Lei Zhenping (Chinese: 雷珍萍; born 1980), also known by her stage name Ayouduo (Chinese: 阿幼朵), is a Chinese singer and actress of Miao ethnicity.

Early life

Ayouduo was born in 1980 in Dazhai Village in Gulong Town, Huangping County, Guizhou. She grew up in a musical family, with her mother being a recognized singer and inheritor of Miao folk songs, a national intangible cultural heritage. Following the death of her father and two brothers early in life, she was raised by her mother alongside her three sisters. At 14, she participated in a local singing competition, marking the start of her musical journey. In 1993, she performed as a singer and dancer at Beijing Ethnic Culture Village for a year before working briefly as a hotel waitress in Kaili and later as a migrant worker in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.[1][2] She is a graduate of the Beijing Normal University.[3]

Entertainment career

Ayouduo rose to prominence in 1999 after winning the gold award at the Guizhou Youth Singer Competition and the first prize in the Guizhou division of the National Ethnic Folk Singer Selection.[4] Her breakthrough came in 2005 when she performed at the Musikverein in Vienna, Austria.[4] That same year, she performed at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.[5]

In 2007, she released her debut album Drunken Miao Land.[6] In 2009, she debuted in film with Iron Blood Police Spirit (2009), playing the role of a policewoman.[7] Her other notable musical performances include the 2006 Nanning Folk Song Festival, the 2012 "Folk Songs on the Road" tour in Guiyang, and the 2018 CCTV Spring Festival Gala in Qiandongnan.[8][9]

In 2019, she participated in the "Good Deeds Guizhou" charity walk to bring awareness to anti-poverty measures.[10] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in China, she released her song The Weight of Life.[11] She has served as a deputy to the 11th and 14th National People's Congresses (2011 & 2023) and Guizhou Drug Rehabilitation Ambassador (2019).[12][13][14]

In 2021, she was elected to the Chinese Literary Volunteers Association and in 2022, she became vice chairwoman of the Guizhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles.[15] In 2024, she released the single Singing the Dragon Boat Tune Again.[16]
