TVB chose her as one of the "Ten Stars of the Galaxy" in 1988 alongside Aaron Kwok, Ching Soo Zhen, and others. She moved to ATV in 1995 after her contract ended, then immigrated to Vancouver, Canada in 2004 and retired from the entertainment industry. She worked as a host at Canadian Chinese Radio AM1470, presenting programs like "Careful Wah's Street" and "Whatever You Like Wah." She returned to acting in 2018 in the drama "Another Era" alongside Linda Chung. She created her own YouTube channel "Immigrated Wah" in 2020.
