She was employed by the Shaw Studios between 1966 and 1972, where she appeared in films such as A Cause to Kill in 1970.
In 1972 she briefly returned to Taiwan, where she made some television appearances. She then went on to appear in several Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s, with her last appearance in the 1998 picture Bishōnen, making some 50 appearances between 1964 and 1998.
