This setback led coach Cheng Yaodong to recommend him to the Genbao Football Base, where he began formal training under Xu Genbao’s guidance.{{Cite web |last=上观 |date=2025-02-01 |title=全运全明星 |url=https://export.shobserver.com/baijiahao/html/853594.html |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=export.shobserver.com}}
