WIFE:

Peng Liyuan is a native of Yuncheng County, Shandong. Peng joined the People's Liberation Army in 1980 when she was 18. She began as an ordinary soldier, but with her vocal talent later performed at PLA performances to boost troop morale. Peng first performed nationally and came to fame during the earliest rendition of the CCTV New Year's Gala in 1982, when she performed On the Plains of Hope.
She has been married to PRC paramount leader Xi Jinping for over 25 years; they have a daughter named Xi Mingze (习明泽) born in 1992, nicknamed as Xiao Muzi (小木子). For the greater part of their relationship, Peng has had a considerable reputation within China, comparable to that of her politician husband. Since her husband is the leader of the PRC, she is the first lady of China.
Xi and Peng were introduced by friends like many Chinese couples in the 1980s. Xi was reputedly academic during their courtship, inquiring about ethnic Chinese music.Xi was the son of famous Chinese revolutionary Xi Zhongxun, and Peng's family obviously accepted the relationship with ease, due to his attitude. The general feeling at the time was that higher official's children were corrupt and arrogant. Xi, however, was reputedly modest and low-profile. After parental consent, the couple married on September 1, 1987 in Xiamen, Fujian. Four days later, Peng Liyuan returned to Beijing to appear in the national art festival and then immediately left for the United States and Canada to perform. Since then they have led largely separate lives, with Peng spending most of her time in Beijing and her husband in Fujian and later Zhejiang.
Peng has performed at almost every CCTV New Year's Gala since its inception except in 2008 after her husband's promotion. Her songs focus on ethnic or rural Chinese themes, and deal with a wide range of emotions expressed by ordinary rural citizens. She earned bachelor and master degrees from the China Conservatory of Music in Beijing.
Peng is actively involved in politics herself, and is a member of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
