Zheng He Walked a Little More That Day

History has too many regrets and imperfections. We often fantasize about whether the Qin Dynasty would continue to exist if Fusu had ascended the throne; if Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty had not become mediocre in the second half of his life, the Tang Dynasty could have gone further; if Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty had believed that Yue Fei would have avoided the tragedy of Yashan; if Zheng He had traveled more to the West and reached the European Age of Discovery, would we have started it; if Emperor Qianlong had become curious and yearning for the outside world when receiving the Macartney delegation, would the Opium War not have happened? These are the regrets of the Chinese nation. Today, when we read these histories, we feel sad, regretful and confused. Entering that era, there were no time travellers, and no history was spoiled. Just a small flash, think about another possibility of history, explore another road at the fork in the road. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
