At his age of 23, Wu apprenticed to De Pan, the master wood carver of Statues of Fuzhou God. Wu's works display well of the historical hero's facial features and characters. His accurate carving skills and the uses of dark and brightness reinforce the figure's movement portraits. Wu is also famous for his exclusive "ripple carving skill", which gives the statue a vivid look with its flowing of the time.
Wu was named as Stone Sculpture Art Director of Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center in 2011, and created for it the works of Eighteen Arhats and the Founders of the Eight Buddhist sects.
