Van Fan made his debut in 2002 with the Chinese version theme song I Believe to the South Korean film My Sassy Girl. After a somewhat mediocre singing career Van Fan started to show up in local TV series since 2005, and rose to fame in the Greater China Area in 2008 after the significant success of Cape No. 7, whose 2 theme songs As Happy as Can Be (Chinese: 無樂不作; pinyin: Wú Lè Bú Zuò) and South of Border (Chinese: 國境之南; pinyin: Guó Jìng Zhī Nán) are also sung by him.
In 2010, Van Fan played a role in the new film "The Break-up Artist" (Chinese: 分手達人; pinyin: Fēnshŏu Dá Rén), produced by the international superstar Jackie Chan. The film was shot in Beijing and Taiwan and is expected to be released on Valentine's Day of 2011.
