With the careful teaching by teachers, and he was clever and studious, he was good at observing animals since very young.In particular, he got a lot of inspiration from observing the peacock's habits such as splashing, foraging, looking in the eyes and opening its screen. The peacock dance he performed has a unique style. The peacock's life habits can be vividly expressed by his eyes and shaking his shoulders.

In 1982, he participated in the national minority dance competition and won the second prize for his performance Elephant-foot Drum(《象脚鼓》).
