Lin Miaoke - the day after

Lin Miaoke, that’s her name.

She’s the nine year old girl who sang at the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. According to Zhang Yimou, the Director of the Opening Ceremony, she was “…selected among many girls. She is a lovely girl and she sings well.”

Lin received thunderous applause from the 90,000-plus spectators at the National Stadium, known as the “Bird’s Nest”, when she performed “Ode to the Motherland” as 56 children,

each representing an ethnic group of the country’s 56 nationalities, carried the national flag into the stadium at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics on 8 August 2008.

   The Chinese government should be ashamed for using that girl’s picture with another girl’s voice. Sad, because the other girl was beautiful in her own way. The Chinese government just didn’t think she was photogenic enough.
