No5. Choose a famous traveller or explorer that you are interested in.
A explorer I am interested in is 鄭和(Zhèng Hé). He was a general of China in 15th century. He was a great captain of a convoy and traveled to a lot of place. Officially he is supposed to have traveled up to west coast of southern Africa, but recently a British man published a theory that he discovered America continent and traveled around the world, in 1421, about seventy years earlier than Columbus's.
He is not famous and his achievements are not appreciated properly in history, but he was one of greatest explorer.

Hey Keigo,
ReplyDeleteThere's a rumour that Zheng He discovered England in 1421, but because of a volcanic eruption nobody noticed...I think at that time the English navy consisted of a few dilapidated barges and preening Lords/chisselling shipyards and not a single dry dock.
Wish I could actually remember - read a history of the Senior Service last year!
Missing me? Hope you had a great Golden "Week"
