Story:
During the Qing Dynasty, the rampant opium trade caused great concern. Huang Juezi, a conscientious official, penned a powerful memorial to the emperor.
In his "Prohibition of Opium Memorial," he meticulously presented extensive data and evidence to illustrate the severe dangers of opium. He proposed stringent measures, including severe penalties for serious offenses, aiming to profoundly awaken society and officials to the gravity of the crisis.
His intention was to deliver a 'rouse the deaf and awaken the unhearing' message to combat the widespread apathy and ignorance regarding the devastating effects of the drug.
