The Wuhan Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau determined that Guo Degang altered the performance content without authorization and distorted anti-Japanese War songs; the organizer's illegal gains were confiscated and a fine of ten times the amount, totaling more than 480,000 yuan, was imposed, and Wuhan Zhongnan Theater and the related performances were penalized.
The Wuhan Culture and Tourism Bureau officially announced that it has opened an investigation into Guo Degang of Deyun Society, after he changed the lyrics of the song from "Railway Guerrillas" to "All is quiet in the Forbidden City" during a commercial performance in Wuhan on July 24.
When Guo Degang of Deyun Society performed a Peking opera in Wuhan with adapted lyrics from red songs, he was reported by netizens. The Wuhan Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau has formally opened an investigation in accordance with the law on the grounds that the performance content had not been filed in advance.
The Wuhan Culture and Tourism Bureau issued a response regarding the incident of Guo Degang's performance lyrics not being reported, avoiding the controversy over disrespect and adapted content, and initiating filing procedures on the grounds of failure to report as required.
During a performance of the Peking Opera 'Ji Gong Huo Fo' in Wuhan, Guo Degang improvised a line change from 'It's quiet on Weishan Lake' to 'It's quiet in the Forbidden City.' He was subsequently reported by name for performing without proper filing, and the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism has officially opened an investigation.
