Destruction of Opium at Humen Trailers

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

Reviews
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
