Mr. and Mrs. Yao Ming with their daughter
In December 2020, the famous basketball superstar Yao Ming posted a photo with his parents, wife and daughter on his personal social platform, and posted: In the blink of an eye, he is 40 years old, and the basketball journey is vivid. Thank you to your parents, thank you to your wife for accompanying you all the way.
Yao Ming is a world-renowned basketball superstar and a basketball talent that has never been encountered in a century. In fact, his congenital conditions are not good, when he was 8 years old, he lost his left ear, and he grew a pair of "knife-sharpened feet" and a short arm span. But Yao Ming, under the encouragement and cultivation of his parents, grew from a "stupid big man" who was not optimistic to the first person in Chinese basketball...
Yao Ming was born in Shanghai in 1980, his father Yao Zhiyuan is 2.08 meters tall, and was the main center of the Shanghai men's basketball team. Her mother, Fang Fengdi, is 1.88 meters tall and was once the captain of the Chinese women's basketball team. After the couple retired, Yao Zhiyuan was assigned to work at the Shanghai Maritime Safety Bureau, and Fang Fengdi entered the Shanghai Sports Research Institute.
Yao Ming's childhood
Yao Ming weighed 10 pounds when he was born, equivalent to the weight of two ordinary babies, and Fang Fengdi could be described as nine deaths when she gave birth.
Due to genetic influence, in 1986, when Yao Ming was in the first grade of primary school, his height reached 1.47 meters, which was a full head higher than the children in the class. Because of his superior height, Yao Ming is very inferior, introverted, and often bullied by his classmates. Many naughty boys who were shorter than him chased after Yao Ming and shouted "silly big ones." Yao Ming would not fight back, just shed tears.
At that time, Yao Zhiyuan and his wife's monthly salary added up to only more than 80 yuan, and the amount of food for a family of three was quite amazing. The family's income is basically used for "eating". When Yao Ming was in charge of his body, Yao Zhiyuan and Fang Fengdi saved themselves money, but tried to ensure that their son could drink fresh milk every day. Yao Zhiyuan specially entrusted a friend of the milk factory to get him a milk card.
Childhood Yao Ming (back row middle)
In 1988, when Yao Ming was in the third grade of elementary school, the fever reached 39 degrees, and Fang Fengdi took her son to the hospital. To quickly reduce the fever, doctors injected Yao Ming with an overdose of antibiotics. A few days later, Yao Ming's body temperature returned to normal, but because of drug allergies, he lost his hearing in his left ear.
My son was only 8 years old and became a disabled person who was deaf in his left ear. Fang Fengdi and her husband's hearts were broken. She said to her son with tears: "I'm sorry, it was your mother who hurt you." Yao Ming wiped his mother's tears: "Mom, don't be sad, many children are deaf in both ears." ”
The son's deafness has become the biggest regret and heart knot of Fang Fengdi and his wife. According to the policy at that time, Fang Fengdi and his wife were able to have another child, but in order not to let Yao Ming be wronged, the couple refused to conceive a second child and went all out to care for Yao Ming.
Years later, when Yao Ming grew into a basketball superstar, the knots in Fang Fengdi's and his wife's hearts were completely resolved.
Childhood Yao Ming
In fact, this is a medical accident, but Fang Fengdi and his wife are kind, coupled with a weak sense of law, and they have not held the hospital and doctors responsible.
Deafness in the left ear has brought great obstacles to Yao Ming's study and life. Because of his tall stature, Yao Ming sat in the last row of the classroom, unable to hear what the teacher was saying in class, and his grades quickly declined.
In 1989, Yao Ming learned that the Shanghai Xuhui District Junior Sports School recruited small basketball players with a monthly subsidy of 8 yuan, so he begged his mother to take him to register. Fang Fengdi knew that her son's physical fitness was very poor, and the road to basketball was not feasible, but she still took Yao Ming to the sports school. The reason why she wants her son to practice basketball is that she will be able to get extra points for her future studies.
Yao Ming and his parents
In view of Yao Ming's outstanding height, the sports school coach kept him behind. Since then, Yao Ming has been taking cultural classes at school while practicing basketball at the Junior Sports School. The monthly living allowance of 8 yuan was issued, and other small team members used this money to buy popsicles and snacks to eat, but Yao Ming gave it to his mother one cent a bit.
The son's excessive understanding made Fang Fengdi both happy and bitter.
In 1993, Yao Ming, who had just turned 13, soared to 1.96 meters tall. After the bone age test, his height can be longer. As a result, Yao Ming entered the Shanghai Sharks youth basketball team and became a professional basketball player.
He trained 10 hours a day, and Yao Ming lost 40 pounds in the first month, but his monthly allowance was only 10 yuan, and Yao Ming also gave this money to his mother.
