Wang started his career about in the 1990s. Because his specialty is so rare, he must also make all the special brushes and ink himself. Wang once spent 7 years to write 350 thousand traditional Chinese characters on an arrow container which is only 85 centimeters tall and 29 meters long in diameter. His art was shown at the World Expo in Shanghai.
