Olympic girl seen but not heard
From CNN:
BEIJING, China (CNN) -- A little girl and her song captivated millions of viewers during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. But what they saw was not what they heard.
Yang Peiyi's voice was heard during Friday's opening ceremony, but her face was never seen.

Yang Peiyi's voice was heard during Friday's opening ceremony, but her face was never seen.

Games organizers confirm that Lin Miaoke, who performed "Ode to the Motherland" as China's flag was paraded Friday into Beijing's National Stadium, was not singing at all.

Lin was lip-syncing to the sound of another girl, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, who was heard but not seen, apparently because she was deemed not cute enough.


Makes me sad. I think Yang Peiyi is beautiful. Let her family come over here, make 'em citizens. She can represent us, anytime.

1. Dear God, to hurt a sweet child like that just makes me want to cry..
I agree with the OP, bring her and her family over here, let her sing the National Anthem atthe first football game, we'll appreciate her. I also think she's adorable...

China is treating Yang Peiyi like their "Smelly Cat"

I agree with the other DUers - she's cute.
