忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」
This "Nan" means calamity.
"Anything you can't say NO to is your MASTER, and you are its SLAVE."
"I disapprove of what I say, but I will defend to the death my right to say it."
I think nan4 would be better.
From what I know, there isn't really a set pronunciation for names. So, it would really depend on the intention of the author and the meaning of the word in that specific usage, which I suppose is what Candide has said. I could be wrong, of course.
Thanks.

I think it must be nan(4). At least the TV version used it lol.
As Candide stated, the nan here refers to calamity so it must be nan(4). At least that's how I interpret it.
