BIOGRAPHY

Wang Chen Rui (Chinese: 王晨睿), credited internationally as Ray Chen, is a Chinese actor.

He first drew mainstream attention playing Shan Yu in the youth drama Mountain and Chen (2024), followed by Shi Bai Shan in Will You Think of Me at the First Time? (2025).

In 2026, he marked a comeback with the lead role of Gao Ran in the short-form boys’ love (BL) microdrama The Summer You Kissed Me, released through the independent Secret Of Us Official YouTube channel. The same year, he also appeared as Lei Ze Xin in Awakening the Steppe.

BLGLFlix editorial view

Look at where this series was released and you have most of the story about Chinese BL right now.

The Summer You Kissed Me went out through Secret Of Us Official, an independent YouTube channel, in five short episodes. Not a domestic streaming platform, not a broadcaster. Wang Chen Rui, credited internationally as Ray Chen, leads it as Gao Ran.

His other work sits in ordinary domestic television: Shan Yu in the youth drama Mountain and Chen in 2024, Shi Bai Shan in Will You Think of Me at the First Time? in 2025, Lei Ze Xin in Awakening the Steppe in 2026. The BL credit is the outlier, and it is the one that had to leave the country’s own distribution system to reach an audience.

The consequence for a reference site is that Chinese BL performers are documented almost entirely through international viewers rather than through press. There is no birth date on this page and no agency, not because nobody looked, but because a microdrama on an independent channel generates no paperwork anyone can cite.
