(Li Huaying=LH, Celia Main=CM)

CM : Are there other famous Chinese navigators or is he the only one?
LH: He is the only one weve got evidence for.
CM: So there may have been others?
LH: We dont know. Thats because a later Emperor may have destroyed a lot of evidence of other voyages.

LH: Yes, I suppose so. When he returned from India he brought a giraffe for the Emperor as a present. So his ships must have been large.
CM: Some writers say that the ships could carry as many as 20,000 peo
