This is a biography of Zheng He, the 15th-century Chinese explorer navigator. Under the orders of Zhu Di, the Yellow Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He built a fleet of more than 300 treasure ships, some of which were bigger than football fields. He led seven expeditions to Southeast Asia, India, Arabia and Africa. Some historians believe Zheng He may have sailed to Australia, Europe and the Americas 60 years before Columbus set out to explore the New World. His sailing deeds may be the source of inspiration for the movie The Legend of Sinbad the Sea Hero. The whole book tells Zheng Hes life in plain language, especially the wonderful stories of his seven voyages to the West. The text is easy to understand, vivid and vivid, with a sense of picture, very suitable for children to read, and also suitable for foreign readers who are interested in Chinese history and Chinese stories.
