Character evaluation

It's too difficult to be a low-key person and act in a down-to-earth way in the impetuous entertainment circle. Li Xuejian is such an artist with both virtue and art. He is tirelessly pursuing new heights in acting, but he is very low-key about his private life (Beiqing online review).

Li Xuejian, who plays Lin Biao in the drama the September 13 incident, is very similar to the former defense minister. He portrays Lin Biao as a sick and paranoid madman who reads obscure and dignified aphorisms in a false voice (comments by AFP reporter Francis Delong).

Li Xuejian is an outstanding performing artist growing up in the reform and opening up. He has been engaged in drama, film and television performance for more than 40 years. He advocates morality and art, pursues persistently, forms a performance style of "implication, sincerity, honesty and simplicity", creates many vivid artistic images, and shows the changes of the times since the reform and opening up. Jiao Yulu, Li Dazhao, Zhao Shuli, Yang Shanzhou, born in the sky, desire and other dozens of films and TV dramas, which starred or participated in, are deeply loved by the audience. The image of Jiao Yulu, Yang Shanzhou and other outstanding communist party members, which has played an important role in promoting the main melody, eulogizing the hero model, highlighting the national spirit and the spirit of the reform and opening up era, has become a model It plays a leading role in value.

On December 18, 2020, he was selected into the top 500 Chinese brand characters in 2020, ranking 95.
