本书是研究中国人民反帝斗争,特别是鸦片战争时期的重要参考资料。40年前,我馆成立伊始,即组织人力搜集资料,1955年由馆员杜定友执笔,写成《广东人民在三元里抗英斗争简史》征求意见稿,极得时人赞许,中国近代史研究所还征得我们同意,将《简史》的重要部分,移载于该所主编的《中国近代史资料》。 This book is an important reference material for studying the anti-imperialist Chinese people’s struggle, especially during the Opium War. 40 years ago, at the beginning of the establishment of our museum, we organized manpower to collect information. In 1955, Du Dingyou, a librarian, wrote the draft for solicitation of “A Brief History of Guangdong People’s Struggle against Sovereignty in Sanyuanli.” The Institute also sought our consent to transfer an important part of “Brief History” to the “Modern Chinese Historical Materials” edited by the Institute.
