award from Lincoln Center?

The article states: "In 2005, her musical opera "Mu Lang poems" earned her an "Outstanding Artist" from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in the United States." I have not been able to find any reviews of her opera, nor have I been able to find any mention of her in the New York Times (under either Li Yuan or Liyuan). As far as I know, Lincoln Center Inc. does not grant awards. I question at the veracity of this statement. -- kosboot (talk) 14:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was the statement I removed from the article:

In 2005, her musical opera "Mu Lang poems" earned her an "Outstanding Artist" from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in the United States.^{[citation needed]}

If someone is able to produce evidence that this actually occurred, then it should be reinstated. Until then, it's as true as saying the world is flat. -- kosboot (talk) 16:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Her military rank?

I edited her rank information. She's a civilian member of the PLA, as shown by her uniform in the recent photos. Civilian members includes all those in the military but perform non-combat tasks, such as doctors, educators, artists, and athletes, etc. By PLA regulation civilian members are not ranked, but has comparable levels to the military ranks. By her insignia, her level is comparable to a major general, but she's not a major general per se. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tasksaway boardneed (talk • contribs) 20:44, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I found a reference to say her rank is major general in the Chinese army’s musical troupe.^[1] Geraldshields11 (talk) 15:49, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
