Here’s another translation by Raymond of some of the key points from an article that appeared today on sina.com. It’s great to see that Raymond got props from sina.com in this article! Thanks again for the great work, Raymond!
1. Every morning, Yao Ming will show up to the training court of the National Sports Bureau. Beijing may be sunny, cloudy or rainy, but Yao Ming was always there punctually for his rehabilitation.
2. The national team is currently away in Europe for its exhibition matches/tournament. So the dormitory at Tiantan Apartments is very quiet at night time, and Yao Ming just indulged in his virutal war games over the computer.
3. But every morning, he still shows up punctually in the stadium and works on his own rehabilitation. So other than some public relations or charity activities, his daily life is just centered there between his room in Tiantan Apartments and the stadium in the National Sports Bureau.
4. The world just craves for every single move and news about Yao Ming. Ever since his foot injury in Utah on April 11th, he sort of disappeared from the media limelight. The news clip outside of Houston’s Memorial Hermann Hospital (even though it did not have Yao Ming in it) filmed by the Shanghai Sports TV had been repeated over and over on TV. The latest news on July 21 about Yao Ming relayed from Reuters has lingered on ESPN headlines for the past week.
5. And on the official Yao Ming fan forum, a certain net fan, Raymond, had created a dedicated thread to gather all information/updates on Yao Ming’s summer activities, and has become one of the heaviest hit threads (over 30,500 hits) in the recent months, receiving over 33 pages of fans’ responses.
