A talented actress, Fan burst upon the scene with her role in the Chinese television show, My Fair Princess. She went on to portray several roles with finesse,some of which earned her prestigious awards in the Chinese film industry, such as the Hundred Flowers Award and Golden Rooster Awards (the Chinese equivalent of the Academy Awards).
