Han represented China at the 2019 World Junior Curling Championships throwing fourth stones for Jiang Jiayi. The team went 8-1 through the round robin, which earned them the number one seed in the playoffs. In the playoffs, they lost the semi-final to Russia's Vlada Rumiantseva and the bronze medal game to Switzerland, settling for fourth place.

Womens

The victory earned a spot for China at the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship, which was cancelled due to COVID-19. A year later, Han skipped China at the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship, finishing tenth with a 6–7 record.^[3]
