A Short Intro to “Daddy Zheng” 鄭芝龍 - Formosa Files Season Four Finale

Next week we’ll kick off Season Five of Formosa Files! A huge
thank you to the Frank C. Chen Foundation for its continued
support of the program; without it, this podcast would not exist.





In S4 we talked a lot about the 1624-2024 anniversary of the
arrival of the Dutch, the new historical novel “A Tale of Three
Tribes in Dutch Formosa,” and other Dutch-in-Taiwan-related
things, and today we're staying on the topic with a short,
informal chat about Koxinga’s father.





We’ll cover his incredible story in future episodes, but this is
his basic bio, a simple telling of his epic win at the Battle of
Liaoluo Bay, and a few hints about his unhappy end.





THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! And thanks for following us on social
media, for the wonderful reviews and emails filled with high
praise… all very much appreciated.





In Season Five we’re going to turn it up with big names like CKS
(maybe Mao as well!), plus historic milestones such as the 2000
Presidential Election (and maybe the 2004 Chen Shui-bian shooting
as well!).





Catch you next week!
