Born in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, Han Lei has shown a talented musical talent since he was a child.
He has a naughty and cheerful personality but is extremely sensible, and has been loved by his parents and family.
In order to realize his music dream, at the age of 13, Han Lei left his hometown alone and came to the High School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing for further study.
For him, it was not only the cradle of musical enlightenment, but also an important turning point in his life.
Han Lei still remembers the excitement in his heart when he first met his teacher, Mr. Hu Bingyu, who was highly respected by his rigorous and gentle personality and superb musical attainments as a middle school student.
Under the careful guidance of the teacher, Han Lei not only improved his musical attainments, but also became more introverted and stable.
The days of studying at the High School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music are a warm and nostalgic time in Han Lei's life. This not only laid a good professional foundation for him, but also made him a good friend on the road of music.
In 1989, Han Lei graduated from university and began to work as a trombone player in the Inner Mongolia Symphony Orchestra. At first, he was full of longing and expectation for this stable job.
However, the lack of performance opportunities and the monotonous repetition of the work soon wore away Han Lei's initial enthusiasm.
The mechanical trombone performance day after day does not reflect his unique and excellent musical talent and emotional interpretation ability. The inner anguish and anxiety are accumulating deeper and deeper.
Han Lei realized that this was not his dream musical life.
Faced with the painful choice between reality and ideals, Han Lei experienced a long period of hesitation and struggle. Finally, he mustered all his courage and chose to say goodbye to his stable but boring job, and returned to Beijing to chase the afterimage of his childhood music dream again.
This is an important choice that Han Lei will never forget in his life. It was this courageous decision that he struggled to make that completely changed the trajectory of his life and allowed him to finally reach the pinnacle of his life.
After returning to Beijing, with the help and support of his mentor Mr. Hu, Han Lei regained his enthusiasm and fighting spirit for the music industry. In 1991, at the age of 24, he signed up for the popular talent show "New People, New Voices" and became a blockbuster.
The audience in front of the TV screen was also impressed by the unique voice that was high-pitched and bright, revealing a hint of vicissitudes.
In 1993, Han Lei quickly became popular because of the theme song "Walking in All Directions" sung in the well-known TV series "All the Way Dusk". This stick figure but soulful song, which cost only 15,000 MV, caused a sensation at the time.
Countless people were infected by Han Lei's magnetic voice and restrained and steady singing in front of the TV screen, and asked "What song is this?"
Five years later, Han Lei sang "Walking in All Directions" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the second time, carrying forward this classic that has been widely sung among the people. Since then, he has become a household name, and his position in the domestic music scene has been further consolidated, and the reputation of "the voice of the emperor" has also been established.
After becoming famous in World War I, Han Lei did not indulge in the joy of success. He continues to maintain high standards and strict requirements, and continues to explore and challenge himself on the road of music creation.
Han Lei is like a horse flying freely, and the songs he sings span a wide range, including pop, ethnic, and classical styles. Especially in the field of TV dramas, film and television songs, he has made a lot of contributions, and has sung the theme songs and interludes of more than 700 film and television works so far.
Many popular film and television classics are from his golden voice.
"Borrowing from the Sky for Another 500 Years", which represents the episode of the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", gives full play to Han Lei's magnificent, delicate and introverted singing style and has become a generation of classics.
Over the years, Han Lei has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala 8 times, sharing his fruitful musical achievements with audiences across the country, which has been widely recognized. The reputation of "King of Film and Television Drama Singers" is well deserved.
In 2006, there was another important turning point in the road of life. This year, 38-year-old Han Lei married a Mongolian girl. The bride was 16 years younger than him and he met at an event.
Qi Qige, a naturally beautiful, young and delicate girl. The elegant and generous conversation and demeanor reveal wisdom and shining personality charm, which immediately impressed Han Lei, who has always paid attention to temperament.
After a period of understanding and dating, Han Lei finally proposed to the girl he had liked for a long time, and the marriage was consummated.
In married life, no matter how busy Han Lei is at work, he will try to find time to spend with his family. He is especially filial to his mother, and the support of his wife has also made his career and family prosperous.
His character not only gave birth to a pair of smart and clever children for him, but also became the most staunch spiritual pillar on the road of his music career.
In the second half of his life, Han Lei finally found himself and found happiness.
The boy who used to have a naughty personality and worked hard for his ideals has now gained a lot on the road of music and life, which is the best reward for his youthful struggle.
The appearance of his wife and children filled the emptiness and loneliness in his heart, and the company of his family added infinite warmth to his life. Looking at his beloved family, Han Lei sighed sincerely: This is the greatest destination and wealth in his life.
He often asked himself: Without the guidance of ideals and mentors, and without the courage to strive to pursue his dreams, where would he have succeeded in a brilliant life? Although his fate was unfortunate, he had reaped the greatest happiness through unremitting efforts.
