According to the official micro signal of Shanghai Jiaotong University, on the morning of July 8, Yao Ming also spoke at the graduation ceremony as a graduate representative.

Yao Ming, who has always been humorous, drew laughter at the beginning. "Seeing that everyone here is full of energy, you won't stay up late to watch the World Cup-football is not as good as basketball, right?"

Yao Ming thanked his parents. "It was your's insistence, even stubbornness, that made me make a promise before I entered the CBA professional arena at the age of 17. I must return to school after my career as an athlete and finish my college studies. Without this seal-like promise, I thought about ending it more than once in my years at school. Through this process, I also believe that the process of learning is more important than the result. "

"Of course, I should thank you for letting me finish college instead of writing. It should be that there was no such convenient computer typing and printing at that time, and the most skilled operation of using a computer before I entered school at 201was just the right mouse button ASDQWE left button. " He added.

As a graduate, Yao Ming said to his classmates, "Today we are about to enter the society, and everyone is looking forward to a bright future. At a suitable stage in the future, try to combine your future with society. Because only in this way will we give ourselves more space to explore. This society can be big or small, it may be a group, or it may just be a small family. In any case, we will gradually learn to take on more responsibilities than personal responsibilities. The future is yours', please allow me to apply a famous saying on the basketball court more than ten years ago. Believe me, when a person is 38 years old and it takes seven years to graduate, he knows what he is talking about. "

Yao Ming retired on 20 1 1 and entered Shanghai jiaotong university, majoring in economic management.

Due to the busy training and competition during his career, Yao Ming has a weak foundation. However, Yao Ming showed the same perseverance in school as on the court from busy making up lessons to enjoying the learning atmosphere.

Yao Ming said, "Learning is to enrich myself better, so I have a strong motivation. When I came to school, I not only brought my own thoughts, but also had a collision of thoughts in communication with others. "
