Raymond reports that Yao had a relative easy day today on Monday. He spent the night in Mianyang yesterday, and this morning he participated in a CBA Hope Project and visited a school of the People Liberation Army located in the PLA region of Mianyang. He was joined there by Miao Lijie, a WCBA star, and other CBA officials.

The CBA donated a full set of basketball equipment and some other sporting equipment to the Bayi Canvas Camping School, and Yao Ming and Miao Lijie coached two teams of young kids.

They played two games: ball handling & passing between the legs, and a basketball relay between 2 kids. Yao’s team lost in both of the games, but he saved some face when his team beat Miao Lijie’s team in a basketball game.

After the morning visit, Yao Ming’s 2008 Sichuan Love Tour came to an end, and traveled 4-5 hours to return to Chengdu, at which time he returned to Shanghai.
