After graduating from Chinese University Hong Kong in communications in 1984, he started his career in TVB, Television Broadcast Ltd.無線電視 as a researcher and scriptwriter and moved onto the film industry as art director and scriptwriter in mid-eighties. However, he made his name in Hong Kong as a writer of controversial articles in newspapers and magazines. His columns have appeared in Oriental Daily News東方日報, Ming Pao Newspaper明報, Sing Tao Newspaper星島日報, Hong Kong Economic Times經濟日報 and drew him many readers. He gained his fame by working as a photographer and editor/writer to City Magazine號外, the most exciting glossy magazine at this period, through which he discovered his talent as an image maker.

His photographic clients include famous publishers like Jonathan Cape, Random Century and Harper Collins etc. His videos were shown in London Film Festival, Rotterdam Film Festival and in many European countries with acclaims. In 1994, he was selected onto the British Film Institute Screenwrite Program, where he developed his first film script and this paved the way for his eventual debut as a feature film director.

His novel inspired Wong Kar Wai to make HAPPY TOGETHER in Buenos Aires and he took up his offer as his photographer during the filmmaking in 1996. In 1997, he returned to Hong Kong to find the chance of tuning his novel THE ACCIDENT心猿意馬 into a feature film, which hit the cinema screen in Hong Kong , January 1999.
