Meeting Zheng He in the Sea: the Unveiling of the History

To help commemorate the 600th Anniversary of Zheng He's great voyage, the Tong Xin publishing company has printed a book -- Meeting Zheng He in the Sea.

During the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Zheng He commanded a fleet of Chinese ships whose mission was to explore the world on behalf of the Ming emperor. This book is aimed at informing people as well as raising awareness of the importance of these voyages in Chinese and world history.

Besides some basic knowledge of Zheng He' voyage, Meeting Zheng He in the Sea also presents readers with a unique view of some historical stories rarely known by people.