Young Yao Ming
In 1998, Yao Ming was selected for the national men's basketball team, and the head coach at that time was Wang Fei. At that time, many basketball experts were not optimistic about Yao Ming, because in addition to his tall height, his other congenital conditions were very poor. Not only was he deaf and had a short arm span, but he also had a pair of "knife-sharpened feet", with long big toes and other toes obliquely born, which was easy to be stepped on on the field.
Years later, Wang Fei commented on Yao Ming's performance when he first entered the national team, saying: "At that time, his basic skills were very poor, his internal skills and physical fitness were also very poor, in addition to having a height of 2.26 meters, other shortcomings were very prominent. ”
At that time, the media and fans called Yao Ming a "stupid big man", meaning that he had no future.
Sure enough, at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Yao Ming was eliminated. He returned to his home in Shanghai, and the whole person was very lonely. Fang Fengdi enlightened her son: "The competition in the national team is too fierce, and you will play well in the Shanghai men's basketball team in the future, and strive to arrange a job after retiring in the future." ”
Father also advised Yao Ming: "Our innate conditions are here, don't think so far, your mother's idea is the most realistic, I think so." ”
Yes, I am deaf, or "knife and foot", don't expect to enter any national team. Anxin played in the Shanghai men's basketball team and strived to arrange a job after retiring in the future.
However, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the Shanghai men's basketball team, yao Ming is crazy to practice, sometimes practicing for twelve or three hours a day. On Sunday, the team was on vacation, and Yao Ming also went to the training hall to practice shooting from outside the 3-meter line. When Fang Fengdi and her husband went to pick up their son, Yao Ming was often so tired that he collapsed on the ground and could not stand up.
After more than 1 year of hard training, Yao Ming was reborn. In 1999, Yao Ming returned to the national team, and since then he has firmly occupied the position of the main center and become the absolute main force of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Yao Ming on the pitch
Because of deafness, Yao Ming had to sweat twice as much as his teammates. The shouts of the coach and the prompts of his teammates could not be heard, and Yao Ming remembered their gestures and determined what he was going to do next according to the footsteps behind him.
In 2002, Yao Ming was selected by the Houston Rockets of the NBA in the United States as a champion. Yao has been playing in the NBA in the United States for 8 years, earning the respect of his teammates and foreign fans. Yao Ming has thus become a world basketball superstar and a banner of Chinese basketball.

In order to accompany their son, Fang Fengdi and his wife also went to live in the United States. In order to find something for his parents to do, Yao Ming invested in opening a Chinese restaurant in the United States. In this way, during the holidays, he can go to the Chinese restaurant to help his parents and accompany them to dinner.
The filial Piety Yao Ming put all his income in the hands of his parents. It is reasonable to say that Fang Fengdi and his wife can live a very superior life, but most of their lives are frugal, they are still reluctant to spend money, eat, wear, use, and buy cheaply.
Yao Ming made up all kinds of excuses to spend money for his parents. In 2011, Yao Ming officially retired due to too many old injuries.
Yao Ming and Ye Li
He married basketball player Ye Li in 2007, and in 2010 he liked to be a father, and Ye Li gave birth to his daughter Amy.
After retiring from the army, Yao Ming entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University for graduate school and served as the head coach of the Shanghai men's basketball team. The son did not have time to take care of the family, and Fang Fengdi and Yao Zhiyuan often went to the son's daughter-in-law's house to help take care of the granddaughter and do housework for Ye Li.
Yao Ming's ankle has been injured five times and has undergone two major surgeries, and now when it comes to rainy weather, his ankle is faintly painful.
Especially in 2018, after Yao Ming turned 38, old injuries to his ankles often occurred. Fang Fengdi and her wife taught themselves massage at home, as long as the son was at home, the couple would rush over to massage for their son. Moreover, they will also ask acupuncture experts to come to the door and give Yao Ming acupuncture treatment.
Under the care of his parents, in the summer of 2019, Yao Ming's old ankle injury was greatly improved.
Fang Fengdi and Yao Zhiyuan played basketball when they were young, and they also had many old injuries on their bodies, but the couple actively exercised and exercised, trying not to get sick and not to add burden to their son and daughter-in-law.
In their view, when the son reaches middle age, there are old and young, and there is work pressure in the middle, and the parents have a healthy body, which is to reduce the burden for the children. Yao Ming and his parents understand each other and warm each other, which can be called the most harmonious and warm parent-child relationship.
In December 2020, Yao Ming was 40 years old. Looking back on his basketball journey, he was full of emotions: if there was no parental stimulation when he was a child, he, a disabled child who was deaf in his left ear, could not have had today. When he met such parents, Yao Ming felt that he was lucky.
Yao
At the beginning, the idea of Fang Fengdi and his wife was very simple, that is, to ask their disabled son to play well and be able to assign work in the future. It was this simple and poignant wish that made Yao Ming.
In the view of "Old Entertainment", Yao Ming's success is particularly encouraging and motivating for people with disabilities. In fact, the physical deficiencies are not terrible, as long as your spirit is not broken, optimistic and hardworking, the disabled can still do a vigorous career!
