While he announced his retirement in Shanghai just yesterday: July 20,2011, needless to say, he is not only a star in China, bur also a noted star abroad. It is him who made increasingly number of Chinese keep an watch eye on NBA, and it is also him make us know Huston Rockets. He makes the whole world know about China and Chinese basketball skills. Besides his career as a basketball player, he is also frequently participated in many charity events. Though he is large in size, he is clever and humerous, he is one of the favorite stars in commercials.

Though he has made retirement announcement, he is still a giant in our mind. Yao Ming, we will not forget what you've done for basketball, for China and even the whole, never!
