Abstract
In modern China, there occurred three large-scaled opium-banning campaigns respectively in the reign of Emperor Daoguang, in the late days of the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty and during the period of the Republic of China. Although each of the three opium-banning campaigns did make some achievements, it failed to thoroughly accomplish the mission of banning opium completely. Hence the opium banned but spread and its harmful influence infected more and more widely.
