[1][2][3] Pan started her career in Hong Kong in films and stage shows.
The Taiwan Television Circle described Pan and her costar Meng Fei (孟飛) as the "perfect couple on the screen."
Pan concluded her work with the Southern Experimental Theater Troupe and began working as an actress in shows through Taiwan's well-known television network China Television Company, Ltd., also known as CTV (中國電視公司).
Her ability to portray characters from childhood to old age in critically acclaimed series such as "The Empress of the Dynasty" and "Empress Da Yu Er" (一代皇后大玉兒) has made it difficult for the public to determine her age.
She is also notable for being the first actress in the Chinese entertainment industry rumored to have undergone cosmetic surgery, and her seemingly ageless appearance has drawn comparisons to American actress Goldie Hawn.
