Raymond has translated two interviews that Yao gave regarding his thoughts of his tour of the earthquake region.

Here’s the one that appeared on Sohu Sports. A couple of inches below that one is the translated interview that he gave to Titan Sports.

On another note, Yao’s house in Houston was damaged a bit from Hurricane Ike. It lost water, electricity and phone service; some windows were broken, and the fence around his house was destroyed by fallen trees.

According to Yao, his wife Ye Li got back to Houston for the new semester at the University of Houston, and she had to go to another friend’s home to recharge the batteries on her mobile phone in order to call Yao. It is estimated it will take at least 1 week for the electricity to come back at his house.
