Source-derived summary

Wan Guopeng (Chinese: 万国鹏; pinyin: wàn guó péng, born on 12 September 1994), is a Chinese actor.

Early experiences

Wan Guopeng's family was considered well-off in the local area. His father was a factory accountant and his mother was an obstetrician and gynecologist.[1] When Wan Guopeng was in high school, he became interested in the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine, so he came to Harbin alone and spent three years studying acupuncture at Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. But when he graduated, he realized that he could not bear the life, aging, illness, and death that doctors often face. At that time, Wan Guopeng was interning in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Every day he was responsible for measuring the blood pressure and electrocardiogram of an old man with lung cancer. However, a week later, the old man still died of advanced cancer. Wan Guopeng said, "Even very famous doctors couldn't help." This was the first patient Wan Guopeng came into contact with. He found it difficult to accept the sudden loss of life and felt helpless at work.

Wan Guopeng gave up his career as a doctor and began to look for a new direction in life.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Wan Guopeng”, the useful work is to connect “actor” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q98764030. VIAF identifies the subject as 15154620875644592366. The Library of Congress control number is no2018174118. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
