* Subjects have previously received at least one systemic treatment regimen (including but not limited to targeted therapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy) with disease progression determined by imaging during or after treatment;
* Cirrhosis status Child-Pugh score:≤7;
* Intrahepatic lesions were confirmed by imaging examination (arterial phase enhancement) within 28 days before the start of treatment. According to the RECIST1.1, there was at least one target lesion that could be stably evaluated;
* Expected survival time \> 12 weeks;
* Expression of GPC3 demonstrated by immunohistochemistry (IHC)
* ECOG Performance Status score: 0 to 1 point;
* Subjects should have adequate organ function;
* Subjects should be HBsAg negative. Subjects with positive HBsAg or positive HBcAb are required to have HBV-DNA \<2000 IU/ml;
* The blood pregnancy test of female subjects of childbearing age should be negative within 7 days before cell therapy and not during lactation; Female or male subjects of childbearing age need to take efficient tools or drug contraceptive measures during the whole research process or within one year after CAR-T cell transfusion (What happens later shall prevail);

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with completely resectable liver tumors or who are eligible for liver transplantation;
* Pregnant or lactating women;
* Active bacterial or fungal infections within 72 hours prior to gonorrhea clearance (excluding subjects who have no evidence of active infections and antibiotics are not on the prohibited drug list, and continue to use prophylactic antibiotics, antifungal drugs, or antiviral drugs);
* Patients who had received systemic steroids equivalent to \> 15 mg/day prednisone within 2 weeks before apheresis, except those who had recently used or are currently using inhaled steroids;
* Before apheresis, Hb \< 80 g/L, ANC \< 1.0 × 109 /L or PLT \< 60 × 109 /L;
* Current clinically significant ascites, which is defined as ascites that are physically positive or require intervention (e.g., puncture or medication) for control (those whose imaging result shows ascites requiring no intervention may be included);
* Imaging results:≥50% of the liver is replaced by tumor or portal vein main tumor thrombus, or tumor thrombus invasion of mesenteric vein / inferior vena cava;
* Previous or present hepatic encephalopathy;
* Active brain metastasis;
* Subjects with a history of organ transplantation or waiting for organ transplantation (including liver transplantation);
* Any of the following situations exist: Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in peripheral blood isperipheral blood hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive and HCV RNA positive. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive. Syphilis test positive.
* Other serious medical conditions that may limit the patient's participation in this trial;
* Subjects who received anti-tumor therapy within 2 weeks prior to apheresis, or who received any investigational drug or systemic anti-tumor therapy within 28 days (or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is more appropriate in the judgment of the investigator) prior to signing the informed consent form;
* Prior treatment with any therapy that is targeted to GPC3;
* At the time of signing the informed consent, toxicity caused by previous PD-1/PD-L1 treatment had not returned to grade 1 or baseline levels, except for hair loss and pigmentation;
* Other uncured malignant tumors in the past 5 years or at the same time, except for cervical cancer in situ and basal cell carcinoma of the skin;
* According to the investigators' evaluation, patients are unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the study protocol.
