Title: Unvoiced-Voiced
Synopsis: With her face submerged in a bucket of water, Lin Li sings a popular

its subsequent development, as well as unauthenticated reports that some Chinese
local authorities had banned the sale of jasmine in 2011, seemingly fearful of the
symbolic meaning attached to the flower.
