After composing Desert Night for solo zhongruan, he transferred to the composition department, but was expelled for failing the examinations in harmony, counterpoint and form, so he returned to the instrumental department and graduated in 1982. In 1984 he was appointed to work in the Opera House of Heilongjiang Province where he premiered his Chinese Orchestral Symphony No.2 in Harbin and a year later became the keyboard player of the Dongfang Music and Dance Troupe.
