Pan Jie is a senior actor in the local entertainment industry in Guangdong, and many Cantonese people may not have an impression of her name, but she has two well-known identities, one is the role of Aunt Lan in the classic longevity drama "Seventy-two Tenants", and the other is the wife of Guo Chang, the "master of Guangdong comedy".
From 2008 to 2024, after 16 years of unremitting filming, "Seventy-Two Tenants" has now completed the production of 19 seasons, with a total of more than 2,000 episodes. It is worth mentioning that the starring lineup in the play is much more stable than that of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", but unfortunately, "Han Shima" Dong Tong, "Liu Dingjian" Liu Khan, "Pearl Girl" Zheng Zhuling and others have withdrawn from the crew, and Pan Jie has also become a cameo.
In the play, Aunt Lan's original name was Mo Ailan, a woman from the Tan family, and later married Liang Jiarui, and the couple rented the "seventy-two family compounds" of the eighth aunt, and worked as a trader for ironing clothes and tailoring. Aunt Lan is a straightforward person with a sense of justice, but also has the selfishness of traditional rural women, so there are many viewers who like her and hate her.
In reality, Pan Jie is a gentle-tempered, amiable, and single-minded woman, she is a native of Foshan, born in 1957, and lives near the "Wanhua Lane" that is familiar to old audiences in Guangdong. In the mid-to-late 80s of the last century, Guangdong TV and Foshan Repertory Theatre filmed the first domestic unit drama "Kaleidoscope", Guo Chang played the role of Nobita in the play, during which he became acquainted with Pan, and the two got married in just a few months.
Pan Jie was an angel in white when she was young, and in the early 90s, she gave up her job as a nurse, and then applied for the third actor training class of Zhujiang Channel, and since then she has followed her husband's footsteps and embarked on the road of an actor. Because she officially debuted in her thirties, she has always been able to play some green roles, and Guo Chang's acting in the 90s was not very outstanding.
By the end of the 90s, the entire Guangdong entertainment industry had a rapid collapse, and Pan Jie and her husband were facing unemployment, so they didn't do anything and chose to change careers directly. They invested tens of thousands of yuan to open a restaurant in Guangzhou, and the business was only average, and the worst day even had a turnover of only a few dozen yuan.
With the advent of the new century, Guo Chang's acting career soared with the role of Kang Qizong in "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", and became the hottest actor in Guangdong. At the same time, Pan Jie also became a "Tsing Yi" who successfully broke out of the Guangdong film and television industry, when she played the mother of many Hong Kong stars in one go, but the good fortune of the couple was only three years.
In 2003, at this time, the ratings of "Foreign Drama" were still high, and Guo Chang's popularity in Guangdong reached its peak, but at this time, it encountered a thunderbolt. One day, Guo Chang went to the hospital for an examination because he was unwell, and only after checking did he learn that he had suffered from stage 3 stomach cancer, so Pan Jie hurriedly flew back to Guangdong from Yunnan to accompany her husband.
Although he has undergone many chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments, Guo Chang's illness has not been cured, but he still insists on filming with illness, and finally he left this world with regret in 2006. Guo Chang said in an interview before his death that on the one hand, he was reluctant to work with the Kang family, and on the other hand, he hoped to earn more money for his family in his lifetime, so he didn't want to rest too much.
Regarding Guo Chang's death, whether it is a member of the Kang family or tens of millions of Guangdong audiences, everyone is deeply shocked, it is a pity that such an excellent actor left before the age of 50. However, the most painful person is Pan Jie and her daughter Guo Xun, in the days to come, the mother and daughter can only rely on each other.
Unconsciously, Pan Jie and her husband Guo Chang have been separated for 18 years, thinking that at the beginning, Guo Xun was just a girl in her early tens, and now she has become a wife. In May 2022, Guo Xun has been married in a low-key manner, and she has always been very filial to her mother, even when she went to Qingdao for her honeymoon, she did not forget to bring her mother. It is said that she now has a son, and Pan Jie has finally hugged her grandson.
Over the years, Pan Jie has never had the idea of remarrying, and soon after her husband left, she has publicly stated that she has no regrets about the love in her life, because she is satisfied with Guo Chang's love. Today's Pan Jie has also become a 67-year-old man, and Guo Xun is also 29 years old.
