The Lin Zexu Memorial in Humen Town, Guangdong, China, is a site of great historical significance. It commemorates Lin Zexu, a Qing dynasty official known for his staunch opposition to the opium trade, which was a catalyst for the First Opium War. The memorial is located at the site where Lin Zexu famously destroyed over a million kilograms of opium in 1839, an act that is a key part of China's national history and is remembered for its role in the fight against opium importation.
