Since 1974, Hu has been following the national team across Japan, France and Spain for exhibition. He also became a two-time national wushu champion in 1981 and 1982.
Hu was discovered by director Zhang Xinyan of Great Wall Pictures and cast him in The Shaolin Temple, and later starred in Kids From Shaolin and Martial Arts Of Shaolin. Hu's fame even took him to Japan, where he starred in the action saga Shogun's Shadow as a Chinese warrior.
