It bothered ZG a lot, so when he was 20 years old, he began to cut his own hair and those around him. He gradually embarked on the way of becoming a professional barber. His current work and his unique style have also won awards around the world. After signing with Andis, ZG began to teach in mainland China and Taiwan, and his courses provoked strong praise on both sides of the motherland.  In addition, he is also a mechanical maniac. He knows the structure of each clipper, which helps him control the tools well.
