He won the Warcraft III championship at the WCG (World Cyber Games) in both 2005 and 2006. His fighting spirit and achievements remain a significant chapter in the history of Chinese esports.

In an exclusive interview with CGTN, Sky shared a book that deeply influenced him — Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, and his favorite quote that chimes in with his own experience in esports: "For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued..." Sky spoke about the power of entering a state of flow—a mental state of total concentration where distractions fade, attention sharpens, and the player becomes fully immersed in the moment. He shared how this mindset helped him notice critical details during training and competition, allowing him to perform at his best.
