Feng-Pan Yao was born August 1932 in Anhui Province. Early employment consisted of reporting, editing and head writing duties in Taipei news publications. In 1956, he won an award for investigative journalism. In 1960, he began screenwriting. In 1968, he won a prize for his movie criticism. After that, he received commendation for being an up-and-coming writer in the younger generation and, in 1969, graduated to directing.
