林則徐（1785年8月30日-1850年11月22日），福建省侯官縣（今福州市區）人，字元撫，又字少穆、石麟，晚號俟村老人、俟村退叟、七十二峰退叟、瓶泉居士、櫟社散人等，是清朝後期政治家、思想家和詩人。 1811年林則徐（26歲）中進士，官至一品，曾經擔任湖廣總督、陝甘總督和雲貴總督，兩次受命欽差大臣;因為主張嚴禁鴉片及抵抗西方列強的侵略，在中國有"民族英雄"之稱
Lin Zexu was born in Houguan (侯官; modern Fuzhou, Fujian Province) towards the end of the Qianlong Emperor's reign. His father, Lin Binri (林賓日), served as an official under the Qing government. He was the second son in the family. As a child, he was already "unusually brilliant". In 1811, he obtained the position of advanced Jinshi (進士) in the imperial examination, and in the same year he gained admission to the Hanlin Academy. He rose rapidly through various grades of provincial service. He opposed the opening of China but felt the need of a better knowledge of foreigners, which drove him to collect material for a geography of the world. He later gave this material to Wei Yuan, who published the Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms in 1843. He became Governor-General of Hunan and Hubei in 1837, where he launched a suppression campaign against the trading of opium.
