  While everyone knows that NBA center Yao Ming will become a father this summer, the big buzz(流言)in China is about whether the baby will be an American.

  The Shanghai native's personal life is closely followed by his many fans at home, from his 2007 Shanghai wedding to fellow basketball player Ye Li to last month's reports the couple is expecting a baby girl in July.

  The 2.25-meter star, sidelined this season with a broken left foot, recently returned to the USA with Ye, encouraging speculation that the baby will be born there.

  Yao's baby would automatically be an American citizen if born in the US.

  However, Chinese law does not recognize double citizenship.

  A few say it would be a betrayal of China and that the Chinese team could be denied a future basketball star.

  But most support Yao and don't care which country claims the baby.

  “Yao Ming is individual, not a political tool,”said one comment on popular basketball Website Hoop China.

  “He has the right to choose where his child is born and what kind of medical care and education will be available to her.His child's citizenship has nothing to do with loyalty.”

  Yao and his camp have been tight-lipped on the pregnancy(懷孕)and have not issued any public statements on the matter.

  It is not clear if Yao and his wife are indeed planning to have the baby in the US or how they will handle any citizenship issues.

  Yao's spokesman Zhang Mingji refused to make notes on the baby, saying it was a private matter.

  Many Chinese famous persons-including actress Gong Li and director Chen Kaige-have in recent years been criticized for becoming naturalized citizens of other countries.

  Chinese are subject to strict visa requirements and some of the famous persons argued it was easier to travel internationally with passports from countries like Singapore or the US.

  My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to male it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

  Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my beart.One it aways times out.“Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer.But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.”He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask.“Is this what you were talking about, Dad?Should I keep going?”

  A long way frim 12 now, I realize hew would have been proud when I made any progress.Lately, thongn.I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to winat com next: to be nrood of and believe in, somebody else.It's time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail.They're only afraid of failing us.They don't worry about being disappointed.Their fear-as mine was until my father's letter-is of being a disappointment.

  Give your chikdren permission to succeed.They're witing for you to believe in them.I always knew way parents loved me.But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts;“Don't worry; you'll do something great.”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
