While he first gained attention for his role in the 2023青春网剧 With You for Ten Years, Give Me Half a Life (《与你十年予我半生》), he has since become a familiar face in the booming short‑form sector. With a growing list of popular micro‑dramas like Spring Intends to Enter the Soft Ear (《春意入软耳》) and Tiger Mom Arrives, the Whole Family of Rebels Stands at Attention (《虎妈驾到，全家反骨仔乖乖立正》), he has proven his ability to adapt to the industry’s shifting landscape and consistently deliver engaging performances.

In the series, he played Zhou Yu, a character in a story following five young people from very different backgrounds. While this role established him as a rising actor in traditional dramas, his subsequent pivot to micro‑dramas proved to be a defining move. His performance in the 2026 short drama Tiger Mom Arrives, where he took on the role of a strict yet loving mother, showcased his range and helped him reach a wider audience in the burgeoning short‑form genre.
