Career

In 2003, Zhang take his role as Ga Yu in the film Kekexili: Mountain Patrol filmed by Chinese director Lu Chuan (陆川) based on true events.

During the filming, Zhang and the crew faced a life challenge, just like the characters in the film. Zhang once told a reporter "I couldn't stand the pain of the AMS in the beginning and dreamt about going back home every day. It took me one whole month to get used to everything, and now I just wanted to complete my work well."

After Kekexili, Zhang embarked on a number of television series, most of which had a Chinese civil war theme.
