  Interesting how the Chinese also call westerners Folangii, in Thailand we still use that term as an umbrella term for foreigners of western appearance. A popular belief of the origins of the term is Persian word &quot;Farangi&quot; which in turn means Franks (French)

  As The History Guy uses to say, every good story has pirates in it.

  &quot;Indeed, that was an apt and true reply which was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride, &apos;What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor.&apos; &quot; — St. Augustine, City of God

  From the Mongol invasions around 1220 to the Black Death 120-130 years later, I can understand why many people in Europe thought the world was ending.

  If you ever visit Shanghai, there&apos;s a diary written by an English naval officer, sitting under a glass case in the Shanghai History Museum (I&apos;m probably remembering the name wrong) - the page that&apos;s open is very entertaining, recording his experience meeting the Chinese at the docks and calling them liars. I&apos;m sure it&apos;s open to that page on purpose. Maybe you&apos;ll find that diary and read it sometime.

  I guess that with the limited technology, sailing off the coast during those ages were like &nbsp;gambling with your life every day. It gives me chills just to imagine what kind of mindset would have been built under such a condition, life.

  The pirates in Eastern coastal of china were mostly chinese, they were called wako(japanese pirates) by the Ming imperial court, but when Ming officials captured many of the fleets, 7 out of 10 are Chinese from Fujian, only 30 percent are real Japanese. zheng chenggong also called Koxinga, who conquered Taiwan, and his father is also from a Fujian pirate Zheng clan. Hakkanese people are good sailers.
