YAO Ming announced his retirement in July. Now, education has become his top priority. Yao may “go back to school and do some very basic (基础的) studies” at Shanghai Jiaotong University this autumn, reported China Daily last week. He said he was ready to make up for his missed school days. Yao Ming’s major is likely to be unknown until this October. “You cannot stop working. (I need to) Go back to training my mind and thinking. This is very, very important to me,” said the 31-year-old.
