Eighteen years ago, Fan was injured in a traffic accident and the trauma led him to suffer from depression. In 2016, he decided to cope with depression by learning to dance with Peng.
The couple now runs an evening livestream channel on video sharing platform Tik Tok, showing their new dances to over 1.4 million followers.
