She trained at the "Lianhua Actor Training School" and made her screen debut in "The Three-Day Massacre in Guangzhou" in 1937. She retired from acting for a period and worked as a nightclub dancer before returning to the screen in films such as "The Puppet Beauty" and "Behind the Shanghai Fireline" in 1938, as well as "The Singer Bai Mudan", "The Amorous Doctor", and "The Marriage-Minded Woman" in 1939.

In 1940, she was involved in a fraud case known as the "Celestial Beauty Swindle" when she lost HK$1,000 in a rigged gambling game, but the accused were ultimately acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
