Chinese animated feature, "The Magical Brush," premiered in Beijing last night.

Many were in attendance, including famed teenage singer Lin Miaoke, who sang the Chinese national anthem at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She said that she enjoyed watching the leading character, named Ma Liang.
