Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

At the height of their power, infamous Caribbean pirates like Blackbeard and Henry Morgan commanded as many as ten ships and several hundred men. But their stories pale next to the most successful pirate of all time, who commanded 1, 800 vessels, made enemies of several empires, and still lived to old age. Dian Murray details the life of the fearsome Madame Zheng. Lesson by Dian Murray

There are so many interesting histories in China, instead of filming the palace drama, would it be great to film stories about the people.
#Hong Kong filmed the story of Zhang Bao in 1988, but with limited resources, it was a disaster. Truly hope one day China could film a great movie of Madame Zheng

Madame Zheng was no simple pirate, she was a naval super power. A warlord with deep recourses, and a strategist unmatched in combat. But overall, an administrator.
