Features: Lai En-jue was a patriotic general and hero during the Opium War. In 1838, the British were smuggling opium along the coast of Guangdong. Governor Lin Zexu ordered Lai En-jue to lead warships to control the waters of Kowloon Bay. In July, Captain Elliot led five ships in a sudden attack. Lai En-jue responded with his fleet, causing heavy casualties among the British, who then retreated to Tsim Sha Tsui. This book, written by the descendants of Lai En-jue, vividly portrays this "General of Reviving Valor."
