What is unpredictable in life is that he worked at Fujian Front Radio for a year. Because of his father's death, he was demobilized and returned to Beijing, and then worked in Ministry of Railways .
However, even though he works in the Ministry of Railways, Zhao He still cares about broadcasting work.

He also won the " Golden Microphone Award " in 2008 with his professional and strong hosting ability, and won the title of "Television Art Worker with Both Virtue and Art" in 2009.
After this, Zhao He put his work focus behind the scenes because he was promoted to deputy director of CCTV Economic Channel and rarely appeared on TV screens.
In June 2021, he retired from CCTV gloriously at the age of 60.
What people never expected was that they had only been retired for half a year. On January 10, 2022, Zhao He died of cancer at the age of 60.

In the 1999 Spring Festival Gala, in the sketch " Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow ", Song Dandan said to Zhao Benshan : "I really want to see Zhao Zhongxiang", "Zhao Zhongxiang is my idol."

Young audiences know more about Zhao Zhongxiang from "Animal World" and " People and Nature ". Zhao Zhongxiang has provided more than 2,500 collections of commentary for "Animal World" and "Man and Nature", with more than 1,800 words of commentary.
His words "Spring is here, and it is the season for animals to mating again." It still lingers in the minds of young audiences.
