This week, we feature the inspiring story of Gao Jin-wei, a rising basketball star who donated NTD 3 million to the Good Shepherd Children’s Home in Hualien, where he grew up. His generosity is a powerful example of giving back to one’s roots. In the CPBL, each team carries a unique nickname, adding personality and energy to Taiwan’s professional baseball scene. The Fubon Guardians started the second half of the season strong, scoring an impressive 13 runs in one inning, thrilling fans and shaking up the standings. The William Jones Cup kicked off Taiwan’s summer basketball season. The Taiwanese women’s national team fought hard, but Japan claimed the title for the fourth straight year. In boxing, Wu Shih-Yi continues to represent Taiwan on the world stage. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s police officers and firefighters stood out at the World Police and Fire Games, earning medals and international recognition. Taiwan’s men’s badminton duo dominated once again, winning at the Super 300 Canada Open and reinforcing their place among the world’s best. Finally, we honor the parents behind young athletes.
