‘On the outside, [the foreigners] seem intractable, but inside they are cowardly. . . Although there have been a few ups-and-downs, the situation as a whole is under control.’
In October 1839, a few months after the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, Lin Zexu, dispatched these confident words to his emperor, a cabinet meeting in Windsor voted to fight Britain’s first Opium War (1839-42) with China. The conflict turned out to be rich in tragicomedy: in bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration. Yet over the past 170 years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding myth of modern Chinese nationalism: the start of China’s heroic struggle against a Western conspiracy to destroy the country with opium and gunboat diplomacy.
Beginning with the dramas of the war itself, Julia Lovell explores its causes and consequences and, through this larger narrative, interweaves the curious stories of opium’s promoters and attackers. The Opium War is both the story of modern China – starting from this first conflict with the West – and an analysis of the country’s contemporary self-image. It explores how China’s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present; and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.

1840年英国远洋舰队进攻广东珠江口，标志着鸦片战争的爆发，这一事件被后世历史学家评价为具有重大意义的近代中国的转折点。中国人眼中的鸦片战争是一部充满屈辱和剥削的血泪史，是西方列强贪婪、自私、残忍、蛮横所导致。而西方世界把这件事评价为中国人狭隘、骄横、愚昧、自...
評分 評分 評分这是一部有点错位的书。蓝诗玲，这名字也太好听了吧，中国姑娘都鲜有起这么梦幻名字的，结果却是一位外国作家。同样的，开始以为是来看一看外国人、英国人是如何看待鸦片战争的，结果发现，这恰恰是一本给英国人看的，解释中国人是怎么看鸦片战争的书。所以我本来想看到的，恰...

评分發現kindle裏還存著這本，對曆史不同的詮釋。想想雖然現身處“和平年代”，19世紀鴉片戰爭、20世紀的二戰及文革，都對現在的中國意識文化形態産生瞭極大的影響，隻是我們樂得不自知。
