeral Oration to the God of Sea, declaring to the world our Chinese people＇s decision to ban opium and refuse drugs.
