He spent most of his childhood with his grandmother as his parents were not in a happy marriage.

Then, one day, when he was 12 he saw a dance program on TV and imitated the dancer to do a split.

His grandmother was impressed as she had never seen a boy his age do this.

There, he received training in Chinese dance and a bit of ballet.

Later, he joined the performance ensemble of Shanghai police.
