Acting mirrors life—and through each role, Li Yunrui finds new layers of himself.
“Every character requires you to bring in different thoughts and perspectives. As you do that, you grow too. It‘s like a ball constantly expanding,”he says.

Basketball is a game of both offense and defense.
Li Yunrui’s playing style, as fans described after watching *Supernova Games*, is defined by “strong endurance, solid shooting skills, and smart strategy—balanced on both ends of the court.”

Much like his acting: on offense, he actively seeks opportunities; on defense, he holds his ground and makes each role stand firm.
A boy who grew up on the court has finally met the role of his life—and now, he shines.

An athlete’s goal is to win championships; an actor’s destiny is to be seen.
Ten years since his debut, Li Yunrui’s journey from sports student to actor is a story shaped by talent, temperament, and a quiet rationality.

Much like his presence onscreen—elegant and striking, a handsome general with layered charm—what seems like contrast is, in truth, two sides of the same coin.But such narratives often live in the context of personal success. For the one living it, each step is less about glory and more about a distinct kind of wisdom:waiting patiently—like letting the grapes ripen in their own time.
#esquirefine #李昀锐

“Hard work will be rewarded—maybe sooner, maybe later—but I believe it will come.”

Now, a fresh and wide-open world is gradually unfolding before Li Yunrui’s eyes…

Boy or gentleman? He never rushes to answer.
Instead, he turns each step into a drumbeat—
Slower, steadier, sharper.
And so, we begin to hear his rhythm,
And remember his name.

In the height of summer, Zhang Wanyi sits on a chair that looks as if it’s about to melt. A powerful wind howls through, sending his hair and silk scarf fluttering wildly.
Beyond the frame, several other “melting” props await their cue—each ready to step into the scene.

Today’s shoot feels much like Zhang Wanyi’s world: expressive, irregular, yet full of charm.In this fleeting moment, all the heat and restlessness soften into something quietly delightful.

The clock ticks on as Zhang Wanyi, in his sunglasses, slowly drifts into a dreamlike haze of drowsiness.

The coffee he used to delay time turns into a warm, drifting mist. A gust of wind pushes the bicycle until it melts away—and all these charming, delayed moments are nothing but reality quietly pressing the rewind button.
