Early life and career[]
Wong was born in Xinjiang. His father is a Han Chinese while his mother is a Uyghur. He moved to Hong Kong when he was a child. Wong studied graphic design at the Hong Kong Art School, and worked as a designer before he was scouted by a talent agent in 2004. Wong attended The Colorado Springs School in the United States. On 28 March 2005, Wong debuted as a singer under the record label Neway Star with his first single "訊號 (Signal)" and released an album with Neway.
In 2008, Wong joined TVB and made his television debut in the drama Wars of In-Laws II. He won the 2013 TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Male Artiste award. In 2015, Wong took on his first male leading role in the comedy drama Brick Slaves, garnering his first Best Actor nomination at the 2015 TVB Anniversary Awards. In addition, he won the StarHub TVB Award for My Favourite TVB Supporting Actor for the drama Tomorrow Is Another Day. Wong broke out with his role as "Ditch" in the 2016 drama Over Run Over. His on-screen partnership with Tracy Chu was favoured by audience, for which he won the Most Popular On-Screen Partnership award with Chu at the 2016 TVB Anniversary Awards. Wong was placed in the top five nominations for Best Actor and Most Popular Male Character as well.
In 2017, Wong further gained popularity with his role as "Saving" in My Unfair Lady. He earned critical acclaimed with his performance as "Hope Man", a blind barrister, in the legal drama Legal Mavericks, for which he won the Best Actor award at the 2017 TVB Anniversary Awards. With the same role in the sequel Legal Mavericks 2020, he won this title again at the 2020 TVB Anniversary Awards.
