Yao Ming Refuses to Be Toyota's Spokesperson; Contrasts with Zhang Ziyi's Nude Performance as a Japanese Geisha.

September 28, 2003, Harbin, Asian Men's Basketball Championship: China vs. Japan. Just like now, Yao Ming, having just finished his rookie year in the NBA, returned to the national team.
In that game, Yao Ming displayed an almost manic excitement. He gripped the ball tightly as it was passed into the paint, relentlessly pushing it towards the basket, refusing to let it pass out. His teammates quickly realized that Yao Ming was single-mindedly focused on slamming the ball over the opposing center's head. Everyone knows that in basketball, this is the most humiliating way to score, but that day, Yao Ming, with a tense expression, managed to slam the ball six times over the head of the Japanese center named Ito.
The Chinese team didn't play well that game; they won, but only scored a little over 80 points, probably because Yao Ming's selfishness affected the team's inside-outside coordination. Back at the hotel, Yao Ming was quite straightforward, apologizing profusely to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't play well today. I was only thinking about my own enjoyment and getting my revenge, and I didn't cooperate well with the team."
This incident was brought up because some players later said it was probably the first time they had felt Yao Ming's attitude towards the word "Japan." Two days earlier, on September 12th, Yao Ming's 25th birthday, and also the Asian Championship match between China and Japan, before Yao Ming could even utter a word, his understanding teammates had already made the decision for him: "Cut Japan first, then cut the cake." Having already completed his third year in the NBA and earned a $76 million contract for his next five years, Yao Ming has become more composed and calm. His simple individualism has transformed into a greater sense of responsibility towards the team. His 16 points, 13 rebounds, and especially 6 assists, along with the team's 33-point victory, were another genuine "crushing" performance. Importantly, this time there was no need for a pretentious apology.
Speaking of which, let me reveal a secret. Last year, Toyota repeatedly approached Houston Rockets owner Alexander, with one goal: to connect Yao Ming with Toyota as their brand ambassador. Toyota had long been a sponsor of the Rockets' arena, the Toyota Center, so the owner was naturally eager to facilitate the deal. Moreover, it's easy to imagine the lucrative advertising contract Toyota had prepared for Yao Ming before even starting. However, the outcome surprised everyone. Yao Ming offered no recourse, simply stating "No." He offered no explanation. Yao Ming
never discussed this with anyone. Some decisions don't need a reason, or even a weighing of pros and cons. He didn't want to prove anything, although it wasn't as simple as deciding whether to buy a Nissan television. Yao Ming
belongs to the world, but first and foremost, he belongs to China. As some friends who truly understand Yao Ming have said, compared to many others with similarly privileged lifestyles, Yao Ming understands better than anyone else that he is first and foremost Chinese.

Hollywood blockbuster *Memoirs of a Geisha* has finally wrapped filming. Chinese actresses Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh, and Japanese actor Ken Watanabe star in the film. Produced by Rob Marshall (of *Chicago* fame) and directed by Steven Spielberg, the film recently held a wrap-up ceremony in Japan.
Japanese actor Ken Watanabe stated that although most of the filming took place in Los Angeles, the most unforgettable scene was shot in the ancient city of Kyoto, Japan. When the last shot was completed, all the actors and crew were moved to tears, and within moments, two boxes of tissues were empty.
Zhang Ziyi plays the main role of the geisha Sayurinitta, and she has many memorable scenes with Watanabe, who plays a wealthy businessman. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters in North America and Japan at the end of this year.
(=1024) Why don't actresses
like Momoe Yamaguchi or Noriko Sakai star in "Chinese Comfort Women"? I believe Japanese directors wouldn't write such a script! And would famous Japanese actresses like Ziyi, Gong Li, and Michelle Yeoh star in "Chinese Comfort Women"?
They're making their own history look better, while we, on the other hand, are making this history even worse!
Since Zhao Wei's appearance in the military flag dress, which made her feel like she was being smeared with excrement, shouldn't Chinese artists strengthen their patriotism education?
The news just now also said that "Memoirs of a Geisha" is entirely in English!
I really don't understand what these famous Chinese "actresses" are trying to promote to the world—they dance Japanese dances in Japanese movies and speak fluent English.
As an artist, as someone now called a star, as a Chinese person who has stepped onto the world stage:
besides money, you also need the dignity of the Chinese people…
besides fame, you also need to protect the national character of China…
In the end, I can only say this: in the eyes of the Japanese, Zhang Ziyi is nothing more than a shameless piece of cheap trash!
