林则徐是中国近代史上第一位民族英雄和爱国者,他不仅领导了中国历史上轰轰烈烈的禁烟运动——虎门销烟,指挥了抗英斗争,维护了国家主权和民族的尊严,而且与清王朝长期奉行的盲目排外闭关锁国政策不同,以务实的态度和作风开了了解西方情况、学习西方知识,并将之付诸行动的先河。 Lin Zexu was the first national hero and patriot in modern history in China. He not only led the vigorous campaign against smoking in Chinese history, selling cigarettes at Humen, directing the anti-British struggle, maintaining national sovereignty and national dignity, The long-standing policies of blind xenophobia and closed-door policy have opened up a pragmatic attitude and style to the precedent of understanding the western situation, learning western knowledge and putting it into action.
