But in 1995, his business crashed and he was forced into bankrupcy. Ye stepped in to loan him money to tide over the crisis.
Ye emptied her life-savings and sold all her valuables and lent Pan up to a sum of approximately $16,600. This sum was used not only used to salvage his business, but to repay his debts. After which, she became penniless and broke. Their sons were forced to quit school as school fees became a financial burden.
