人与社会——航海家郑和
时文原创 Zheng He was one of the most famous explorers in Chinese history. He is still admired by people around the world today.
1 As a young man, he showed great wisdom and courage, which helped him achieve many great things later.
In 1405, Zheng He began his first sea voyage(航程) with a large fleet. 2 The fleet had more than 200 ships and over 27,000 men. They traveled to many countries in Asia and Africa.
During his seven voyages, Zheng He did not use force(武力) to take over other lands. 3 He sent gifts to local rulers and brought back foreign goods and culture to China. This helped build friendly relationships between China and other countries.
4 For example, he faced terrible storms and unknown dangers on the sea many times. But he never gave up. He always found ways to solve problems and keep his fleet safe.
Zheng He's spirit of adventure and peace is still valuable today. 5 We should learn from him and try to build a better world for everyone.
