[Reporter Liang Weiming/Reporting from Taipei] The "5th Taiwan Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony" was held today at the Chunying Hall of Jiantan Youth Activity Center in Taipei City. It was hosted by Ge Yongguang, chairman of the Taiwan Basketball Hall of Fame Association. Huang Qihuang, political undersecretary of the Ministry of Sports, Li Yizhong, secretary-general of the Basketball Association, as well as national basketball players from all generations, well-known stars, senior coaches and basketball leaders gathered together to witness important moments in the history of domestic basketball.

This year's roster is star-studded, with the men's players including Tian Xihe, Chen Riching, Cheng Jiabao and Zhong Zhimeng, and the women's players including Chen Meizhi, Li Yingmei and Wang Ling. The seven inductees have all represented the country in international competitions and recorded brilliant records in different eras. They have also witnessed the important journey of Taiwan basketball from early grassroots development to international competition to professionalization. Among them, Li Yingmei returned to Taiwan from the United States to participate in the event and reunited with many former basketball comrades and juniors, which is particularly historic. Some celebrities who are deceased or unable to attend will be honored by their family members or former disciples, symbolizing the continuation of the basketball spirit across generations.

Another highlight of this year’s competition is the addition of team representatives for the first time. The Yulon Men’s Basketball Team, which has long cultivated national team talents, won this honor. The Yulon Men's Basketball Team has been deeply involved in Taiwan's basketball scene for decades and has cultivated countless outstanding players and national players. It has not only achieved brilliant results, but also has become an indispensable force in the history of Taiwan's basketball development with its stable team management and talent training system. This first appearance as a team not only recognizes the players' personal achievements, but also demonstrates the important contribution of the company's long-term investment in sports development.
