我原以为自己从海军装备部部长岗位退下来后,参与郑和研究在国内也称得上是个积极的业余爱好者,可对比了英国人孟席斯的研究工作,我感到汗颜。 原为英国潜艇长的他,用十余年时间全身心地投入中国郑和航海史的研究,居然发现郑和是世界上最先进行环球航行者,从而否定西方人最先发现新大陆,如果属实,那么必将改写世界文明史。这不能不让我惊讶与敬佩。 I thought I was ashamed of being amateur amateur after I stepped down from the post of Minister of the Navy’s equipment department. I am ashamed to participate in the research of the British Menzies. Formerly British submarine chief, with more than ten years devoted himself to the study of China’s maritime history, actually found Zheng He is the world’s first global voyagers, thus denying Westerners the first to discover the New World, if true, Then it is bound to rewrite the history of world civilization. This can not but surprise me and admire me.
