A teacher in Keli Elementary School in Hong Kong claimed that he was in the secondary school of small schools that Britain launched a war to China in 1840 to eliminate opium.The incident triggered heated discussion, and the school then admitted that the content of the film was wrong and apologized.The teachers involved are not necessarily trained in history. However, the basic context of the Opium War, right or wrong should be distinguished by ordinary people, let alone a teacher of preaching taught?If he does not even have relevant knowledge, the school's teaching arrangements will obviously have problems and must be clearly explained; if the teacher deliberately distort history, then his ethics is extremely problematic and should be criticized.
The Opium War has profoundly affected the history of Hong Kong. It is the responsibility of every citizen to understand that this history. For the right and wrong, there must be accurate grasp, and it must not be vague.From this point of view, the teacher was not as good as mdash at all; mdash; he claimed that because the British found that many people in China smoked and smoked tobacco, this problem was quite serious, so in order to eliminate these items called lsquo; opium rsquo;This war.The implication is that Britain is not an invaders, but the party of justice.
From any perspective, Britain launched a war of aggression and no morality.After the Industrial Revolution, the British tried to open the Chinese market, but its hair fabrics, clocks, glass, and cotton fabrics from the Indian colonies were not in demand in China.Instead, Chinese tea, silk, and porcelain are very popular in the UK.In order to solve trade imbalances, some unscrupulous British merchants have leaned to Chinese opium mdash; mdash; a product that is easily addictive.
For China, the result of the influx of opium is not only the outflow of silver, but also triggers a crisis of people's livelihood and morality.When Lin Zexu described the Emperor of the Emperor Shuguang in 1838: How can the mainland paste, so yearning is so funeral?And the adsorbent, Fang Qi and friends quoted his companion, with the attractive addiction, the deeper the drowning, the more unscrupulous.俗 Playing with heart and returning to vulgarity is to strictly strictly the law.Obviously, the problems found that the problems were quite serious and hoped to destroy these items called lsquo; opium rsquo; not the British in the teacher's mouth, but China.
After uploading the clip, there are many anti -wisdom remarks that defend the teacher on the Internet, including you buy it, the place of people sells you than you, the British guy at the Pearl River Estuary sells opium at Kai Gonghai. No one is forced to buy it.There is no Hong Kong.These may be just because of the emotional remarks of dissatisfaction with the current China -Hong Kong government, but this should not be an excuse to reverse right and wrong.In any case, who is the Opium War, and who is right.The teacher made a low -level error. If you are not sophisticated, I am afraid that you should consider transferring career, and don't mislead the students anymore.If he is a personal political position referred to as a personal political position in the Internet speech, it is to lose morality, and you should no longer coach the whipping children.
