Fan had congenital cataract. She began playing goalball when she was 10 years old; just a year later she helped her province Shandong win a bronze medal at the National Para Games, at the age of 11. Donations poured in after her story was publicized, and she has since gained 20/200 vision through a cataract surgery in Shanghai.[1]
Like her national teammates Lin Shan, Wang Ruixue, and Ju Zhen, Fan started playing the sport under coach Wang Jinqin at the Weifang School of the Blind in Weifang, Shandong.[4]
