姚明不仅仅是一位杰出的球员,他还是一面公益事业的旗帜。这些年来,不论是关心智障人士还是助力奥运、世博,从支援抗震救灾到保护野生动物,再到支持环保事业,姚明时时处处表现出一个“公益人”的良好形象。“小时候我就听老师和父母说要助人为乐,做好人好事,只是那个时候兜里没有多少零花钱,我不能捐钱,只能做好事。到了休斯敦后,参加过很多这样的社区活动,把大家汇集到一起,很有成就感。比如像我所了解到的国外的公益事业,他们就是更强调这种细水长流,日常的投入,”姚明继续补充道,“生活本来就是一场挑战,当你一出生,你面前就充满挑战,你需要学习如何说话、如何走路、如何去上学、如何自己起床穿衣服。挑战无处不在,当你投身篮球事业的时候更是充满挑战。当你老了,不能像过去那样行动自如,这也是一场挑战,甚至在你更老一点的时候,你可能不得不依赖别人来帮助你,但是你也必须学会面对。”对姚明来说,尽管今年的姚基金慈善赛因故停办,但显然,他仍是看好慈善义赛这种方式。他说:“我认为慈善赛是一种针对所有群体的有效方式,不仅孩子们喜欢,大人们也喜欢。各类体育项目都是人类社会中重要的一部分,用这样的形式吸引大家去关注慈善,能把人们吸引过来。相对来说,这比简单的宣传效果要好很多。” Yao Ming is not only an outstanding player, he is also a banner of public welfare. Over the years, whether it is concerned about people with intellectual disabilities or helping the Olympics and the World Expo, from supporting earthquake relief to protecting wildlife and supporting environmental protection, Yao has always shown a good image of “public interest person.” When I was young, I heard the teacher and parents said that to help others, good people, but that time there is not much pocket money, I can not donate money, can only do good .In Houston, participated in many such community activities , Bring everyone together, very great sense of accomplishment.For example, as I have learned of overseas public welfare, they are more emphasis on such a steady stream of daily input, “Yao Ming continued, ” life is always a Challenge When you are born, there are challenges in front of you, you need to learn how to speak, how to walk, how to go to school, how to get yourself up and get dressed. Challenges are everywhere, and when you get involved in basketball, it’s even more challenging. You are old and you can not act as you did in the past. It is also a challenge. Even when you are older, you may have to rely on others to help you, but you also have to learn to face it. “For Yao Ming Although this year’s Yao Foundation charity game was closed for some reason, it is clear that he is still optimistic about the charity race this way. He said: ”I think charity is an effective way for all groups, not only children but also adults.All kinds of sports are an important part of human society and attract people to pay attention in this way Charity, people can be attracted to it, relatively speaking, this is much better than simple publicity.
