Chinese SLA Detailed Study - Need some help

[Douglasphung]

I am doing 郑和 (Zhèng Hé) as my detailed study topic. Anyone know Zheng He well please tell me some useful information, eg. What 3 aspects to write. Any good quotes, book, films, reference. Just anything related to him. Please help, thanks.

The 百家讲坛 series is great:

Also if you can get your hands on this book it's great, has everything from his 生平 to 对社会的影响：

I think you should organise your three main subtopics like this　(ask your teacher too to help with deciding)：
1. 生平+早期生活
2. 郑和下西洋 （Like how and why he did it, and what did he do)
3. 郑和在国内外的遗迹/在国内外的影响 (pretty much how his actions impacted relationships, what did he achieve etc.)

I think 郑和 is a really good topic to do! Good luck!!!
