Her grandma once fractured her hand bone for Pan after a month since her birth. In 1978, 24-year-old Pan married Mi Jiashan (米家山) who is seven years older(born in May 1947). Mi, at that time, was a common worker in Shanghai Filmmaking Factory. Mi's hometown is in Chengdu, Sichuan. After marriage, most of time Pan lived in Chengdu.
