Features: When it comes to drugs, every Chinese person might first think of the 1839 Humen Opium Destruction and the 1840 Opium War. It was this war that opened the curtain on the modern history of China, which suffered from the bullying of Western powers. However, before that in 1837, Lin Zexu once submitted a memorial to Emperor Daoguang, passionately exposing the harm of drugs (opium) to China and warning: "If we still regard it with indifference, it will be decades later that the Central Plains will have no troops to defend against enemies and no silver to fill the treasury." Ancients knew this, let alone in today's increasingly advanced science, economy, and culture! To contribute even a small effort to the drug rehabilitation and prohibition work in modern China and the world is precisely the original intention of editing and publishing this "China Drug Abuse Survey." May this "China Drug Abuse Survey" be like a faint flame, illuminating some originally dim emotions and souls, and enabling the majority of people to cherish life and stay away from drugs.
