Image description

An armed policeman stands guard as 150 kgs of heroin is burned during handover celebrations June 15 in Humen, China. Young people from both Hong Kong and China participated in the mock opium-destroying ceremony, commemorating the acts of ancient Qing dynasty imperial commissioner Lin Zexu who destroyed British opium in Humen in 1839, triggering the Opium War. The heroin was supplied by police who seized it in their anti-crime efforts. CHINA OPIUM
