Wu Lei for 中国UP (S4)

Embracing passionate dreams, he is heading towards the next adventure amidst mountains and seas.

Original text from 中国UP, rough trans by langyabangs.

"At the age of 5, actor Wu Lei embarked on his acting career, accumulating 19 years of experience in the industry.

He expressed, "Acting is fundamentally an art of connecting with others; understanding their stories enables me to portray the scripts in my hands more authentically."

Wu Lei expressed his dream, saying, "My dream is to become an actor who captivates the audience through my acting."

He began his acting journey at the age of 5, and during his teenage years, he realized that acting was his most passionate pursuit in life.

"Once I inhabit a role, I can completely immerse myself in it." Said Wu Lei. In recent years, Wu Lei has been featured in numerous films and television dramas.

In the movie 'My Country, My Parents,' he portrayed a young cavalryman named Ma Chengfeng. Despite his tender age, Chengfeng joined the army alongside his father."

To authentically embody the character, Wu Lei shaved his head and braved the scorching sun, committing himself to daily sessions of horse riding and marksmanship training.

During the filming process, Wu Lei encountered moments of self-critique as his performance and emotional state didn't meet his expectations. However, in the world of filmmaking, time doesn't wait, so he had to quickly readjust his mindset.

"My dream is to become an actor who enchants the audience with my acting skills. Though I am still a long way from achieving it, I am committed to extending this journey, accumulating experience, and maturing," he stated. "I understand the responsibility I should bear as part of the older generation of artists."

In 2022, Wu Lei participated in a significant cultural program produced by CCTV titled "Setting Off from Yan'an." In the show, centenarian singer Meng Yu shared the original intentions behind the creation of timeless literary and artistic works and the stories interwoven within them.

Reflecting on their artistic journeys, Meng Yu couldn't help but hum the anti-Japanese patriotic song "Yellow River Cantata."

When she sang the line, "Sending out the battle alarm to the people laboring all over the world," tears welled up in her eyes, and she was moved as if she had returned to the youthful times of fierce battles. Wu Lei mentioned that this scene deeply touched him.

"Conveying spirit through spirit, and faith through faith," Wu Lei expressed his belief that maintaining respect, passion, and dedication to the acting profession is essential for creating works that are genuinely impactful, heartfelt, and enduring.

"Understanding others' stories enhances my interpretation of the scripts I work on."

In addition to acting, Wu Lei finds joy in cycling. He observes that actors, often immersed in the world of lights and cameras, can easily overlook the subtle intricacies of real life.

Cycling, for him, serves as a gateway to rekindle those nuanced connections with reality. These wonderful encounters have allowed Wu Lei to experience genuine human warmth beyond the camera lens.

There was a kind stranger who offered him a pot of hot water while camping in the wilderness, a friendly young man who guided him to a barber shop, another who helped him with shaving, and a fellow cyclist who approached him during a ride around the lake, engaging in warm conversation.

"Emphasizing the importance of connecting with people, engaging in self-reflection, and understanding others' stories for effective script interpretation," Wu Lei underscored.

Looking ahead, he intends to continue exploring the diverse landscapes of China, encountering moving stories along the way and capturing countless remarkable moments.

Given the opportunity, he also aspires to portray a professional road cyclist, facing the sunrise, pedaling through the sunset, and conquering one hill after another amidst the challenges.

This reflects his ambition in his acting career: "Fearlessly embracing challenges, constantly aiming higher, nurturing fervent dreams, and embarking on the next adventure in the mountains and seas."

I didn't think anything would top "JUNLIET!" for memorable program moments, but then Jun had to serve up what I will now only refer to as The Junwalk. Calling it now: this is the most iconic choreo of the season.

prompt requested by po. joy/eunwoo in a setting where they realised that they were SO GOOD for each other romantically after so much bickering/playfighting ooh man sexual tension.

—

Nothing is perfect. Everything is a social construction, but Cha Eunwoo exists—the man that's deemed too good to be true; the man that everyone thinks that he's Perfect with capital P.

Sooyoung begs to differ, however. In the eyes of Park Sooyoung, Cha Eunwoo is one of the most annoying guy on earth and it was unfair to her how nobody but her sees it (she didn't know that Eunwoo is only annoying when he's with her, neither does she realize that Eunwoo only bickers with her).

Just like how he deliberately put her phone on the highest shelf in the room where he knew that she wouldn't be able to reach with her height.

“Give me my phone, damn it!” She furiously stares at Eunwoo, only to receive a smile from the latter (nothing is perfect but maybe Dongmin's smile is close to that).

