Hu's studio was set up in Guangming Culture and Arts Center in September 2020. Hu felt his attachment to Guangming in his first visit to the city. The inclusive, open and innovative spirit of Guangming provided him the inspiration for art creation. Various resources in Guangming are available for his artistic conception and creation.

Many audience members are amazed at Hu's ability to convey emotions through his body language, sometimes a subtle expression, a fingertip movement, or even a silent halt. His delicate expressiveness and unique physical style were praised by famous dancer Yang Liping. "God has given him noodle-like instep and a soft bone-free body. He is a gift from God," Yang once said.

The ceremony of cooperation between the Guangming District's publicity department and Hu was held Dec. 1, 2022. The famous young dancer was officially appointed as the third cultural advisor introduced to Guangming.

In the future, he will actively involve himself in the cultural development of Guangming District.

In recent years, Guangming District has been attaching importance to the cultivation and development of literary and artistic talents, and has made many efforts to support cultural projects and talent activities. In the future, Guangming will make every effort to attract more outstanding artistic talents.
