Biography

Ren Han is a Chinese actress from mainland China, born in Laohekou, Hubei Province in 1987 into a family where her father was a civil servant. From a young age she loved singing, dancing and acting, but her father opposed her artistic ambitions. In 2000 she enrolled in the Wuhan Art Academy despite her father's opposition, and in 2001 was accepted into the dance department of Wuhan Sports University but he objected again. In 2002 she entered the Wuhan Police Academy and became head of the cultural department of the student union. In 2005 her father finally agreed to let her participate in an arts competition in Beijing, where she won the gold medal for top ten actresses in the national talent competition organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, opening the door to her acting career. She then attended a study program at the Beijing Film Academy in 2005. She appeared in several films and TV series including "Shaolin Man", "A Woman Out of Prison" and "Home is Bigger than the Sky". When acting opportunities diminished, her father decided in 2006 to sell their home and move to Beijing to work as her manager until she signed with Jinyingma Film Group in 2010. She continued her career in TV series such as "Secretary Api", "Railway Guerrilla 2", "Silly Spring" and "Cold Storm" but remained in supporting roles. In 2012 she signed with the new company China Television Guoli Media Group. She also won several titles including second place in the Wuhan Beauty Pageant in 2011 and best photogenic award in the National Campus Beauty Contest in 2011.
