Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whanau a Shang i te 18 o Poutu-te-rangi 1996. I tipu ake ia i roto i tētahi whānau tino rawakore, ā, i kore ia e kai i a ia e tamariki ana. Ko ngā mātua o Shang e rua he kaimahi hanga i Changsha. He tuakana tana, he matapo, a ko tana tumanako nui ko te whiwhi moni nui hei whakaora i te tirohanga a tona tuakana. I hokona e ia he whare mo tana tuakana i Changsha i muri i tana wikitoria i te 163,425 USD mai i te
2013 Ngā Taakaro ā-Motu o Haina. I kii tana tuakana, a Shang Lei, "I kii taku tuahine mo au ina marena ahau. I utua e ia te nuinga o te utu, a kei te mahi pakeke ahau. " I tana korero mo te wikitoria a tana tuahine, ka mea a Shang Lei, "Kaore he aha te nui o te moni utu, e hiahia ana ahau kia nui ake te ataata o taku tuahine".
