Peng Lihu
彭立虎, Peng Lihu, PLH, Tony. One of the producers of Roving Inspection Team and a shareholder in Qingtao Golden Shield.
Activities Timeline
Peng Lihu first appeared in the fandom on January 13, 2022, three days after Li Xuezheng was muted and the same day that Zhang Zhehan's previous Instagram account was reactivated. He called Li Xuezheng an "ex-coworker" and quickly gained a large following because fans believed that he was in direct contact with Li. Peng supported this belief by talking about conversations he had with Li and posting a chatlog screenshot apparently with Li, though he later deleted this post.
The same day, Peng introduced his assistant, a young woman named Xiao Lin. The two apparently took turns fighting publicly with antis, one of which is a man named 棠小牙 who was relatively unknown during Li Xuezheng's time on Weibo.
After the appearance of Zhang Sanjian and EHzZ, Peng became actively involved in supporting the brand, attacking Gong Jun, and generally embroiling himself in the fandom. He became known for making vague statements about government changes and hinting at knowledge of Zhang Zhehan's case, none of which came true.
In June 2022, during one of his attacks on the CP fandom, Peng openly associated male homosexuality with AIDS. When criticized for his discriminatory statements, Peng doubled down on the homophobia and went on to attack the WHO.
During the Jackson Yee scandal in July 2022, Peng made a post in support of Jackson claiming that he intends to collaborate with him in the future.
In October 2022, Peng claimed that he now had an official position at Golden Shield Productions Center. However, inquiry with the Center yielded no confirmation of this.
