As athletes, we are always aware that the possibility of retirement is never far away. I’ve spent my 15 year career knowing that one day I would have to walk away, and yet actually saying goodbye to basketball today has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made.

做為一個職業運動員，我們一直知道「退休」就在不遠處。過去職業生涯的15年，我明確的知道有一天我會需要離去，但如今真的要跟籃球說再見，仍然是我這輩子最難的決定。

It's been the honor of a lifetime to compete against the fiercest competitors under the brightest lights and to challenge what the world thought was possible for someone who looks like me. I've lived out my wildest childhood dreams to play in front of fans all around the world. I will forever be the kid who felt fully alive everytime I touched a basketball.

能夠在最耀眼的燈光下與最猛的對手對抗，並且挑戰世俗眼光中對於我這樣體型條件所認定的可能性，是我這輩子最大的榮耀。我實現了小時候以為不可能的瘋狂夢想：在全世界的球迷們面前打球。我一直都還會是那個充滿童心，碰到籃球就覺得是最鮮活的自己。

So many people have sacrificed and poured into my journey, more than I could ever repay. Thank you all for believing in me, for walking with me, for celebrating my highs and picking me up in my lows. This is a ride I never wanted to end but I know it’s time. I will forever miss playing basketball in front of you all but our time will go beyond just playing. Here’s to what’s ahead.

這一路走來，有太多人因為我犧牲奉獻。謝謝堅信著我的你們，一路相隨陪伴，跟我一起慶祝高光時刻，但在我失落的時候也陪伴我站起來。這是一段我非常不想結束的旅程，但我知道是時候了。我永遠會懷念在你們面前打籃球的每個時刻，但我們所共同擁有的遠超于籃球。對於未來的一切，我們一起向前看。

Love you all ❤️

真心誠意的愛你們每一個 ❤️

A few months ago my amazing wife and I were blessed w the best possible gift we could receive. Fatherhood has honestly been the best experience of my life even though I get less sleep lol.

It's given me a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the love thats been shown to me, by God, my parents and my loved ones. I hope one day my son will say he felt that same love through his daddy ❤️ #dabonem

幾個月前，我超棒的太太跟我很幸運的得到了世界上最珍貴的禮物。成為一個爸爸是我這輩子最好的體驗，雖然我現在都不能睡飽覺了，哈哈哈。因為當了爸爸，我更能深刻的體會跟感謝上帝、爸媽、跟所有我愛的人對我付出的愛。希望有一天我的寶貝兒子也會說他也從爸比得到同樣的愛💛👣

「我發現原來生活艱辛的人，也能通過努力去做好自己想要的事情！」

這是一個 10 歲男孩聽完我的分享後寫下的心得。我有點意外，因為通常大家不會用「生活艱辛」來形容我的籃球歷程；這讓我發現，這個小男孩或許對「生活艱辛」有深刻的感受，才會在我的故事裡找到共鳴。

小男孩來自農村，爸媽為了生計到了上海、從事工時長的勞力工作，於是他跟著爸媽一起來到超大都市生活，但面對環境、節奏、文化的巨大變化，身邊沒有朋友，爸媽又必須日夜奔波在外，讓孩子在課業與情感上都難以獲得足夠的支持。所以我特別希望能關注這群人數很多卻處於弱勢的「流動兒童」，為他們盡我的力量。

今年二月，我拜訪了「上海太陽花社區兒童服務中心」，這裡為流動兒童提供公益課輔班與才藝課程。那天，我看見孩子們開心地表演音樂，也看見他們一個個展現自信的笑容。現在的我也更懂得，能有一個讓父母放心託付、給予孩子支持的空間是多麼珍貴。20 多年來，這個機構的負責人始終站在第一線、為弱勢孩童撐起這片穩定成長的空間，也讓我非常感動。

我已經從籃球場上退休，但協助弱勢兒童的權益與教育，仍然是我持續關注的方向。透過我的『三分心公益』計畫，我會持續關注他們的需要，並繼續為下一代投入心力。

“I realized that even people in difficult circumstances can still work hard and achieve what they want.”

This was written by a 10 year old boy after listening to my sharing. It caught me off guard because most people would not describe my life journey as “difficult”. It made me realize that he may have experienced real hardship himself and that is why he was able to connect with my story.

He comes from a rural area. His parents moved to Shanghai for work, taking on long hours of labor intensive jobs. He followed them into a huge city and had to adjust to a completely new environment, pace, and culture. Without friends around and with his parents working day and night, he has had limited support both in school and emotionally. This is why I feel called to pay attention to this group of migrant children and do what I can to support them.

In February, I visited the Sunflower Community Center for Migrant Children in Shanghai. They provide free tutoring and enrichment programs for migrant children. That day I saw kids performing music with joy and more importantly I saw confidence in their smiles. It reminded me how meaningful it is to have a safe space where children are supported and parents can feel at ease. For more than 20 years, the people behind this organization have stayed committed on the front lines, creating a stable environment for these kids to grow. That moved me deeply.

Even though I have retired from basketball, supporting underprivileged children and their education will always be part of my life’s mission. Through my “Threes for Hope” initiative, I will continue focusing on their needs and investing in the next generation.

