At the time he first became involved in the ZZH controversy, he led Golden Shield Film and Television, not to be confused with Golden Shield Publishing House or Qingtao Golden Shield, companies related to [[Peng Lihu]] (also known as "Tony") that implied they were affiliated with GSFT and LXZ in order to spread false information.

He shared a public notice from the [[NRTA]] that stated there is no information designating Zhang Zhehan as an immoral or unethical entertainer. He raised the question of whether the non-governmental CAPA should be permitted to designate an artist as immoral if that directly contradicted a governmental agency. | ||
Initially, attempts were made to silence LXZ. Weibo pulled down his posts and videos and prevented hashtags raising awareness of the issue (such as #Justice for the People#) from appearing on Weibo's Hot Search despite what ultimately became billions of views. He was also approached in person, but was undeterred:<blockquote>My superior contacted me with request from some department leader to delete my posts questioning CAPA. I replied if this is an order from the party I will delete immediately. There was no follow-up. - November 25, 2021 Weibo post</blockquote>He also called into question the rules themselves, informing netizens through his posts that a member of CAPA provided him with documentation showing the rules under which CAPA blacklisted ZZH for his 2018 photos came into effect on March 1st, 2021, and were not retroactive. He also mocked their appeal process:<blockquote>As required by CAPA's notice, an entertainer on the list went to their secretariat to appeal this afternoon. After much ado, CAPA accepted the appeal, but did not provide any receipt and only gave a landline and the name "Mr. Liu". How can such an informal appeals process ensure fairness and justice? - November 30, 2021 Weibo post</blockquote> | Initially, attempts were made to silence LXZ.

On December 24, 2021, LXZ posted a photo of the Beijing Police Department's acceptance of ZZH's case, adding:<blockquote>ZZH previously tried to file case at other police departments, but his case was not accepted because of the extreme environment of cyber violence and public opinion. He had lost all legal rights of a normal citizen. Recently, after analysis by legal experts, encouragement by experts in the political and legal system, and rational public discussion, we know that this type of malicious slander has caused serious personal injury to individual citizens and constitutes the basis of a criminal case. State forces should and have intervened and he was encouraged to report to the Beijing police. This afternoon, the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Police finally officially accepted ZZH's report, the Beijing police should be commended! ! ! ! We expect this to be the beginning of criminal investigations, and civil litigation will also begin. - December 24, 2021 Weibo post</blockquote> | On December 24, 2021, LXZ posted a photo of the Beijing Police Department's acceptance of ZZH's case, adding:<blockquote>ZZH previously tried to file case at other police departments, but his case was not accepted because of the extreme environment of cyber violence and public opinion.
