Lin Zexu was the first great patriot and outstanding national hero in China's modern history. We should learn from his indomitable spirit of risking his life for the motherland. He took the lead in understanding the world and studying the West, and became the leader in spreading western culture and promoting the spread of western learning in modern China. From the perspective of China's history of international law, he was not only the mainstay of upholding the principles of international law during the Opium War, but also the first person to introduce international law into China and the pioneer of modern international law in China.

Lin Zexu is not only a great national hero in the history of our country, but also an outstanding water conservancy expert. In his official career, he attached great importance to and worked hard to organize water conservancy projects, built seawalls in Zhejiang and Shanghai, and governed the canals, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Lin Zexu pays attention to the reality of water control, hands-on, and also attaches importance to disaster relief and poverty alleviation, all of which are the embodiment of his "people-oriented thought".
