Chinese actor murdered sparks nationwide online outrage - CCP goes full censorship

[meadow_wind]

I heard something about the passing of a B-list actor a couple of weeks ago, but things weren't clear. Tonight, I stumbled on this video where the guy explains in detail what might have happened, and it's bad... This video was published 4 days ago.

Yu Menglong 于朦胧, 37 years old, died 11 Sept 2025.

Official narrative: accidental fall from a building after drinking. Body found at 6am on the ground by a lady walking her dog.
Following the police investigation, criminal suspicion has been ruled out. Case officially closed within 12h...

Speculations: Murder cover-up. Stems from many irregularities and clues discovered, being shared online, which ensued a desperate censorship effort from all official platforms that then scrubbed everything clean from the internet, banning accounts, etc.
Others speculate about "dark" practices or human sacrifice, which is totally plausible, knowing what we know about Hollywood, because people realized there are 8 or 9 other actors from that same agency who died in similar conditions in the past 10 years.

Sources: Security camera footage + people's cell phone footage released.
An anonymous Weibo account released a death statement 7h prior to the official announcement, which usually never happens.
Yu's final live stream: him doing the internationally recognized "540" hand gesture (a distress signal) + making a statement suggesting that if something happened to him, not to believe it was an accident, then the stream cut off abruptly... And later, the video was removed from all platforms.

Motive: to prevent him from exposing a money laundering scheme implicating people from a certain circle of the entertainment industry linked to the state-owned talent agency Tianyu Media that managed his career since 2013, which in turn also implicates some high-end CCP officials or other powerful people.

Who is implicated: A list of 16 people allegedly present at the party that night was released. Briefly covered in the 1st video. The complete list and compelling details are in the 2nd video, starting at 13min.
Long story short, 2 names kept coming up in discussions before being scrubbed from platforms almost immediately. Both are suspected of being the illegitimate sons of Cai Qi, one of China's 7 most powerful officials (the guy is in charge of ideology, propaganda, and censorship for the entire country). One of them managed (controlled) Yu's career, trapped him under restrictive contracts, and much worse...

Claims that spread online: hospital staff allegedly leaked surveillance footage from the emergency room, suggesting Yu was brought to the hospital at 2:58am. By 3:12 am, resuscitation efforts had failed: he was already deceased on arrival.

It seems he has been tortured and raped. They killed his 2 dogs in front of him (we can hear him cry and scream his dogs' names in one of the secret footage, "So much blood! It hurts so much. Boon! Ham! We won't be together anymore..."

A Taiwanese lawyer who analyzed the case publicly said it's impossible to properly close an investigation like this in just 12h. The speed alone raised immediate red flags. What wasn't included in that investigation: CCTV footage from the building (unavailable or erased), autopsy results & witness statements never released to the public.

A whistle Blower, resident of the Sunshine Upper East complex, said dozens of households received bribe money twice to silence them, or received threats.
After Yu's death, more than 100 household in the complex suddenly listed their apartments for sale.
2 people related to Yu who publicly demanded justice received death threats.

One comment says:
"Total 9 actors and actress including Yu Menglong worked for this same film company (EE MEDIA) were murdered . Most of them died either ACCIDENT fall or SUICIDE. Same pattern. BOYCOTT !!!! TIENYU (EE MEDIA) and MANGO they are partners."

Another comment:
"What actually happened to Yu Menglong?
What actually happened to the bullies at Jiangyou school?
What actually happened to Yang Lanlan?
What actually happened to Dr. Luo Shuaiyu?
What actually happened to Premier Li Keqiang?
What actually happened to Dr. Li Wenliang?
What actually happened to chained lady?
Where is justice in China?

Another comment from another video says:
"10 young people have died in that agency! 10 over 10 years!"

Here's the 2nd video, investigating the murder in chronological order

We may never know the full truth, but we can't stop asking questions, because accepting silence means accepting that some lives are worth less than others, that power can operate without accountability.

It took me 4h to gather all this information last night, and I couldn't finish because it was too late. Here's the follow-up.


List of the 8 artists from that talent agency who died under suspicious circumstances
Before Yu's demise, eight other young artists died under similar circumstances over the past two decades, according to online platform Koreaboo.

• 2006: singer Tan Beixi died in a so-called "unusual car accident"
• 2011: actor Shang Yubo reportedly jumped to his death after wandering the rooftop of a high-rise for three hours.
• 2015: Bian Ce, considered a rising star at that time, died after falling from a building in Tianjin, China.
• 2016: singer Ben Xi reportedly died after jumping from her residence on Christmas Eve, just days after promoting her new music during a live broadcast. Her death was ruled a suicide.
• That same year, singer-actor Qiao Renliang was found dead in his Shanghai home. Police confirmed that Qiao had died by suicide.
• 2017: actress Jiao Ren fell from a hotel in Suzhou, China. After a 2-month-long investigation, police determined that Jiao had accidentally fallen to her death while intoxicated.

