Here are two nameless heroines. No.1 Yang Peiyi. We must remember that little girl who sang "Ode to the Motherland" at the opening ceremony. Her name is Lin Miaoke. Right now, she has been known to everyone. However, that song actually was not sung by Lin Miaoke. It was sung by Yang Peiyi, another little. Because she is not as beautiful as Lin Miaoke, she wasn't chosen to perform at the opening ceremony. Yang Peiyi (Left) and Lin Miaoke (Right).

No.2 Liu Yan. She almost lost her life during the rehearsal of the opening ceremony. Liu is an excellent dancer. Did you remember "Silk Road" one of the episodes of the opening ceremony? Originally, Liu was the solo dancer of "Silk Road". Unfortunately, she got hurt badly during the rehearsal. Now she suffers from high-paraplegia. Maybe, she will be in bed in her rest life.

I felt very sad when reading the news.

GUESTALICE	The story of the sweet little girl with the beautiful voice really touched my heart. What a shame her county can't, or won't appreciate the beauty in her childs face the way the rest of the world can. As for Liu Yan, now that is truly a tragedy. Does China appreciate what she has sacrificed so that they would look perfect in the eyes of the world? I pray for her recovery.

GUEST57222	I didn't know this before, but i would say that Yang Pei Yi is the little heroine. How do you explain to a little girl like this that she is "not good enough" because she is not "pretty enough?". As for Liu Yan, she should publicly demand at least 10 million rmb as compensation from the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee.

However, we shouldn't allow a little girl to do lip-synch on such a important occasion. I am very sorry for Liu Yan. She has sacrifced too much. Her dancing career is over now. If she couldn't stand up again, she would stay in bed for the rest of her life.

The same cannot be said for the Yang/Lin ordeal. Her being replaced was not a tragedy, it was an unnecessary mistake. Spinning it into a heroine story only masks the reality that an error in judgment was made and should be owned up to.

Hi:

I am a Chinese American in Texas. The director of the game opening is a famous film director. In movie business, It is prety common practice to use one person to play as actor and another person with the voice. Sometimes, some fight scene was played by another person. What is the big deal? China never try to cover it up. China provided this information to public. The director's goal is to provide a great show to the people of the whole world. These anti- Chinese people, who claimed anti China Coomunist, use these non senses to attacked Chinese people. Chinese people spent the most money than any previous country for this game. Such as China built brand new olympic village and charge $0 for the world. China offered free transportation as well. Be grateful. Americans did not this level of free service in the past, nor would the British people in four years. Be civil and be friendly.