“Under one condition.”

“No, no, and no.”

“Just hear me out first.”

“Fine, what is it?”

“Go out with me, noona.”

Sooyoung, who usually have so much to say, went speechless instead. Not a single words were uttered for few seconds that felt like hours due the deafening silence. But then she hissed, in the most Sooyoung-like mannerism (as if she regained back her consciousness) and stomp on Eunwoo's shoes (she don't want to show him that she was flustered and that her heart is palpitating frantically).

“Do you want a death wish instead?”

Eunwoo laughed, giving Sooyoung her phone back. She stomped his other feet and he winces again while the older female walked away from the room without saying anything.

He was serious, but she didn't know that. She was excited, but he didn't know that either.

the unsolicited advice 2021 weekly planner and journal is here and it has 10 sheets of stickers!

“This planner has chaotic, creative energy and I love it. 2020 has been hard to plan for, to say the least... but I 100% do not regret getting an Unsolicited Advice planner at the top of this year!! I love that I don't feel like I'm messing up this planner by writing it (I have a history of feeling discouraged because mess up a planner that's "too pretty"). I love that it's simple, requires only as much effort as I'm willing to put in, but also allows me to reflect on my month in unique and innovative ways. Thank you for bringing it into the world!” —Sarah

Back and forth, cigarettes and fast-talking. I feel you slip away and I can't understand the reasons why you say you're leaving 'cause you were so in love with me yesterday.

It was as if only yesterday that he sent you 'I love you' and there has not been any single day where he missed saying good morning and good nights. But even when you thought that the water is calm you'll never know what kind of attack that suddenly emerges from deep inside.

Blue skylights but tonight it’s the morning. Tick tock, the clock shows that it’s already 3AM right now. None of your calls gets through and he does not reply to any single text messages that you sent. The read receipt was off, so you have no idea whether he read everything or not.

But you keep sending him texts anyways, updating him about your life in hopes that it will get through to him, somehow (I can't get through to you).

There’s a little glimmer of hope that you keep inside you, wishing that he would silently skim through everything with a smile on his face (he probably wanted to text you back as badly, or at least you wished he was—but as a matter of fact, you could only assume and hoped.

No one really knows what he’s thinking. You dated him for a while and you could never really figured him out, how are you going to read his mind when you are now apart? Some days the thought of redoing things over kept you awake.

Because you wished that there’s a rewind button so you can go back to when before you didn’t miss your steps, perhaps then you'll figure things out better, perhaps then you can prevent the catalyst (how am I supposed to move on if I don't even know what's really wrong?).

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room, Take Two.

You walked into the room and you're welcomed by the scorching heat of the fire that burns down the whole place. The place used to be so warm and comfortable but suddenly it gets vacant and cold. Then, next thing you know, the whole thing is on fire.

It takes two to tango so even as you tried to dance with him it just doesn't feel the same anymore. The steps are mismatched and you keep bumping into each other, exchanging words of apologies to one another instead of ’I love you’.

And suddenly the word ‘sorry’ becomes repetitive as it changes nothing but to add more into the destructive flame. You probably thought at some point that playing with fire is exciting. It's thrilling for some, and sure there's a bit of truth in it.

But too much of something isn't a good thing—anything should be done in moderate amount, and even a five year old knows that playing with the fire too much will destroy you (and him, and everything).

You can drown in the pool of guilt but no one will save you but yourself, just as how you won't be able to made it out safely if you don't leave the burning room. Perhaps you thought that it's still fixable. You're a fixer, after all. A solution-oriented person.

Sometimes you think that you can fix everything, but my dear, some things just aren't meant to fixed. You don't have control to everything; so walk out of the burning room — no one's gonna save yourself but you.

Close the door as you leave. Let everything else crumbles but don't lose yourself while you're at it. You still have a long way to go, so take a break, you deserve it. Walk into a room that isn't burning or cold or empty but walk into a place that brings you comfort.

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room (Part 1)

The room is burning and yet there they're slow dancing inside the burning room.

While to everyone else it is crystal clear that it's a cue to leave the room it still lingers in the back of their mind that somehow they can save the burning room from whatever catastrophe that set the whole place ablaze. Yet neither refused to leave despite the scorching fire.

Walk out of the room and everything else crumbles down into ashes so you hold onto the slightest bit of hope, wishing that you can put down the fire with the last bit of your insanity. Holding on hurts but at least it's better than letting go of his hand, or so you thought.
