Character evaluation

Zhao Lei has angular lines, a face full of oriental characteristics, and an expression that looks like he has never been in the world (comments of Qianjiang Evening News).

Zhao Lei's facial features are very delicate. Although his skeleton is very small, Zhao Lei with gentle temperament is completely in line with the western aesthetic of oriental men (Southern Metropolis Daily).

Zhao Lei is a tall, thin man. He has a sunny smile. Although he doesn't like to talk, every word he says is cold and humorous (review of the Bund pictorial).

Zhao Lei is like an elegant lone wolf, calmly and soberly judging the situation. He has an ambiguous attraction between boys and men. He is colorless and has a thousand faces. His mature and reserved temperament is much more comfortable than when he first appeared on the international t-channel.
