Do you know who I admire? That’s Yao Ming. He is the tallest man of Chinese basketball players. Yao was born in Shanghai, on 12th September 1980. Yao is a famous sport star. He looks like very tall and strong. He is dream of many Chinese and he is also the first successful player who joined the NBA to play basketball.
Yao started playing basketball for the Shanghai Sharks as a teenager. He won a championship in his final year. He entered the NBA, and selected by the Houston Rockets.
The reasons why I admire him are that he is hardworking, kind and patriotic. Firstly, Yao was not good as others in NBA but he worked hard to improve himself. Now he is much stronger than before. Yao is also studying English in his free time. He has a private English lessons which improve his listening and speaking. You know, secondly, Yao is a “Charity Angle” who donated money to the “HOPE PROJECT” to help children in poor areas. A powerful 7.8 earthquake hit Sichuan in the southwest province of China, at least 30 thousand people were killed. Yao donated $100 million to people in the earthquake. Thirdly, from many years ago to now, the relationship between China and Japan is a sensitive topic all the time. A Japanese car company wanted Yao to accept a car advertisement. They would give Yao $20 million dollars. Yao just said “NO” and for no reason.
That's why I admire him so much and I dream to be a great person just like him. He is proud of China.
