Biography[]

Fan Min was a relatively typical career bureaucrat in Han Dynasty China. He was born in 120 AD. He entered government services in his native Yi Province, where he was later nominated as Filial and Incorrupt. Subsequently, he gained a high-level government position in Yongchang commandery. He was later transferred to Ba commandery. Ultimately, he would quit his job at Ba and return home to care for his ailing mother.

Fan Min had planned to retire. He had received multiple offers for various positions from the Empire throughout the 180s, even prestigious ones that would have him serve directly in Luoyang. However, the already elderly Fan Min turned them all down, citing poor health as the reason, though this was probably just an excuse. When the ruthless Liu Yan became the Governor of Yi Province, Fan Min was convinced to become the administrator of Ba. Here, he was neutral in Liu Yan's various controversies, refusing to join Jia Long's rebellion against Yan, yet also refusing to join Liu Yan's attack against Li Jue and Guo Si.

After the death of Liu Yan, Fan Min continued his services under his son, Liu Zhang. However, poor health would catch up for real with Fan Min this time, and he ultimately died in 203 AD at the age of 83.
