He previously worked in the China News Service. He was awarded the Secretary of Home Affairs Youth Recognition Scheme in October 2016.

Political career
In 2019, amidst the ongoing social movement against the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill, Civil Force alongside the pro-Beijing camp suffered an unprecedented defeat in the District Council elections. The NPP/Civil Force alliance fielded 28 candidates but did not win any seats. Eddie Lam Yu-Sing was among the unsuccessful candidates. As a result, Civil Force were eradicated from all the district councils for the first time since its establishment.
Yu-Sing and party ally Victor Chan regrouped and entered the 2020 Hong Kong legislative election, hoping to emulate fellow NPP members Eunice Yung and the internet celebrity Dominic Lee.
