When he was playing a lot in the mid 00's I thought he was the best player on the planet, especially after he gave Dennis Orcullo a thrashing in those two long-race format money games. I also heard that he beat Busta pretty soundly in an after-hours match back at one of the WPC's years ago. Does anyone know if he quit competing professionally, and why?
Did Yang Ching Shun retire from pool?

This post leaves a lot to be desired. No definite answer as to what is going on with him in that thread. One guy says yes and one guy says no he has health issues. That thread is almost 5 years old now so that information is useless.
Anybody have any current up to date information about the guy I'd like to know as well.
Didn't he beat Orcullo once or twice in long sessions?
I went to Shanghai in June, a friend of mine that lives in Taiwan and Shanghai and who is personal friends with Yang told me that Yang pretty much quick pool and took up sport fishing and he recently won a big fishing tournament in Taiwan but like pool there isn't much money in it. I have both the DVD matches of him beating Orcollo 60-42 in nine ball and 50-45 in ten ball. I always thought after the balls are broken that he was top five in the world for sure. One of my favorite players to watch. And he's a southwest cue fanatic, man after my own heart.
