Lin Tse-hu, also known as Lin Zexu, was a prominent Chinese scholar and official during the Qing Dynasty, born in 1785. He is best known for his strong opposition to the opium trade in China and his role in the events leading up to the First Opium War (1839-1842). Lin implemented strict measures to suppress opium use, including the destruction of opium stocks in Canton, which ultimately led to conflict with Britain. His legacy is celebrated in China for his patriotism and efforts to promote moral integrity and social reform.
