Yao Ming is a big guy! That basketball looks not much bigger than a softball in his huge hand, lol.
Li Yuchun looks pretty cute there.
And of course, ZZ looking good as usual.

who is Li Yuchun ,anyway? Saw her a few times in tv but don’t really know her…she’s from a reality tv,right? ^_^

I read up on her a little. She’s fairly new. She became instantly famous when she was the surprise winner of an all girl singing contest called “Supergirl” in 2005. She beat out two other performers, Zhou Bichang who was runner up and Zhang Liangying who came in third place. She wasn’t considered the best singer but was by far the most popular based on votes for her performance. She released her first album around September 2006. She’a a very tall girl with a low voice.

Thanks for the answer joe.
Raybella, as joe mentioned Li Yuchun was the winner of popular Chinese singing contest, Supergirl in 2005. The contest is a bit like American Idol, where the winners were decided by votes in the end.
