Monster (2023): When the Truth Is Not in the Telling but in the Seeing
Not every silence is empty. Some are filled with things too heavy for words.
Destruction of Opium at Humen
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, opium was packaged by British merchants as "Fu Shou Ointment" and sold to China, and countless people suffered greatly. Cigarette restaurants in Guangzhou are blooming everywhere, smokers flock to them, sinking corpses at the bottom of the river, selling children for cigarettes are common, and countless families are broken and people die. Lin Zexu (Yao Yao), the Minister of the Imperial Household, is ordered to go south to sell cigarettes, but he is subjected to repeated reprisals for his involvement in the black chain of government and business interests behind opium, assassins and human bombs
