Zheng was born in Qingdao, Shandong and graduated from Beijing Dance Academy.[4]

Zheng's enthusiasm with stage performance comes from his mother, who is a Beijing Opera actress.[citation needed] He was inspired by the musical Cats, and decided to pursue a career in musical theater after graduation. His notable musical roles include the Chinese adaptations of Jekyll/Hyde in Jekyll & Hyde, Quixote/Cervantes in Man of La Mancha, Stacee in Rock of Ages, and Michael in Murder Ballad.[5][6][7][8]

In March 2019, Zheng was recruited by Disney to sing the Mandarin version of the theme song "Baby Mine" for the fantasy adventure film Dumbo.[11] In August, Zheng acted in a stage play, The Poetic Age, for the first time, and was awarded the Best New Talent in Lead Roles of the 30th Shanghai Magnolia Stage Awards.[12] And since 2019, he has performed various leading roles in stage plays, including Emperor Guangxu in Deling and Cixi (2019 co-production of Tianjin People's Art Theatre and Hong Kong Repertory Theatre), Eben Cabot in Desire Under the Elms (2021 production of Beijing People's Art Theatre), and Frankenstein/Creature in Frankenstein (Chinese adaptation of 2011 British National Theatre production).[13]

Zheng made his movie debut in 2020, playing painter Gong Yushan in The Chanting Willows. The movie entered Main Competition Sector of the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Goblet Award.
