Today, the 44-year-old middle-aged actor, after a long period of precipitation, has successfully shaped the image of Lu Xun in the TV series "Awakening Age", won the praise of the audience, and made his acting career climb to a new height.
Cao Lei, born in Beijing in 1977, grew up in the beautiful land of Ningxia. The breakdown of his family left an indelible scar on his young mind, but it was this experience that forged his tenacity.
When he was 5 years old, his father's sudden death made Cao Lei, his mother and sister have to rely on each other, and his life suddenly fell into a difficult situation.
He couldn't understand why the once warm and harmonious family atmosphere had collapsed in an instant, and his mother had become extremely strict. The long-term incomprehension and struggle made his adolescent heart full of "resentment".
However, after many years, he gradually understood the bitterness and hardship of his mother.
"I was deeply touched by my mother's selfless love for me. In order to repay this deep friendship, I must work tirelessly to prove the value of this love!" This is a true portrayal of Cao Lei's admiration for his mother and his firm belief in the depths of his heart.
With great tenacity, he has worked twice as hard as he did in his academic studies and in his career.
At the age of 14, Cao Lei resolutely chose to return to Beijing alone and was successfully admitted to the High School Affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy. When he saw those energetic young dancers through the glass window, he couldn't help but feel a trace of inferiority in his heart.
However, he always stood by his dignity and vowed to prove his strength with practical actions, so he did not hesitate to devote himself to daily hard training.
With his diligence and perseverance, Cao Lei finally successfully stepped into the door of the musical theater major of the Central Academy of Drama a year later with an excellent score of 100 points beyond the admission score line.
In the process of studying Chinese opera, Cao Lei's life trajectory is also full of ups and downs. He shows a persistent pursuit and passion for art, whether it is animal performance assignments or drama reports, you can see his dedication and rigor.
The former "rebellious boy" has already become an outstanding student of Chinese opera in the baptism of years, and he and his classmate Jin Dong have studied and grown up in this temple of art.
In the more than ten years since graduation, Cao Lei has always adhered to the stage of performing arts and worked hard. He has participated in the production of many excellent film and television works, such as the movies "Action Without Borders" and "Broken Jade", as well as the emotional dramas "Love Has No Hitchhike" and "Waiting for Happiness".
It wasn't until 2015 that he starred in the TV series "On the Songhua River" finally won him many awards such as the Charming Actor of the Year Award at the 3rd TV Quality Festival.
Although Cao Lei's superb acting skills have been widely praised, he has never lost himself because of this, but firmly moved forward on the path he loved, and devoted himself to the shaping of every role.
Until 2020, his wonderful performance in the TV series "Dajiang Dahe 2" made more and more audiences begin to pay attention to and recognize this powerful actor.
However, what really pushed him to the peak of his acting career was undoubtedly the image of Mr. Lu Xun full of wisdom and passion in the TV series "Awakening Age". With this role, Cao Lei won warm praise from the audience and made his career climb to new heights.
Cao Lei's wife, Deng Li, is not only his classmate and friend at the Beijing Film Academy, but also his most important partner in life. The two have gone from the young campus era to the current four generations in the same house, and have spent 20 years together.
Deng Li is still keen on acting after graduation and has created many popular roles. However, in the face of her family and children, she chose to retreat into the background and become a solid pillar behind her husband.
She lives an elegant and low-key life, rarely shares her personal life in public, and only interacts with her husband on the Internet to express her endless affection for him.
Cao Lei also knows the preciousness of this hard-won happy marriage. Although he was not good at expressing his family life verbally, he was always able to publicly express his gratitude and blessings to his wife at the right moment.
For example, on the occasion of his wife's birthday, or when they walk hand in hand on the 20th anniversary, Cao Lei will convey his sincere thanks to Deng Li through the Internet, wishing her good health and a happy life.
The years do not seem to have left a mark on Deng Li's face, but have given her a more rejuvenated youthful demeanor, which is the beautiful result of her daily perseverance and happy married life.
This loving couple has been walking hand in hand for 20 years since they met. Although time flies, their relationship has become stronger and stronger. Cao Lei is well aware of his wife's hard work for the family, and his heart is full of endless gratitude.
They are undoubtedly the lucky gods in each other's lives, and together they have written a wonderful chapter of their own.
Nourished by family happiness, Cao Lei devoted himself to his beloved artistic career and bravely embarked on the road of an actor. Deng Li, with her virtuous qualities, stood behind her husband without reservation and went all out to support his career development.
After 20 years of running-in, Cao Lei and Deng Li have reached the realm of spiritual communication. They know everything about each other and understand each other's needs. Cao Lei understood Deng Li's desire for family and children, so he did not hesitate to create a warm home for her, and Deng Li also understood her husband's enthusiasm for his career, never hindered his artistic pursuit, but gave the greatest encouragement and support.
In this harmonious family, Cao Lei and Deng Li are each other's most solid backing and confidants who understand each other best. They illuminate each other's life journey with sincere love, and move towards the future together with firm faith.
This deep love not only made Cao Lei go higher and higher on the road of acting, but also made Deng Li's life full of happiness and warmth.
When creating various characters, Cao Lei can always dig deep into the value and connotation behind each role, making the characters that the audience sees on the screen vivid. Whether it's a historical figure or a fictional character, he can devote all his energy to it with awe.
In the TV series "Awakening Age", Cao Lei successfully interpreted the image of Mr. Lu Xun, a historical giant. With his sincere emotions and moving voice, he made the audience feel as if they had personally experienced the moment when Mr. Lu Xun created "Diary of a Madman", and indulged in the magnificent history.
Cao Lei's excellent and delicate acting skills can be called master-level acting skills, which is amazing!
For such a historical figure of great significance, Cao Lei always examines it very carefully and shows it with a heart full of awe. He digs deep into the tortuous life course of Mr. Lu Xun, and tries his best to explore the ideological context of this cultural giant, and strives to truly touch the depths of his soul.
Throughout the filming process, he always kept in mind the heavy responsibility he had undertaken, and did his best to portray the image of this great man to life.
From "On the Songhua River" to "Dajiang Dahe 2", and then to "The Awakening Age", Cao Lei has created many popular roles in many film and television dramas. Regardless of the importance of the role, he was able to put his heart and soul into it, polishing it to shine brightly.
He treats each character with genuine emotion, using his unique understanding to give them life and vitality.
Starting from the harsh environment in the border mountains, after going through wind and rain, Cao Lei, who has now entered middle age, has shown a simple and profound truth to the world with his unswerving perseverance and unswerving determination: as long as you devote yourself wholeheartedly and go all out, your efforts will eventually be rewarded.
Today, he has become a recognized powerful actor in the industry and has won the love and praise of countless audiences. This former "little talent" has now transformed into a leader in the art world, blooming with a unique and charming light.
