I remember to go to Brother Pang every day for lunch. Anyway, there are many good stories to listen to when sitting next to him."

In addition to spreading joy, Pang Xianglin's wisdom in dealing with the entertainment industry has been used by Weng Jiaming to this day. Weng Jiaming recalled that Pang Xianglin once taught him a set of "survival rules" with sincerity, reminding him that there are many disputes in the circle, "If you hear a group of people talking about romantic things, just come over and listen, just like me telling jokes, you can come over, no problem. But if you hear some people talking a lot, For more serious issues, right and wrong, don't lean into them, because it's none of your business. If you lean into them, those things will become your business." This life-saving motto to avoid right and wrong has been remembered by Weng Jiaming. It's no wonder that Pang Xianglin is very popular in the industry, and everyone can call him brother regardless of age.

Very few, and I can't even remember it!" He then explained with a smile that although he couldn't remember which drama he had collaborated with, Pang Xianglin was an actor in China Television back then. The boss of the labor union, and he also learned a lot of skills from Pang Xianglin when he was in the dubbing industry when he just graduated.
