Version
Yao Ming known as Big Yao is a living legend in my heart.
As a player, he was loved by big fans both at home and abroad and achieved an amazing achievements.
He played for Houston Rockets(休斯顿火箭队) in the United States for eight years. He was selected in the NBA All-Star Game(NBA全明星赛) eight times. He was inducted(使正式加入[荣誉组织]) to the NBA Hall of Fame(NBA名人堂), the highest honor in the sport.
He is a person who never gives up .He was looked down upon by other players, who thought it was impossible for Asian people to play basketball well. He had language barrier(障碍) in the first years.
He devotes himself to volunteer work and to the nation. He is an ambassador(形象大使) of the NBA in China. He is an ambassador of wildlife protection. He donated 2 million dollars to Wenchuan earthquake. He founded “Yao Ming Foundation” to help rebuild schools and provide educational opportunities for children. He took part in lots of activities to appeal for wildlife protection.
Just as once said“Trying hard does not necessarily mean success, but if one stops tying, he is bound to fail.”
