Some
Chinese
new
-
rich
like
eating
shark
fin
soup
because
they
think
it
shows
their
class
．
However, for the Chinese
NBA idol Yao Ming, doing so is unacceptable as the
practice has
led to the overfishing of
sharks
．
When Yao and his wife Ye Li got married
in 2007, they publicly announced that they would
not allow shark fin soup to be served
at their wedding banquet
．
Actually, Yao had been
saying no to shark fins since 2006, when he was
appointed as the
Goodwill
Ambassador for wild life
protection
．
Now, the 226 - cm big guy is resorting;
to his personal influence to encourage more to say
no
to eating the soup and to raise
awareness of protecting
animals
．
beings
．
They are not our
food,
．
Other celebrity athletes like Olympic
champions Li Ning and Kong Linghui are following
on
the heels of Yao, throwing
themselves into serving the public as Goodwill
Ambassadors for wild
animal
rescue
．
Recent
reports
about
Yao’s
retirement
have
saddened
tens
of
thousands
of
basketball fans both at home and
abroad
．
Yet Yao's
influence goes far beyond the basketball
courts
．
Yao
has engaged himself in charity and public welfare
services for quite a while
．
When the
devastating
8
．
0
－
magnitude
earthquake
hit
Wenchuan
in
southwest
China
in
2008
,
Yao
donated 2 million
yuan
．
“When I was a little
boy
．
my parents
and teachers told me to help
others and
to be a good man,
．
much
pocket
money
．
After
I
moved
to
Houston,
I
got
involved
in
quite
a
number
of
community
service
activities
and
I
felt
a
strong
sense
of
achievement
when
I
got
people
together,
．
Like
Yao,
newly
crowned
French
Open
champion
Li
Na
has
showed
her
willingness
to
donate
．
Li gave 480,000 yuan of her prize money
from the open, plus 20,000 yuan from her own
pocket,
to
a
local
nursing
home
in
her
hometown
．
Another
Chinese
sports
icon,
hurdler
Liu
Xiang, has also been actively
involved in charity for
years
．

B
Not
long
ago
the
movie
2012
came
into
screen
．
The
people
were
threatened
by
those
scenes
of
destroying
flood,
severe
earthquake,
terrifying
hurricane
and
constructions
representing human civilization
being destroyed and even swallowed by
disaster
．
Luckily,
they are just the
director' s imagination, but
the present
situation is not heading a positive
direction,
either
．
Take my own experience in Alaska as an
example
．
Once I
took a trip to the glacier
．
Along
the way there stood
signposts marking the snow lines of different
years
．
They
started from the
foot
of
the
mountain,
but
it
was
at
the
top
when
I
finally
saw
melting
glaci
ers
（融化的冰
川）
．
My heart ached seeing
the
beautiful
blue ice melting at every
second
．
Sad
but
true,
they
are
the
effects
of
global
warming
and
the
result
of
our
human
impact
．
Furthermore,
each
year
the
rising
sea
level
will
kill
56
million
people,
and
that'
s
about the population of the entire
Italy
．
According
to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising
like this, by the year 2050, some
islands and coastal cities including New York,
Shanghai, Tokyo
and Sydney will be
drowned in water
．
Our fortune is in our own
hands
．
It depends
on us to shape our future, to reduce future
human impact and find ways to form a
peaceful relationship with our
environment
．
Therefore,
it's time for
actions to be taken right
now
．
Contribute a little to energy saving by
using more
efficient light bulbs and
less hot
water
．
Let recycle become our habit by
thinking twice before
throwing
something away
．
Let us take public transportation as
our first choice when going to a
certain
place
．
It
might
cost
more
time
for
now,
but
it'
s
to
the
benefit
of
a
permanent
future
．
Take
care
of
every
tree
and
grass
around
us
by
watering
them
or
simply
just
avoid
destroying them
．
In a word,
small drops of water make a big
ocean
．
The earth
does not belong to us
．
On
the contrary, we belong
to the earth
．
Please bear in mind that the earth is
our home
．
It is
our
responsibility to build a brighter
and better future of our planet and prevent what
happened in
the movie 2012 from
becoming reality
