Features: The book features over 70 captivating photographs, exclusively released in China for the first time, by Xinhua News Agency, showcasing Yao Ming's journey in the CBA, representing the national team, his draft days, and his career in the NBA, including confrontations with ONeal and dating with Michael Jordan during the All-Star Game. Renowned senior sports journalists from Xinhua News Agency have long tracked and interviewed Yao Ming, providing exclusive background information about his experiences that is only available in the media. True childhood friends, neighbors, alumni, mentors, teammates, and coaches have contributed photos and little-known anecdotes about Yao Ming's early life to the book. Yao Ming was destined to make the world buzz. However, most people in the world who have seen Yao Ming have never seen him as a child. When countless reporters crane their necks to look up at the 2.26-meter Yao Ming, Xiao Chunfei instead stoops down, turning his gaze to the 1.26-meter Yao Ming at that time—thus came the book The Road of Yao Ming.