He comes from a rural area. His parents moved to Shanghai for work, taking on long hours of labor intensive jobs. He followed them into a huge city and had to adjust to a completely new environment, pace, and culture. Without friends around and with his parents working day and night, he has had limited support both in school and emotionally. This is why I feel called to pay attention to this group of migrant children and do what I can to support them.

In February, I visited the Sunflower Community Center for Migrant Children in Shanghai. They provide free tutoring and enrichment programs for migrant children. That day I saw kids performing music with joy and more importantly I saw confidence in their smiles. It reminded me how meaningful it is to have a safe space where children are supported and parents can feel at ease. For more than 20 years, the people behind this organization have stayed committed on the front lines, creating a stable environment for these kids to grow. That moved me deeply.

Even though I have retired from basketball, supporting underprivileged children and their education will always be part of my life’s mission. Through my “Threes for Hope” initiative, I will continue focusing on their needs and investing in the next generation.

「我發現原來生活艱辛的人，也能通過努力去做好自己想要的事情！」

這是一個 10 歲男孩聽完我的分享後寫下的心得。我有點意外，因為通常大家不會用「生活艱辛」來形容我的籃球歷程；這讓我發現，這個小男孩或許對「生活艱辛」有深刻的感受，才會在我的故事裡找到共鳴。

小男孩來自農村，爸媽為了生計到了上海、從事工時長的勞力工作，於是他跟著爸媽一起來到超大都市生活，但面對環境、節奏、文化的巨大變化，身邊沒有朋友，爸媽又必須日夜奔波在外，讓孩子在課業與情感上都難以獲得足夠的支持。所以我特別希望能關注這群人數很多卻處於弱勢的「流動兒童」，為他們盡我的力量。

今年二月，我拜訪了「上海太陽花社區兒童服務中心」，這裡為流動兒童提供公益課輔班與才藝課程。那天，我看見孩子們開心地表演音樂，也看見他們一個個展現自信的笑容。現在的我也更懂得，能有一個讓父母放心託付、給予孩子支持的空間是多麼珍貴。20 多年來，這個機構的負責人始終站在第一線、為弱勢孩童撐起這片穩定成長的空間，也讓我非常感動。

我已經從籃球場上退休，但協助弱勢兒童的權益與教育，仍然是我持續關注的方向。透過我的『三分心公益』計畫，我會持續關注他們的需要，並繼續為下一代投入心力。

Meet Vonnie! 🫶 @scdc_sf

Vonnie, who grew up with the Samoan Community Development Center, now serves as SCDC’s 3T’s Program Coordinator. “3T’s stands for Tupulaga Talavou Tula’i, which translates to Youth Generation Rise Up,” Vonnie said. In this role, Vonnie encourages youth to learn about their culture through dance, song, and language. And in addition to the cultural education, Vonnie and the team at SCDC care deeply for students’ families and their systems of support by checking on students’ academics and providing a whole host of programs for Samoan and other Pacific Islander families.

Amid an exciting milestone year for SCDC, concerns remain about looming city budget cuts. “We don’t know how that will impact our organizations,” said Vonnie. But even in times of uncertainty, “what brings me hope is seeing youth come still,” Vonnie said. “SCDC has impacted my life in a great way. 10, 15 years ago, I never would have seen myself doing this”

Meet Roberto! 🫶 @hopehorizonepa

For 18 years, Roberto has been a pillar of the Hope Horizon community in East Palo Alto and Roberto has seen both his children and grandchildren participate in Hope Horizon’s programs. Roberto remembers days when his daughter didn’t want to join Hope Horizon programming, “She didn’t want to come because I was making her do it. But now that her kids are here, she sees the impact that we’re having on youth. Even if she didn’t see the impact for herself when she was here.”

While much has changed in the community, over 18 years, Hope Horizon’s work has not. Roberto said, “We have spiritual programs for middle school and high school youth... and the love and affection in the way they build their own community goes a long way. The program leaders lending an ear to listen to some of our kids, they go through situations at home that we’re not even aware of.”

Hope Horizon’s impact is holistic, spanning academic, spiritual, and emotional support. Roberto recalled, “Once, there was a young teenager having issues at home, there was crime in the family, and she lost both of her brothers. At first, she was having problems where she was depressed, didn’t want to talk to or open up to anybody, but inside she was screaming for help. Over time, she started opening up to our staff, and even though she lived through a situation she won’t be able to forget, our team eventually helped her move on. Last time I heard, she graduated high school and moved out to the East Coast. We do see her on social media sometimes. She’s doing good.”

Meet Momo! 🫶 @cyinyc

Momo has been an avid participant in CYI’s programs since she was in 8th grade! From Chinatown Beautification Day (CBD), to Chinatown Literacy Project (CLP), and Summer Leadership Institute (SLI), Momo has actively nurtured her passion for community. Momo said, “There is a huge part about CYI that has helped me grow a community so I feel less isolated, less alone. And I also get to build my leadership skills to face the real world as I grow up.”

In addition to learning lifelong skills, youth can participate in CYI’s various programs while building community along the way. Momo reflected, “I have actually met a lot of my close friends through CYI, and these are people I met in the various programs. The way I see it, once you do one program [with CYI] you really can’t stop.”