Last one! This should encompass all the information that seems legitimate about this case at the moment.

According to a Twitter user named "X" (Xinwen Investigation), a netizen living near Yu Menglong's home said that before Yu Menglong fell, a local housekeeper saw the man in a black suit repeatedly pulling on Yu Menglong's arm. The housekeeper's phone was then formatted by the authorities, and all the videos and photos she had taken were deleted.

Leaked Dark Web Video Allegedly Shows Yu Menglong’s Torture and Death — Insider Claims Justice Is Coming
Published: October 11, 2025

A disturbing video allegedly depicting the torture and death of Chinese actor Yu Menglong has reportedly surfaced on the dark web, adding new weight to growing public suspicions surrounding his death. Hackers are said to have obtained the footage by breaching the phone of actress Song Yiren—one of the suspects—and leaking the recording online. Meanwhile, an investor in China has claimed that mounting public outcry is proving effective and shared strategies to pressure those behind the crime.

Dark Web leak and hacking claims
On Oct. 8, Malaysian netizen Carol shared on social media that her American friend had paid to access the video on the dark web. According to her, the entire incident had been recorded by Song Yiren herself. Hackers allegedly extracted the video from her phone and uploaded it online. Several Taiwanese media outlets have also reported that U.S. netizens viewed the footage, and some users say it has been reported to the FBI.

The content described by Carol aligns closely with previously circulating rumors. She claims Yu attended a private party with his dog, “Fuli.” At the gathering, he was pressured to hand over a USB drive. When he refused, the perpetrators allegedly began pulling out his fingernails. Fuli, attempting to protect his owner, was reportedly killed by suspects Fan Shiqi and Cheng Qingsong. Yu’s other dog, “Ham,” remained at home and is believed to have survived.

Carol herself refused to watch the leaked footage, saying her friend described it as “unbearably cruel.” According to secondhand accounts, Yu was gang-raped, tortured, and eventually thrown from a building. His body reportedly showed multiple fractures and an open abdominal wound.

Leaked Posts and Audio Evidence
In a viral post by user @jessica03919, a chilling message was shared: “A hacker broke into Song Yiren’s phone and recovered the footage showing the brutal torture and killing of Yu Menglong. It was horrifying—truly the work of demons in human form.”

A day earlier, on Oct. 7, the X account “News Investigation” published footage allegedly showing Yu after surgery had been performed on his abdomen. The clip names Fan Shiqi as the individual who cut him open to extract the USB drive.

On Oct. 8, Fan briefly posted—and then quickly deleted—a message on his social media account admitting responsibility for Yu’s death. Netizens managed to capture screenshots before the deletion. An earlier post by Fan added to suspicions: beneath one of his photos, he had written, “Since childhood, I vowed to eliminate those more handsome than me. My sword has yet to be drawn.” The statement has since been widely interpreted as a glimpse into his violent and jealous mindset.

Further adding to the case, a widely circulated audio clip features someone shouting, “Spit it out! Hurry!” and “Knock him out!”—phrases believed to be shouted during the alleged torture. The voice is suspected to be Fan’s, prompting netizens to grimly nickname him “the surgeon of slit stomachs.”

Audio forensics and last words
Other online clips reportedly show Yu screaming “Fan Xiaohua, save me!” just before falling from the building. A separate audio file features a man hurling vulgar abuse while allegedly torturing Yu. Forensic analysis of the voice reportedly yielded a 99.57 percent match with Fan Shiqi.

On Oct. 8, a prominent investor in the Chinese film industry claimed via an X (formerly Twitter) post that public voices supporting Yu Menglong have been highly effective—and that authorities have begun to notice, though the subject remains sensitive. He suggested that the official investigation notices around Yu’s death were softened or delayed, perhaps to stabilize or conceal information about “that person” (possibly referring to the murderer or a political figure), so as not to alert them.

The insider urged netizens to keep speaking out, asserting that those behind the crime fear public opinion more than anything. He said he recently visited a spiritual advisor connected to the entertainment world, who told him that higher‑dimensional forces are aiding Yu’s cause—though they cannot intervene directly.

He predicted that changes would begin next month: those who participated in Yu’s demise will see their fortunes crumble, and the key orchestrator will come under scrutiny—but not via the Yu case itself. He warned that the perpetrators will not be exposed under the banner of Yu’s case, to avoid drawing attention to deeper connections.

The investor also offered practical advice: Yu’s former studio registered multiple companies, so reporting those entities may draw official attention. He recommended persistently sending complaints to drain the suspects’ financial resources, reasoning that controlling public sentiment is costly—he estimated it could cost at least 100 million yuan every ten days. He encouraged netizens to sustain pressure for one to two months so that those responsible are forced to dig into their reserves, ultimately fomenting internal strife.

He added that he strongly believes an upcoming drama will face widespread boycott — not because of weak acting or directing, but because its screenwriter, Fang Li, is allegedly among the suspects involved in Yu Menglong’s case.
