Cheng Qian entered CCTV in 1992, hosted many variety shows, and also co-hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with Ni Ping, and participated in hosting more than 100 issues of "Chia Tai Variety", which was known as "CCTV Brother". However, just as Cheng Qian's career was booming, he chose to leave CCTV in 1997 and became the host of "Happy Story" in 1999, becoming the first generation of entertainment program hosts in the mainland.

Before his later career, he turned to an actor and filmed more than 20 film and television works such as "With You", "Great Shanghai Storm", "Oriental Shuo", etc., but unfortunately most of the response was flat. According to Changchun International Trade, Cheng Qian is currently focusing on the behind-the-scenes work of film and television investment.
Recently, a group of recent photos of Cheng Qian, who have not appeared for a long time, were exposed. Although he is 58 years old, he is still elegant and handsome, and his appearance has not changed to be praised by netizens as "frozen age".
