[2] He was the chairman of Chi Mei until his resignation in 2004, although he still held significant stakes in the company and sat on its board.
Shi was a senior advisor to Chen Shui-bian during his presidency and was known to support pro-Taiwan independence causes, a stance which made him unpopular with mainland China.

[5] In 1992, Shi founded the Chimei Museum, which collects valuable string instruments made by Antonio Stradivari, Guarneri del Gesù, and other famous artisans.
