Giant

By Zheng Lu

An eight-meter-high giant puppet appeared at Yansha Youyi Shopping City as part of the outdoor activities of Yansha Night, Wednesday. The puppet was designed by 12 Australian artists and owned by Tomboy, a Korean clothing company. To move Tomboy was a big project. Supported by a fork lift operated by fourteen muscle men, the puppet was the most eyecatching event of the evening.

Yao comes back for Olympics By Huang Daohen

NBA star Yao Ming is back in China to get ready for the Beijing Olympics. Yao arrived at Beijing International Airport on Tuesday, and told reporters he’s had a smooth recovery. “I’m about recovered, but doctors told me not to take part in any resistance matches until mid-July,” Yao said. According to coach Jonas Kazlauskas, the Chinese men’s basketball team will soon start training for the Games with Yao on the roster. Since his surgery in the beginning of March, Yao has spent most of his time in recovery training in the US. Sources say that a group of top medical experts from Beijing will meet and closely follow up on treating Yao’s injured ankle.
