Placard held by the leftmost figure： Anti-Opium Admonitions
The opium trade can never coexist with the National Government empowered by the people. There is no public opinion in China that does not oppose opium; whoever advocates the legalisation of the opium trade, or shows submission to its evil influence, is a public enemy. The war against opium must admit of no compromise; any responsible government organ that tolerates opium for its own convenience, whether for long or short, commits an act of treason. To achieve the prohibition of opium, the National Government must adopt a unified national plan; yet before the warlords are overthrown and a civil government unifies the nation, anti-opium organisations must persevere in struggle, never give up, and maintain an unwavering policy of total non-submission.
——Excerpt from Mr. Sun’s anti-opium speech delivered in Guangzhou, 1924. Respectfully recorded by the National Anti-Opium Association of the Republic of China.

最左边人物举的标语牌：拒毒遗训

片鸦营业绝对不能与人民所赋予权力之国民政府两立

中国之民意未有不反对鸦片，苟有敌法律准许鸦片营业，或对鸦片之恶势力表示降服者，此前民意之公

对阿片之宣战，绝对不可让步，假定有政府机关负责，为自身之私便，对阿片下姑息之战，不问久暂，均属卖国之行为

欲达禁烟之目的，必需由国民政府采定全国一致实践之计划，但在军阀政府未打倒，民治未能统一全国以前，拒毒团体须奋斗奋斗，千万不可放弃，坚忍与不退缩之奋斗心，永远抱定彻底底不降服之政策政策
