As well as being UNESCO Special Ambassador for the Education of Women and Girls.

Ms. Peng Liyuan was born on November 20, 1962 in Shandong province, and is a famous folk music singer in the country. At the age of 15, President Xi Jinping's first lady passed the Shandong Academy of Arts.

At the age of 18, at a performance festival in Beijing, Le Vien shocked the domestic music world when performing the song "My Hometown Nghi Mong Son".

After that impression, Le Vien joined the army and brought her gifted voice to perform for the people and soldiers of China.

In 1993, Ms. Peng Liyuan was the first Chinese artist to perform abroad when she came to Singapore to participate in the Solo Festival. Since then she has traveled to more than 50 countries and territories to perform.

She was awarded the "Best Artist" award by the American Lincoln Center Arts Committee, and the "Best Artistic Contribution" award by the Austrian Federal Theater Committee and the Vienna State Theater.

Currently, Ms. Peng Liyuan holds the rank of major general and holds the position of Head of the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army of China and a visiting professor at Beijing University.

In 1986, a close friend of Peng Liyuan introduced her to a man. She did not like the form of matchmaking, so at first she intended to refuse. The day of the appointment arrived, Mrs. Banh deliberately chose a baggy military uniform, intending to "test" the other person to see if they were the type of person who focused on appearances or not.

According to Ms. Banh, before meeting Mr. Xi, her dream man was a talented, educated guy who did not need to be rich but needed to have confidence, steadfastness and toughness.

When introduced, the friend only said that this character is currently working in Xiamen city. At first, Mrs. Banh was a little worried because the distance was too far, but when she heard her friend say that this was a talented man, she agreed to meet.

Le Vien's first impression when meeting Mr. Xi was that this man dressed even more simply and "homely" than herself; On the outside, he looks a bit old before his time.

Right from Mr. Xi's first question: "How many types of singing is vocal music divided into?", Ms. Banh felt that this man was very close. After that, Mr. Xi asked again what songs Ms. Banh had sung. She replied that she once sang the song "In the Field of Hope", Mr. Xi said he had heard it before, it was a very good song.

The 40 minutes of chatting with Mr. Xi passed quickly, but Ms. Banh still felt a little attached. Finally, the two parted ways and promised to meet again. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Xi also confided to her: "I met you for less than 40 minutes, but I am sure that you are my wife."

A year later, the two decided to get married even though Ms. Banh's family had previously objected. A very simple wedding was held on September 1, 1987.

After discussing with her fiancé over the phone, Peng Liyuan went to the unit to ask for a letter of introduction and bought a plane ticket to fly directly to Xiamen. As soon as she arrived at the airport, Mr. Xi picked her up and took her to a photography shop to take wedding photos, then to the marriage registration office.

That day, the mayor and leaders of Xiamen city received a phone call from Mr. Xi Jinping inviting them to dinner at 7pm. On schedule, everyone gathered at the restaurant. When Mr. Xi introduced himself, everyone was surprised to learn that this was his wedding party.

In 1992, Ms. Banh gave birth to her first daughter, Ms. Tap Minh Trach, with the hope that her daughter would grow up to be a good person, useful to society.

The young couple had not been married long before they had to live apart, because each had their own career and were rarely together. However, both know how to sympathize and support each other's careers. Whenever he is free, even if it is late at night, Mr. Xi must make at least one phone call every day to check on his wife before he can rest assured.

Mrs. Peng Le Vien often accompanies her husband on trips, creating a lot of impression on the media and press. Some people even believe that China's First Lady's popularity may even surpass that of her husband.

As a famous artist, Ms. Peng Liyuan is quite simple, she does not choose expensive branded outfits or accessories. Perfect beauty, soaring voice, happy family... are what the Chinese public always remembers about her.

When her husband began to delve deeper into his political career, Mrs. Banh gradually retreated backstage. Occasionally, she appears on free music stages for the people. Middle-aged Mrs. Banh is loyal to her simple, friendly style.

When she became China's first lady, Ms. Peng Liyuan always impressed the domestic and foreign media with the image of a talented and talented woman. She often chooses an elegant, luxurious style with her hair tied in a high bun every time she appears in public.
