Prompt: Visualize an image split into two parts: on one side, depict British merchants or ships trading opium, surrounded by wealth and prosperity symbols like coins or opulent items. On the other side, portray the Chinese government or officials struggling to contain the opium trade, trying to stop the flow of the drug into their country, perhaps through the confiscation or destruction of opium crates.In the middle, create a visual representation of tension and conflict, symbolized by opposing forces or barriers between the two sides. This image aims to illustrate the fundamental cause of the conflict—the profitable opium trade for the British contrasted with the Chinese efforts to suppress it, emphasizing the stark differences in interests that led to the escalation of tensions and ultimately the conflict between the two nations.
