However, according to a recent report from Yue Niu News, Zhang Lei, a former female host of CCTV, recently found a new employer and entered the Beijing Film Academy as a teacher. Zhang Lei, 45 years old, was admitted to the Broadcasting Department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute (now Communication University of China) from Yangquan City in 1998 with the first place in the arts category in Shanxi Province. Her final academic qualification was a master's degree in film and television media from Peking University. The position she intends to be hired for is the broadcasting and hosting art position at Beijing TV University of Media and Communication, with a professional level of seven. According to the general professional and technical position recognition in universities, she entered the school as an associate professor.

According to previous reports by China Daily, Zhang Lei participated in "Challenge the Host" in 2006. At that time, she stood out from more than 11,000 contestants, won first place, and signed a contract with CCTV on the spot during the show.
Later, she entered "Happy China Tour" and worked as an on-location host for 4 years. 300 cities in 4 years, on average, it took almost 4 days to fly to one city. At that time, Zhang Lei was a veritable "flying man in the sky". She often carries a large suitcase with her. After visiting several cities, she goes home to change a batch of clothes and then immediately returns to the airport to fly to the next city. Home has become her transit point, and when she wakes up every day, she doesn’t know which city’s hotel she is in. The work of outdoor shooting is also very hard. I get up at 3 or 4 o'clock to put on makeup, rush, and shoot. Once, Zhang Lei and her colleagues spent 13 hours going back and forth, just to shoot a shot of more than ten seconds.
Public information shows that Zhang Lei also hosted many programs such as "Happy Heroes", "Variety Show Festival", and "Spring Festival Gala" at CCTV. She resigned from CCTV last year.
Jimu News reporter noticed that currently, Zhang Lei’s Douyin account has 2.8 million fans, and most of the videos posted are lifestyle videos such as outfits. Her label is: literature and art, exploring poetry and painting; healing, pursuing self-growth.
Regarding Zhang Lei’s family, news about “marrying a rich man” has been circulating on the Internet. Zhang Lei once thought that these gossips should not be ignored, but the Internet era is not an era of "the clean ones will clean themselves up". Instead, the rumors have been circulated for a long time. Regarding this "stubborn" rumor rooted in the Internet, Zhang Lei denied it in interviews in the early years.
On September 6, 2023, Zhang Lei posted another article saying that a rumor that has been circulating for 11 years has been refuted many times. Instead of being eliminated, it has become more and more intense. The stories become more and more outrageous, with only one purpose: bottomless traffic. We really can’t let these unscrupulous self-media and marketing accounts get used to it.She therefore issued a solemn statement: Please release and disseminate relevant infringing information to immediately stop all rumors and slander, delete the infringing information immediately and eliminate the impact, otherwise all infringing subjects will be held accountable for full legal responsibility!
