He has also received numerous top awards including grand prize in the "Helen Cup" Shanghai International Piano Competition; second prize in the Wiesbaden International Piano Competition, Beijing International Piano Festival Young Artists Concerto, and CCTV Piano and Violin Competition; third prize at the Concerto Competition 'Theodor Leschetizky' for Gifted Young Pianists; honourable mention from the 2017 San Jose International Piano Competition; and the Zhou Guangren Young Pianist Award.
