Biography Yang attended the Primary School Affiliated to Peking University. On 8 August 2008, at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 9-year-old Lin Miaoke appeared on stage performing "Ode to the Motherland", lip-syncing to a pre-recorded vocal by 7-year-old Yang. 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.

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