Whatever claims are made about Zheng, we can at least state with certainty that the emperor entrusted him with a mission of enormous significance, and that he, as the right man in the right place at the right time, successfully completed that mission. This alone, given the extraordinary character of that mission, and the fact that it was unprecedented and never-to-be repeated, accounts for Zheng's enduring renown.
無論如何，我們至少可以這樣說，明成祖交給他一項巨大任務，他在天時、地利、人和的情況下，順利完成，加上任務本身的特殊與稀罕，屬前所未有、後繼無人，因此名留千古。
