cknewyorkharbor1978ta8.jpg 作者生平介绍：
作者有亲戚在台湾，这在反右和[屏蔽]时期是严重的个人政治问题。故幼年的他随家庭被从北京逐到通化。他在15岁时候已经长到了6－7，相当于2米01，因此他在柳河粮库开始了篮球生涯。在北京参加国青集训期间被隔离审察，曾逃到广州但还是被带回了北京， 送回柳河。
随后，他被沈阳军区篮球队选中。得知了好友萧的死讯后一度由于痛苦绝望而精神崩溃住院。篮球拯救了他的生活，因为打篮球他有了活下去的动力。有人曾预言他永远不可能获得出国比赛机会，而他以自己的努力成为了八一队一员并在1973年代表八一队出访比赛，之后还获得了全运会冠军。作为那时公认最好的小前锋，他终于在1978年获得了国家队的召唤，成为了中国队首次参加世锦赛的一员，并且出访了美国。
他在自己生涯的巅峰时刻选择了退役，并且进学校开始读书。他遇到了一个来自美国的交换生，两人相爱结婚，并最终移居美国。
