The story of the greatest Chinese sailor of all times: Zheng He, the great admiral.
The forge of a myth from his early years in rural Kunyang until he became one of the most powerful men on Earth.
In his long journey, adverse circumstances forced Zheng He to make a decision between family and personal happiness and the chase of the sacred mountain of Penglai. What he did not know is that these two apparently contradictory goals would be closely related.
Castration, loss of beloved ones, new encounters, and life in the Ming Forbidden City, palace intrigues, friendship, love, assassination, war, sailing adventures, and unexpected acquaintances accompany the works of this exceptional character.
A unique eunuch searching for a mythical land of gods and never ending riches. Zheng He fought against all odds to make his dreams come true; he was very well aware that success could mean the onset of China’s primacy in the world order from the 15th century onwards.
