A pretty girl who won national fame after singing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was only miming.
Wearing a red dress and pigtails, Lin Miaoke charmed a worldwide audience with a rendition of "Ode to the Motherland".
But the singer was Yang Peiyi, who was not allowed to appear because she is not as "flawless" as nine-year-old Lin.
The show's musical director said Lin was used because it was in the best interests of the country.

This whole story is so disgusting and remind me at some bad times in our country.

I watched the opening ceremony and I wondered at the time whether Lin Miaoke was miming.
I've heard that she actually thought she was singing - not sure if that is true. I wonder if she was distressed when she realised her voice was not considered good enough.
How much is sad the second girl who was not enough beautiful for the authorities.
