He began practicing judo at age sixteen and learned martial arts such as Hung Gar, Choy Li Fut, and Wing Chun. His academic performance was average in childhood but he excelled in drawing and school theatre, where his self-taught choreography caught the attention of dance teacher Lai Hoi Ning who taught him dance for free. He sold manga on the streets in the 1970s before joining the Shaw Brothers acting training course in 1974 after failing to be accepted into TVB's training program. He began his acting career as a guest actor at CTV in 1976 and appeared in the television series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." He then moved to work as an actor and martial arts performer at RTV and TVB, where he met Lei Ka Ding who introduced him to martial arts stunt work. He formally joined TVB in 1979 after the closure of CTV, working as an actor, stuntman, and assistant action director. He became known for playing villainous roles such as thieves and gangsters in TVB dramas throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He left TVB in 2002 after 23 years with the station and transitioned to behind-the-scenes stage and television production, handling stage design, lighting, lighting, and concert planning.
