The story behind this youngest flag bearer
Lin Hao, a brave kid, was known to all Chinese in the Wenchuan quake, who was caught under rubbles but kept calm to cheer his classmates up waiting for outside help. He finally managed to crawl out alive, but returned for another trapped classmate. Confident and lucky boy succeeded saving two classmates’ lives, and impressed the whole country.
His appearance at the ceremony with Yao Ming, is a humane choice, which means every fellow Chinese that suffered the quake has been remembered by the nation.
