Recently Bingbing Li has released a personal debut album. On the inside of the album Bingbing Li has placed a small, handwritten speech to everyone with a few profound thoughts. She has worked tirelessly on this new album until 3:00 in the morning, which has made the staff a bit impatient to send the final version to the printers.

According to the issuing company the album (named after the actress) already has 30,000 pre-orders, which has made the company very happy and which now looks forward to her career. When the news about these preorders arrived it impressed the entire Zhao Baogang and Renquan, Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Li Xiaolu, Yi Nengjing, Zheng Huang, Tzong-Hann Lee, and Lin Yu all came to congratulate Bingbing along with many friends to witness this glorious moment. Bingbing Li was excited and moved to tears over the news. In a conference Haidie Group CEO, Mr Li Peng and Bi Xiao Shi, (also on the scen), said, “Bingbing Li is an excellent artist, and since she has entered the Haidie group she has worked very hard. We add to her ‘hard’ accomplishments her new music career, she may not be the best, but I think that she has made the most effort. She has always been on time to study and recording classes, and she studies and practices until satisfied. Let us also remember that she’s such a [great] spirit. I hope the her concerts draw an even greater following.” The implication is that Bingbing Li’s music career is off to a fantastic start with a very promising road ahead.

When Bingbing Li joined Haidi she did not rush to record a record but spent a year in preparation before finally producing a debut album. Bingbing Li said she is very new to the field of music, and is very happy with this opportunity to study, and with the help of I Shixiong Lin Jun Jie she has been able to learn a lot. Lin Yu has also been an excellent singer-songwriter and he wrote to her the angel [song?] She has a lot of good friends whom have helped her along the way and has advanced with Li Jui-chul’s cooperation, singing the theme song for “Kung Fu King” (Forbidden Kingdom in the U.S.) To paraphrase: She now has a new perspective about music. Although she is still starting out her music career having a first album has made her very happy, and she hopes that if you like her films that you wil also enjoy her new album.

As the Opening Ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games draws closer, Bingbing Li, who has already participated as a Olympic torch bearer in Beijing, has urged people to travel “green,” using more subways and bus transports to ensure a smooth traffic. Beijing is China’s window to the world, and smiling faces will abound to greet foreign friends from abroad, as a smiling Beijing population will be the best business card.
