Once upon a time, a group of people lived in a house. These people are brave, hardworking and clever. Under the leadership of the family, they follow the family rules and work hard.

So they gradually expanded the scale of the house, and the decoration in the house became more and more luxurious, and everyone felt happy. Neighbors also envy the family, and they make friends with their families one after another, let their own people live in this family and learn the virtues of this family.

Living in this old house with a history of thousands of years, the family has changed from generation to generation. Suddenly, someone ordered all the doors and windows to be closed, so that the air wouldn't circulate, and the people in the room gradually fell asleep, dreaming that "Lao Zi is the best in the world". At this time, someone rushed in from the outside and robbed the house. The people in the house also stupidly asked where it came from.

On the one hand, these intruders wantonly rob valuable things in the house, destroy things that can't be taken away, and work hard to hurt people living in the house; On the other hand, the doors and windows were forcibly opened to let the fresh air outside the house enter the house, so some sensitive people in the house gradually woke up.

Looking at the dilapidated home, these people are determined to save the house. The first person suggested that only the interior decoration of the house was needed, and this person was Kang Youwei. The result is, of course, that the rickety house is not reinforced; The second person thinks that the house should be torn down and rebuilt. This man is Sun Yat-sen, but the result is also a failure, because the rebuilt house has no foundation.

The third person thinks that not only should the house be demolished and rebuilt, but also the foundation of the old house should be completely eradicated and the foundation of the newly built house should be firmly laid. As a result, this man led a large part of people who wanted to defend their homes in the house to successfully build the house-this is China!

Lin Zexu, who led this struggle, became a national hero, and this activity became the fuse of the Opium War.
