He was a Hui Chinese mariner, explorer, diplomat and fleet admiral, who made the voyages collectively referred to as the travels of "Zheng He to the Western Ocean". Two books called "1421: The Year China Discovered the World" and "1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance" are written by retired submarine commander Gavin Menzies positing that the Chinese(Zheng He's Armada explored the world before Europeans.

I enjoyed this video because I didn't know Chinese history. Today, I learned about some it.
I think Cheng Ho is very brave and precursor man at that time because there are many difficult and dangerous overcomed mading the voyages. Thanks! Oscar.
