The Rocket crafted breaks of 73, 87, 83, 70, 58, 53 and 72 during his second-round win.
Ronnie said: "There are so many good Chinese players, who are technically very good and play amazing games.
"That was the third time I’ve played this guy and he beat me the first two times.
"For me, it was a big match and I had to just block out that I’d lost the previous two and try to play my game."

It was a good day for Neil Robertson on Monday as the Australian cruised into Round 3 after victory over Fan Zhengyi.
Robertson said, after setting up a clash with Barry Hawkins: "I’m very pleased because Fan is a really dangerous player.
"He has beaten Ronnie O’Sullivan in the final of a ranking event before. The key was to try and limit his chances to tough ones where he might be leaving me in.
"That happened a couple of times and I potted some good long balls. I scored really heavily and that is going to be the key this week."

Ronnie O’Sullivan met Jackie Chan for the first time on his latest trip to Asia – despite the pair sharing several FaceTime chats.
The Rocket, 48, was presented with a bouquet of flowers by the Kung Fu icon, 70, last Friday while in Macau.
For the cameras, the pair hit a few balls on the baize along with Jak Jones, who was the runner-up at the last World Snooker Championship at the Crucible.
It was the first time O’Sullivan and Chan had come face-to-face even though they had spoken before on the telephone through mutual pals based in Hong Kong.
The seven-time world champion explained: “We have spoken a few times on the phone, on Facetime.
“We have mutual friends. Jackie has friends in Hong Kong, who are friends of mine."
The Rocket returns to action in China tomorrow.
