LIN Miaoke, the cute nine-year-old girl whose solo "hymn to the motherland" added a human touch to last Friday's opening ceremony, has since been outed as a fake after being flooded with commercial offers.

The ceremony's music director, Chen Qigang, revealed that Lin had not been singing but miming to a recording by another girl, Yang Peiyi, who was dumped from the starring role because she wasn't as pretty and had uneven teeth.
