Early life
[edit]Lei was born in 1980 in Shibing County in Guizhou. In the summer of 1998, she was admitted to the Music Performance Department of the School of Arts of Guizhou University. In 2002, following her graduation, she wanted to stay on campus to work as teacher, but in the end, she went to work in a song and dance troupe in Qiandongnan Prefecture.[1]

In 2006, she took on a leading role in the song and dance performance Colorful Guizhou Style, touring over 30 provinces and cities across China as well as internationally in countries like Canada, Russia, and Malaysia.[3][4]
In April 2011, she was shortlisted for the Singing China - The Most Popular New Songs competition with her lyrical song The Taste of Hometown. Over the following years, she continued to build her discography with several singles: Zi Gui Yin in May 2014, My Chinese Dream in September 2014, The Road Home Is Connected in December 2014, The Taste of Hometown in June 2015, and Miao Family in the World in October 2015. In July 2016, she dedicated her song Love Blossoms to Taijiang County in Guizhou.[5][6]
