He partnered with Liu Yuchen to form one of China’s top men’s doubles pairs. The duo achieved consistent success on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour, winning several Superseries and World Tour titles, and earning a reputation as one of the strongest pairings in international badminton.
