essential information

Personal experience

Since she settled in Hong Kong in 1949, she started in nightclubs. She is the first singer in Hong Kong to sign a contract with British EMI. In addition, she is also the first singer in Hong Kong to have a singing club. Pan Dihua is the first singer to use Chinese and Western songs. His first famous songs include "love you become harm you", Ding Dong song (second spring), Rose Rose iloveyou (Rose I love you), Bengawan Solo (Thoreau River) and "lover's bridge". Since the 1970s, pandewa has set up its own music company, and many of its songs have aroused enthusiastic repercussions. In 1975, after pandewa published the Christmas album "achistmas Carol", it gradually faded out of the entertainment industry.

Pandiva began to make films in 1953, and the stage name was also put into use at that time. Although pan Dihua doesn't make many films, his success lies in his heavy weight and superb acting skills, which are enough to impress the audience. She works with Wong Kar Wai a lot and often plays shrewd Shanghai women.

In July 2017, 86 year old pan Dihua launched her prose memoir dream · road · pan Dihua.

Readers can taste her rich acting life from her words.

Character evaluation

Pan Dihua is an artist with the charm of old Shanghai in his heart. She is not a big name. In the few films she plays, she raises her hand and makes a detour to make the old Shanghai tactful. Pan Dihua likes to chat with young people and prefers to be called "sister pan". You will be surprised at her memory and expressiveness. Sometimes she is stubborn as a child, and sometimes she is considerate as a neighbor's mother. (sohu.com, comprehensive review of Bund pictorial)

With its elegant, fashionable and noble appearance, and charming voice, pandiva is really a singer who never forgets. Youth is the idol of all people, while old age is the symbol of ladies. Pan Dihua is also the most perfect image of Shanghai lady in the eyes of many directors. He is noble and impressive. She speaks a beautiful soft language of Wu Nong, elegant temperament, no affectation, a smile and a frown between the road to do the flow of old Shanghai. (Tencent online review)
