Linn Miaoke the Beijing Olympic’s sensation
Miaoke’s performance on the Beijing 2008 Olympic night, like the ceremony itself, was an immediate hit. "Nine-year-old Lin Miaoke becomes instant star with patriotic song," the China Daily newspaper headline said.
Zhang, China’s most famous film director, was asked at a post-ceremony news conference about the little girl who swung on wires high above the Bird’s Nest National Stadium during the performance.
"She is a lovely girl and she sings well," Zhang said, according to a transcript posted on the Beijing organizing committee’s web site.
Miaoke, however, was a minor celebrity even before the opening ceremony. The third-grader appeared in a TV ad last year with China’s biggest gold medal hope, hurdling champion Liu Xiang, and she was in an Olympics ad earlier this year, China Daily reported.
Her father, Lin Hui, told China Daily he learned Miaoke would be "singing" only 15 minutes before the opening ceremony began. Lin "still cannot believe his daughter has become an international singing sensation," the report said.
