In fact, I saw it a long time ago, and I only remembered it recently when I saw the story of the political clique of the Hunan Army in the late Qing Dynasty.
In his later years, Zeng Guofan encountered a very difficult matter: Cixi asked him to deal with the Tianjin lesson plan. This is a bad thing that no one can handle. Cixi originally asked Li Hongzhang to replace him, but Li Hongzhang said that the illness delayed for two months. It should be for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the Qing government, Zeng Guofan made a solution of favoring foreigners, severely punishing the people of his own country, paying hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and sending a diplomatic mission to France to apologize. As a result, Zeng Guofan was not only reprimanded by the imperial court, but also reviled by the people. His previous reputation was ruined, and he himself died of depression soon after.
Li Hongzhang went to Russia as an ambassador. In order to induce him to sell more national interests on behalf of the Qing government, Russia not only complimented him, but also bribed him. Although Li Hongzhang also knew the tricks of the Russians, he still used it very well. But in the eyes of the Russians themselves, they despised the Chinese represented by Li Hongzhang, which can be seen from Pushkin's related works. Pushkin is a relatively progressive proletarian writer and yet so, how can the evil and greedy Tsarist Russian government deserve it?
There is a relatively upright person in the Hunan Army, who has a good reputation not only in the official circles but also in the folk. Not only has nothing to do with betraying the country, but also as a national hero self-funded and brought his own army to recapture Xinjiang. That is Zuo Zongtang. The person Zuo Zongtang admired most in his life and who entrusted him to pay attention to the situation in Xinjiang was Lin Zexu. In order to safeguard national interests, Lin Zexu banned opium in Guangdong, but Cixi was forced to investigate and deal with it under the threat of the British.
Ah, the Americans who put pressure on Egypt for the sake of national security are called loyalty to duty, and the Americans whose conscience finds violation of the organizational system are called human rights and conscience. What about the Egyptians? Seems corrupt and incompetent. Are government officials who help Americans persecute their own people really like dogs?
In fact, the film was made by an American.
