He later wrote his first novel, and served as a columnist for various newspapers and magazines. In 1997, at the age of 24, Pang began 18 months of research for his first novel, “Fulltime Killer”. The novel went on to become extremely popular, selling more than 100,000 copies in Hong Kong. It was then reworked as a radio program and later adapted into a feature film in 2001.
