This is a clever story told by Lin Zexu when he was a teenager.
Once, the teacher took the children to the lonely mountain to play and climbed to the top of the lonely mountain. The children were excited by the wind and waves.
The teacher wrote a couplet on the theme of "sea": "The sea is boundless, and the shore is boundless", so let the students make a couplet.
Not long after, a student first made a couplet: "When the mountain climbs to the top, I am the peak." He is Lin Zexu.

The destruction of opium in Humen put Sino-British relations in a state of extreme tension, which became an excuse for British aggression against China during the First Opium War.

According to the literature, he knows at least a little English and Portuguese, and is committed to translating western newspapers and books.
