She is an orphan from Quanzhou Port and can speak seven or eight kinds of dialects. During Zheng He's voyage to the West, she was recruited as a translator. Along the way to the West, she discovered that the so-called "barbarian lands" actually had their own civilization. She taught the locals how to grow rice in Guli Kingdom, helped the king fix the calendar in Tianfang Kingdom, and cured the sultan's daughter in Mugudushu. Zheng He said to her: "You are more suitable to be an envoy than me."
