Hello everyone, leaders, guests, and friends from news media, good afternoon, and thanks

for c     1    .

Today is an important day for me. For myself, my basketball career and the personal growth in the f     2   , it has a particular meaning.

At the end of last year I b    3    my left foot for a third time. I had to leave the basketball court, and s____4_____ the last half of the year waiting, just as many of those who care about me. During that period, I struggled a lot in my heart and thought a lot. Now I am going to announce a personal d    5    : I am going to end my career as a basketball player and officially retire.

Looking back on the past , I am very g    6    . First I'd like to thank basketball. This great sport has brought joys to so many people, including me. I e     7     the Shanghai Basketball Youth Team at 14. At 16, I began playing for Shanghai Basketball Team, wearing my father's number.

I feel so p    8    every time I look into the eyes of my parents, who love me and think I am the pride of them.

I would also like to thank life. Life is like a guide. When you sincerely f    9    it, it will open one and another door for you and the world outside of them is so different and exciting. Today, I retired. The door of basketball is c   10     , but another door has just opened which will lead me to a new life waiting for me to experience.
