At aged 10 while performing calligraphy, he was spotted by TV drama director and selected to star in his first TV drama "Our Class Song".

In 2013, he became well-known for his roles in the wuxia drama "Swordsman" and the ancient costume drama "Legend of Lu Zhen" with which he won the "The Actor Award with Great Youthful Appeal" at the 4th Anhui Satellite TV National Drama Festival. He went on to win the "Most Promising Actor at the Asian Idol Festival" and the "Most Popular Actor in China at the Youth's Choice Annual Ceremony”.
