Yao Ming is Sick

Yao Ming, who is no more than 23 years, has astonishingly become a hypertension patient, which is a disease prevailing among middle-and-old-aged people. "Every time when leaving the playground, I am out of breath with my feet heavy as leaded." When talking about his feelings, Yao Ming lost his smiles looking tired.

Yao Ming is Tired

As soon as the end of the NBA conventional matches, Yao Ming came bank to China and joined the Chinese Men's Basketball Team to prepare for Asian Basketball Championship. After the closed training in Qinhuangdao they took part in the mobile matches in the nine Chinese cities.

However, what makes him feel tired is not the matches and training but the social engagements. Yao Ming has sacrificed his private time and space. During his break, he has to accept numerous interviews, sign for his supporters and have pictures taken with them. He can meet his fans even in the toilet. When he stayed in hotel, he was so frequently disturbed by the servers and guards that he got an illusion of somebody's knocking at the door although nobody is out there.

Yao Ming Needs Rest

When becoming a famous brand, he has to attend continuously a series of commercial or business activities in his name only; when answering almost the same questions at various occasions, he has to make a performance, his unique "Yao Ming¡¯s humor", or he will be regarded as to have taken a perfunctory attitude; when having pictures taken with others, he has to force himself to smile, or he will be thought to be pompous. Yao Ming has long been tired of being made an excellent piece of goods "Yao Ming" by brand instead of a member of Chinese Men's Basketball Team.

On the afternoon of Aug. 21, Yao Ming got an extra rest of half a day, which is a glory for the members of the Team preparing for the Asian Basketball Championships and is the only protecting measure for Yao Ming taken by the Team.

The pressure from the matches, the disturbances from the media and fans, the participation to the commercial activities and the psychological burdens to keep his own

"good reputation", Yao Ming unavoidably become sick and tired and need rest. According to Yao Ming, he thought he could be able to play till he's 35 years old; however, he cannot go on playing any more when he is 30 according to the present situation.

Yao Ming's being taken as No.1 of the NBA new players, his entrance into the All-Star team and his satisfactory performance in NBA and so on and so forth have become the favorite topics. However, when we give thump up to the great influence and glory Yao Ming has brought to Chinese sports circle and even the whole China, when we are calculating on his tangible and intangible assets, we should also leave some private time and space for him to adjust his physical and mental situation, for he has brought laughter and enjoyment to all of us. He should not suffer from our excessive dote on him.

So, let's help Yao Ming.

I haven't met anyone that doesn't "suffer" when ill, or tired. But I think the problem is a lack of pure, unbridled, uncontrolled....

















Freedom.

Until he's allowed to be a U.S. citizen, he'll remain the "peoples' property" and treated as a machine and not a human.

Man it sounds like the Chinese are working the sh#t out of poor Yao. I bet he can't wait to get back to the United States in about 5 weeks. It seemed like he got more rest playing in the NBA.

How much time have you spent living in China ? Have you considered the point of view of peoples of other nations on how they think of the USA. Freedom is all relative, next talk to an educated African American about freedom, then you might know more of the BIG PICTURE.
