Pan explains that she was personally able to accept the facts calmly largely because of her naturally optimistic personality and her Christian beliefs. It was also because she didn't lack for material things in life, including a large severance payment and her own endowment insurance, which had matured and could be cashed in. "I could finally take a good long rest."
潘秉新解釋，自己能夠立刻接受事實，跟基督教信仰及天性開朗有關，也因為生活上不虞匱乏（還算豐裕的資遣費加上已到期的儲蓄保險），「終於能夠好好休息。」
