Biography

Yang attended the Primary School Affiliated to Peking University. [3] At the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony, 7-year-old Lin Miaoke appeared on stage, lip-synching to Yang's pre-recorded voice. [4] The vast majority who watched the broadcast were unaware of Yang's role until music director, Chen Qigang, revealed several days later that Lin was sent on stage in place of Yang. [5]

Yang's first album was released in September 2009. [6] In October 2009, Yang performed a medley of two songs [a] at the Hong Kong Cultural Show in Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China [b] together with Jacky Cheung, Yao Jue, and Leon Ko. [7]
