Pang Wanchun - Other Appearances

Other Appearances

In The Water Margin, a 1998 CCTV television series based on the novel, Pang Wanchun makes his first appearance during Yan Qing's leitai match in Tai'anzhou. Pang Wanchun and his younger sister, Pang Qiuju, participate in the match, but are both defeated by the burly Ren Yuan, who cheats during the fight by using a sash with hidden blades. Yan Qing easily defeats Ren Yuan later, but their identities as outlaws are exposed after Li Kui loses his temper and starts shouting and stomping on Ren Yuan's body, and soldiers come after them. The Pang siblings, Yan Qing and Li Kui manage to fight their way out and escape.

In a later episode, Yan Qing and Li Kui are sent as envoys to meet Pang Wanchun as Liangshan forces prepare to attack Fang La's city, which is defended by Pang. In the ensuing battle, Pang Wanchun lures Liangshan troops into a trap, where they suffer heavy casualties. He is wounded by an arrow fired by Hua Rong and the Liangshan forces seize the opportunity to break into the city. Pang Wanchun is later killed in action by the Ruan brothers along with his sister.
