“Opium Wars” reveals the complex struggle between desire and control, where human longing becomes a battleground of freedom and dominance. It exposes the paradox of surrendering to intoxicating forces that dull yet awaken consciousness. The title reflects an enduring conflict—external wars that mirror inner battles of attachment and resistance. This tension between seeking escape and confronting reality highlights the heavy cost of chasing illusions that imprison the spirit while pretending to offer liberation and peace. —
