Interesting Fact # 859- The Olympics
The pretty little girl who sang at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was only miming.
(The real singer was Yang Peiyi. She was not allowed to appear because she was not considered as "flawless" as nine-year-old Lin Miaoke. The excuse given by officials was that they had decided to "put our country's interest first." In the words of François de la Rochefoucauld, “The world more often rewards the appearance of merit than merit itself”.)
