Though Mr.Zheng didn’t have high diploma, he has written a magazine by himself for the past 23 years first in 1985.This magazine is 《The King Of Fairy Tales》.This magazine has been printed over 100 million times. It influences generations of Chinese children. Mr.Zheng’s fairy tales have the common touch. There are no prince and princess, no beautiful castles or forests.
