Pan devoted himself to calligraphy and poetry fully after retirement, continuously honing the craft that he has been practising since he was eight. His calligraphic works depict his observations of politics and society, ideologies, to those inspired by archaic Qin and Han manuscripts. Many of his works could be seen in Singapore, such as at the entrance of the Singapore Art Museum, the masthead of the Chinese newspaper, Lianhe Zaobao. Outside of the country, it can be found at the Confucius Temple in Qu Fu; in the Forest of Steles in Xi’an; on the honorific arch marking the beginning of the ancient Silk Road by the Sea in Quan Zhou; on Huang He Lou in Wuhan; and in the museum of the Great Wall of China.
