The Face of God on a 9-Year Old

[Barbara Casey]

Was anyone else inspired by the 9-year old earthquake survivor who walked into the Bird's Nest Stadium with the Chinese delegation in Friday night's Olympics opening ceremony?

This youngster, Lin Hao, looked like "everyboy" - with his western style clothing and angelic demeanor. And he energetically held his own marching in with a Chinese superhero, NBA all-star Yao Ming.

The cameras kept returning to Lin Hao over and over. I suspect everyone felt there was something special about him.
