He first started raising eyebrows in by winning the National Youth Xiangqi Championships consecutively from 1998-2000 and started to take part in the National Team Tournaments by representing Shanghai Putong Districts Guangyang team in 2001. He has good results and caught the eye of Legendary GM Hu Ronghua who accepted him as his last disciple in 2001, joining the ranks of other greats like GM Wan Chunlin and GM Sun Yongzheng. His Xiangqi kungfu reached new heights and he won the Under 16 National Xiangqi Championships, earning the title of Xiangqi Master.
