In June 2017, while performing his graduation showcase at the academy, he received an invitation from TVB executives for an interview, and immediately accepted to join the 29th Artiste Training Class due to his enthusiasm for the television industry. In March 2018, he became a TVB basic artiste contract artist. In 2020, he gained recognition for playing "young Xie Jiafu" in "Final Sentence 18 Years Later" and drew further attention for his role as "Situ Si Zheng" in "Mistaken Web" in July of the same year.
