Beijing Olympics' Opening Ceremony was a great success. After watching it, I just can say it is really awesome. It is reported that about 840 million audience watched the Opening Ceremony. Unbelievable!

Did you remember these four little kids at the opening ceremony? I couldn't forget them because their performances were really excellent and I was impressed most.

No.1 Lin Miaoke, the little girl in red who sang "Ode to the motherland". Presently, she is the most popular one among the four kids. Even New York Times reported this little girl.

No.2 Lin Hao, the only boy of the four kids. He entered into the Bird Nest together with Chinese delegation's flag bearer Yao Ming. Someone might ask a question: "why didthe organizers let a little boy appear in the Chinese delegation?" Here is the anwer: Nine years old Lin Hao was a hero during May 12th Earthquake in Sichuan. When the quake happened, he didn't run away for surving. He led his classmates to sing songs in debris. After getting out of debris, he went back several times to save his classmates' lives. Pay my respect to this little boy.

When asked how he thought of walking with Yao Ming, he said:" I had a feeling of inferiority when walking with Yao Ming. He was the tallest man but I was the shortest." One of Lin Hao' s wishes is to study in Qinghua University when he grows up.

No.3 Zhu Qiaoyan, the flying girl who flies a kite at the opening ceremony. She is only 9 years old too. Her nickname is Qiao Qiao. At the age of 5, she was sent to a circus in Shenyang. You see, she has learned acrobatics for 4 years. She said that flying a kite in the air was easy. She could do somersaults in the air but the director didn't let her do it. The happiest thing is that she could have delicious food and fruits during the rehearsal.

I am proud of these little Chinese kids. They outshined the big sports stars at the opening ceremony.

I was more impressed with the little kids than the renowned politicians,big sports stars, the flag bearers, the torcher Li Ning. The little kids are just brilliant in my eyes. The nine-year-old Chinese girl, Lin Miaoke, dressed in a red Shaqun ( skirt), performed “ Sing a Song of Praise to the Motherland:” (歌唱祖国 a patriotic song).

Lovely Lin Miaoke

Little Linhao reminds me of Runner Fan(范跑跑). Compare Linhao with Runner Fan, little boy is a giant, while Runner Fan is just like a dwarf.

The little boy walking with Yao Ming at the opening ceremony is also an adorable hero who survived the Wenchuan Earthquake on May 12th, 2008. His name is Linhao, a 3rd grader. His altruistic deeds moved the whole nation. He carried her classmates (unconsious)to the safety when the corridors collapsed. 20 of his 30 classmates died in the earthquake. Without his brave and noble deeds, it could have been 22.

GUEST54109 Olympic child singing star revealed as fake

BEIJING—The little girl who starred at the Olympic opening ceremony was miming and only put on stage because the real singer was not considered attractive enough, the show's musical director has revealed.

Pigtailed Lin Miaoke was selected to appear because of her cute appearance and did not sing a note, Chen Qigang, the general music designer of the ceremony, said in an interview with a state broadcaster aired Tuesday.

Photographs of Lin in a bright red party dress were published in newspapers and websites all over the world and the official China Daily hailed her as a rising star on Tuesday.

But Chen said the girl whose voice was actually heard by the 91,000 capacity crowd at the Olympic stadium during the spectacular ceremony was in fact seven-year-old Yang Peiyi, who has a chubby face and uneven teeth.

Lin was seen to perform the patriotic song "Ode to the Motherland" as China's national flag was carried into the stadium, a key moment in the three hour ceremony.

"The reason was for the national interest. The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feelings, and expression," said Chen, a renowned contemporary composer and French citizen.

"Lin Miaoke is excellent in those aspects. But in terms of voice, Yang Peiyi is perfect, each member of our team agreed," he said.

He said the final decision to stage the event with Lin lip-synching to another girl's voice was taken after a senior member of China's ruling Communist Party politburo attended a rehearsal.

"He told us there was a problem that we needed to fix it, so we did," he said, without disclosing further details of the order.

GUEST10190 Lin Miaoke is a fake! It wasn't her voice, she mimed the entire thing. The angelic little voice belongs to Yang Peiyi, who was deemed to chubby with uneven teeth to represent China. Oh yeah, how very good you all look when you take the joy of being talented away from a little girl. The person who decided this should be ashamed.

GUEST63132 Hold up, Lin Miaoke was lip sync , another little girl sang but wasnt pretty enough so they had Lin Miaoke perform while the other little girl sang which to me is just cold hearted, they are little girls and they are cute in their own way..................... and Li Muzi is the little girl who plays the piano, if you look closely during open ceremony she wasnt even touching the keys the whole time. Its weird and I dont understand the point in acting like these kids have talent there are many other kids whom are very talented that deserved to be there.
