Yao Still Shaken Over Chinese Earthquake

Posted by Jeff Sack under Main 

The Associated Press reported Sunday that Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is deeply troubled by the results of the earthquake in China, as well as the aftermath. Yao has already contributed 290 thousand dollars for aid to the earthquake victims, but he told reporters Sunday that he believes that there is a great possibility for further damage to his homeland. Yao said “Every day the number is going up. This morning it was over 62,000 people killed. We are very sad for the people we have lost in the earthquake. The best thing you can do for the government is to send money there and people there to help them. But we also need to warm them. They’re hurt mentally by the earthquake. I heard some kids cannot sleep in the middle of the night because they’re scared. Any kind of help, it’s more than just the money.” Yao will be in China later this Summer as he play for the Chinese National Team in the Olympics.

    62,000 people are dead no wonder he is troubled by it . I had no idea that it was that many.Yao is pretty good guy too for his contribution.
