Chinese: 掀起你的蓋頭來;
pinyin: xiān qǐ le nǐ de gài tou lái), also called "Lift Up Your Veil and Let Me See Your Face"[1] is a traditional
Uyghurfolk song from the
Xinjiang province of China. It was originally written in the
Uyghur language. Its words were translated into the
Chinese language and popularized in China by the

artistic gymnastJiang Yuyuan for her
floor exercise routines in a number of elite international competitions, including the
2008 Summer Olympics, at which her national team won the all-around gold medal. It was also sung by Uyghur singer
Erkin Abdulla at the 2005
