His proposal of helping defeat Japanese invaders damaged the interest of the chamber of commerce in Peiping a lot so the president of the chamber Zheng Yuanmu decided to make him a friend so the chamber could use Cheng's trade route to make more money. He invited Cheng to go to the opera with him and it was Shang who was the performer. Shang changed the libretto of the play while performing and that made the audience angry.
