Yang Peiyi (Chinese: 杨沛宜; pinyin: Yáng Pèiyí; born 2001) is a Chinese child singer. The song Ode to the Motherland [1] she sang behind scene at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony on August 8, 2008.
Yang is grade one student at a Primary School associated with Beijing University.[1] Her teacher described the young girl in her blog as a gifted student at the school. "She doesn't like to show off. She's easygoing. She is cute and well-behaved, with a love for Beijing Opera."[2]
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony, 9-year-old Lin Miaoke, was seen performing Ode to the Motherland while listeners heard the voice of Yang Peiyi.[3] The vast majority who watched the broadcast did not know of Yang Peiyi's role until several days later when music director Chen Qigang acknowledged it.[4]
Yang's first album was released in September 2009.[5]
