According to Chang Jinzhong, Chang Shihong went drinking with a few fair-weather friends after work one day, and by the time he was stuffed and satisfied, it was already past nine o'clock when he headed home. Riding his bicycle, he happened to pass through an alley he wouldn't normally take and stumbled upon some kids stealing someone's dog with the intent to slaughter it for meat to satisfy their cravings.
Maybe because the dog was making too much noise, those people wanted to kill it first.
Before their knife could touch the dog, Chang Shihong swung an iron shovel, which he scrounged from someone's doorstep, leading the attack.
Sure, Chang Shihong took a beating since he was outnumbered, but he's a stubborn one, focusing only on clobbering the ringleader.
The result was the dog running back home, alarming the neighbors, who scrambled to separate them and then sent them to the hospital to resolve the matter.
