The 2.29-metre-tall basketball star Yao Ming, who played for the Shanghai Sharks and the Houston Rockets, donated $2 million for the victims of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan, China, which killed an estimated 68,000 people, and created a foundation to help rebuild schools. Yao Ming also campaigns for China to say no to shark-fin soup and stop the overfishing of these magnificent fish, and has spoken out against bear farming for bile, saying ‘bears are beautiful animals in nature; let’s love and care for them’.
