Breakthrough in Film and Television

In 2000, at the age of 22, Qiao made his film debut in Flying Dragon Leaping Tiger, a Chinese-Hong Kong martial arts collaboration directed by Alan Lam. He co-starred with renowned actors such as Sammo Hung, Fan Shaohuang, and Cheng Pei-pei. Interestingly, his character in the film was also named "Qiao Zhenyu."

Although this film did not immediately skyrocket his fame, it officially marked his entry into the entertainment industry. With his striking appearance and unique charisma, he quickly became a sought-after actor.

His career continued to flourish with numerous high-profile roles, cementing his status as a celebrated actor in Chinese entertainment.

2013 : Farewell and Family Beginnings
