Alex Tizon Quotes

A Month Before The Treasure Fleet's Maiden Voyage, At The Age Of Thirty-four, Zheng He Commissioned An Epitaph Inscribed On A Stone Pillar Over His Father's Grave In Yunnan Province. He Worshiped His Father, Who Had Died In Battle. The Epitaph, One Of Only Three Known Testimonials From The Admiral, Described His Father's Character:

'He Was Content As An Ordinary Commoner, But He Was Brave And Decisive In His Ordinary Life. There Was No One In This Community Who Did Not Look Up To Him. When He Encountered The Unfortunate, Including Widows, Orphans, And Others With No One To Rely On, He Routinely Offered Protection And Aid. He Cherished The Bestowal Of Extraordinary Favours. By Nature, He Was Fond Of Doing Good.'

This Revelation Of A Softer Version Of Manhood As The Ideal In Much Of Asia Provided Another Piece Of The Answer To The Question Of How Westerners Came To Perceive Asians As Less Masculine.
