In 1962, Hu graduated from Beijing Sport University. Hu played youth football for both Beijing and Bayi before making the step-up to Bayi's senior team.[1]

International career

In March 1965, Hu made his debut for China, playing against Guinea, Mali and Albania as part of a tour.[2] On 28 June 1966, Hu scored a hat-trick in a 10–4 victory against Tanzania. Just under a month later, on 23 July 1966, Hu scored another hat-trick for China, this time in a 6–0 win over Syria.[3]

Death

Starting in 1966, Hu began to be the victim of persecution as a result of the Cultural Revolution, being accused of being a "counterrevolutionary". During the same time, his father was imprisoned. In 1969, Hu hanged himself from a tree in Yuanmingyuan Park in Beijing. At the time of Hu's death, he only weighed 40kg.[1]
