Continued with his first career choice

Lu Xun — Zhou Shuren — is still renowned today. Yet if he had continued with his first career choice, the world might never have heard of him.

Hi,

Is the bolded "with" in the above optional? If not, can you tell me why? Thanks.

Oh, I suppose that you could omit 'with' without affecting the meaning, but ' continue with + noun/gerund' is the usual collocation.
