Image description

Chinese armed policemen stand guard as 150 kilograms of heroin is burned during Hong Kong handover celebrations June 15 in Humen, southern China. Young people from both Hong Kong and China participated in the mock opium-destroying ceremony, commemorating the acts of Qing dynasty imperial commissioner Lin Zexu who destroyed British opium in Humen in 1839, triggering the Opium War in which Britian eventually seized Hong Kong. The heroin was supplied by police who confiscated it in their anti-crime efforts.
