9 year old Lin Miaoke: "Everyone knows she's a fraud" It came to light that the nine year old girl who performed at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, Lin Miaoke, actually was not the voice you heard singing. She lip-synched. The real singer was Yang Peiyi, a seven-year old with a chubby face and crooked teeth, according to the Associated Press. Miaoke (photo, right) was chosen at the last minute because she was more attractive. "The audience will understand that it's in the national interest," said Chen Qigang, the musical director for the program. When the Chinese found out about the ruse, their reactions show a starkly different cultural perspective. Many Americans would think the talented-but-chubby Yang Peiyi, whose voice has received raves, should deserve her place in the spotlight. We also would not hold the lip-synching nine year old accountable. But look at how harsh the reaction was to the two children in the AP's "Word on the street" examples: Posted Image "The organizers really messed up on this one," Luo Shaoyang, 34, a retail worker in Beijing, said Tuesday. "This is like a voice over for a cartoon character. Why couldn't they pick a kid who is both cute and a good singer? This damages the reputation of both kids for their future,especially the one lip-synching. Now everyone knows she's a fraud, who cares if she's cute?" Others disagreed. "They want the best-looking people to represent the face of China. I don't blame the organizers for picking a prettier-looking kid over the not-so-pretty one," said Xia Xiaotao, 30, an engineer. "I felt so beautiful in my red dress," tiny Lin Miaoke told the China Daily. Source:here |
