He joined the Communist Party of China in 1956.[1] He returned to China in 1959 and had a brief assignment to the Ninth Research Institute of the Second Ministry of Machinery Industry as a welder. In 1959 he went back to his alma mater and obtained a K.T.H. degree in 1963. When he returned to China, he served as a senior engineer at the Beijing Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology Research Institute (BAMTRI) (now AVIC Manufacturing Technology Institute).[2] He was president of the China Welding Association from 1990 to 1995 and vice-president of the International Institute of Welding from 1992 to 1995.

He was a deputy to the 11th, 12th and 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.[1] He was a delegate to the 6th National People's Congress and a member of the 9th and 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[1][3]
