Pan An-bang

Pan An-bang (Chinese: 潘安邦; pinyin: Pān Ānbāng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Phoaⁿ An-pang; 10 September 1954 – 3 February 2013), was a Taiwanese pop and folk singer, television presenter and actor.

After the successful nationwide television performance on CCTV New Year's Gala in 1989, he became well-known on both sides of the Strait.

"Father's Straw Sandal" (爸爸的草鞋), which was one track from the album "Errant Love", was banned by the government of Republic of China.

The song was also written by Ye and inspired by Pan's father's real life as a soldier from mainland China.

The song was more popular in Southeast Asia than in Taiwan and even spread to mainland China.

[8][9] Not long after the ban on family visits across the Strait was lifted in 1987, Pan was invited to perform on CCTV New Year's Gala in 1989.

He performed three songs, including "Follow Your Feeling" (跟著感覺走), "Grandma's Penghu Bay", and "Sun and Moon", on stage.

The song was written by Ye Jia-xiu and directly inspired by Pan's childhood life with his grandmother in Penghu, which is a group of islands in the Taiwan Strait.
