When it comes to Lin Miaoke, many people should be able to think of the figure of the little girl who sang "Singing the Motherland" at the 2008 Olympic Games, and it is precisely because of such a platform that Lin Miaoke has become a familiar child star.
But later, according to the opening ceremony music director's revelations, he said that Lin Miaoke was not really singing at that time, but was sung by another little girl named Yang Peiyi behind the stage, and Lin Miaoke was just on the lips.
As soon as this news came out, it can be said that it shocked many people, attracted the dissatisfaction of many people, and the spearhead was also pointed at Lin Miaoke. But Lin Miaoke was just a little girl at that time, and she didn't have the ability to take the initiative to ask for a fake singing, so what happened in between?
01
Lin Miaoke was born in Shuxiangmendi, his grandfather was the famous calligrapher Lin Kai, his father was a reporter for the Legal Evening News, and his mother Liu Zhe was a university professor.
It is precisely because of this environment that Lin Miaoke has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child.
At first, Lin Miaoke, under the guidance of her mother, began to enter the entertainment industry to act, and then began to shoot advertisements and star in MVs.
Slowly, she also accumulated some small fame in the entertainment industry, but this was not enough to make her completely popular until the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Director Zhang Yimou could not find a suitable actor when he sang the song "Singing the Motherland", and invited many children to interview, none of which he liked.
Later, some staff members noticed Lin Miaoke and felt that this image was quite appropriate, so they recommended it to director Zhang Yimou, and then let Lin Miaoke come to interview.
At the same time, there is also a little girl named Yang Peiyi who also received an interview notice, Yang Peiyi is a natural good voice, and she sings very well at a young age.
When Zhang Yimou interviewed these two little girls, he began to struggle, because he liked the image of Lin Miaoke, but he was more inclined to Yang Peiyi in singing.
In a hurry, Zhang Yimou used the "double reed" drama code to let Lin Miaoke perform on stage, and Yang Peiyi sang behind the scenes, so the song we heard at that time was Yang Peiyi's voice, not Lin Miaoke.

After the Olympic Games, Lin Miaoke suddenly became a popular child star, but Yang Peiyi still paid little attention as usual.
The reason why Lin Miaoke can succeed is partly due to Yang Peiyi, because of Yang Peiyi's natural singing.
But as children, they do not have the right to choose, so when this matter was exposed, many people felt unfair for Yang Peiyi, and at the same time accused Lin Miaoke of "stealing" other people's lives.
Although this matter was exposed, Lin Miaoke's popularity has not decreased at all, and there are still many commercial advertising endorsements.
Because he has been active in the public eye for a long time, Lin Miaoke has not received a lot of education.
In 2017, Lin Miaoke took the art exam, successively fell off the list, did not pass, at the same time, after growing up, Lin Miaoke is no longer as cute as when he was a child, and gradually has no characteristics, but he is still a taunting speech.
In 2022, at the Winter Olympics, Zhang Yimou invited Lin Miaoke to sing again, but it did not attract a lot of heat, the heat that belonged to Lin Miaoke had long passed, and now she lived her own life.
