He contested the 1948 elections to the Legislative Yuan in Rehe province and was initially declared elected. However, the other woman elected from Rehe province, Li Hui-min claimed that He's election was invalid as she had not resigned from her role at Rehe Provincial Girls' High School five months prior to the election, as required by article 13 of the Election Act and had also used pupils at the school to promote her candidacy. The High Court of Rehe Province ruled that He had violated the electoral act, and she was replaced in parliament by Wang Zhebin.
