Early life
Wu Lei developed a passion for the football from an early age. At that time, Jiangsu Suning FC organized a summer camp. Wu Lei didn't fulfill the requirement of age. After a short pleading, he was enrolled into the camp. After couple training sessions, his football talent began to appear. The first thing for him after going home is to take a volleyball out of the bed and go out to kick.

In 2003, Wu Lei, who was attending the No.1 Elementary School in Gulou District, Nanjing, was at the juncture of elementary school graduation. He was hesitant about pursuing a professional career. In the end, Wu Lei took the recommendation letter written by Li Hongbing (a former Chinese footballer) personally and followed his father to the Genbao football base in Chongming Island, Shanghai. After Xu Genbao (a former coach for Chinese football) went to Nanjing to complete the migration registration for Wu Lei, Wu Lei and the Genbao Football Base officially signed a contract.

Style of play
In addition to his scoring ability, Wu Lei's vision and attack positioning are also worthy of praise. At the penalty point, Wu Lei also has no lack of confidence. Perhaps height is not the advantage of Wu Lei, but he can still score through the header in some games. Wu Lei, who is 1.73 meters tall, has not been in good condition. On the body, his height can not be compared with many mighty players; on speed, he is not too extraordinary. It is these innate defects that make Wu Lei more brainstorming than other players.

Reception
Wu Lei's scoring ability is innate. He is a gifted player. (Gao Hongbo Review)

The Chongming base cost me more than 30 million yuan. A Wu Lei can let me recover all the investment. He is China's Maradona. (Xu Genbao Review)

This little eye, thin body, always with a smile on the little man, full of aura in the football field, he can always find a way to send the ball into the opponent's goal. (Tencent Review)

Influence
Wu lei transferred from Shanghai SIPG to Espanyol on 28 January 2019. This transfer drew millions of fans in China watching games of Espanyol. According to PPTV, the official broadcaster of La Liga in China, more than 25 million fans in China have watched the game online RCD Espanyol 3:1 against Real Valladolid, in which Wu Lei scored his first goal in La Liga.

Claim a second grandfather
When Wu Lei was a child, his family conditions were not good. There were many gifted kids from low-income families in the Genbao base. Xu Genbao’s solution was to help them get into a richer family. Xu Genbao is selective about the sponsor family. First of all, the conditions should be better. The most important thing is to have a family with decency and prestige. Finally, Xu Genbao chose Cheng Shifa, a painter who was on good terms with himself. As Cheng Shifa was old, Wu Lei claimed Cheng Shifa as his second grandfather and then claimed his son as his second father. After claiming this grandfather, Wu Lei’s monthly living expenses have been settled. In the team’s break, he often went to live in Cheng Shifa’s home. Wu Lei lived in a teammate's home before. Until Wu Lei getting into the professional league, this "sponsorship" came to an end. On July 17, 2007, the date of Cheng's death, Wu Lei made a special trip to condole on him.

Marital status
In 2014, Wu Lei married. In November 2015, Wu Lei became a father for the first time, and his wife gave birth to a daughter for him. In April 2017, Wu Lei’s son was born.
