“We have braved the elements! Hurray!” raved the captain. In spite of the distressing weather, the tremendous
fleet had no damages at all. They rushed out of the fuzzy fog and victoriously arrived at the fabulously prepossessing
Australian continent. Seeing the kangaroos jumping ecstatically, the sailors felt a sense of console and gave the illustrious
Chinese tea-leaves to the Aboriginal people.
At length, the fleet travelled across many seas and oceans. Much to the captain's astonishment, they discovered a
colossal continent that nobody knew, which is known as the American continent nowadays. The sailors were
flabbergasted by the astonishing discovery. Primitive people were found everywhere and they drilled wood to get fire.
They caught fish manually. They climbed mountains and wade through rivers to obtain water. Unknown and
unexplored. There were prodigious abundance of fruit, crystal clear rivers and diverse wildlife. There were promising
resources all over!
The primitive people were immensely amiable, they gave many treasurable items to the sailors. The captain also
gave away many newfangled machines and precious silk products to them. A fabulous relationship between China and
the people of this island was budding beautifully.
This tradition of making new discoveries and new friendships continued every New Year’s Eve. The legacy of
The Grand-ships will never be forgotten.
