Yu Menglong Continues Donating After Death: Wears Inexpensive Clothes, Donates 300,000 for Disaster Relief

Chinese actor Yu Menglong passed away after falling from a building on September 11. Although Beijing police quickly closed the case as “falling due to excessive drinking”, the public remains full of questions about the cause of his death. What is surprising and moving is that, more than three weeks after his passing, his charity account is still making automatic donations. This kindness has not ceased with the end of his life. After the news came to light, many netizens were touched and commented, “This is truly an angel whose love remains in the world.”

Recently, a netizen posted a charity donation certificate dated September 20, with “Yu Menglong” clearly signed as the donor—nine days after his passing. It is reported that this donation came from a regularly scheduled charity account which he set up in his lifetime, as part of the public welfare group led by Han Hong. Because the account makes automatic deductions each month, donations continue contributing love to underprivileged groups even after his death. In his lifetime, Yu Menglong was passionate about charity: in 2021 during the Henan floods, he generously donated 500,000 yuan (about RM295,000) for disaster relief, and he also raised 100,000 yuan (about RM59,000) for leukemia patients’ medical bills, performing good deeds quietly and modestly for years.
Aside from his commitment to charity, fans have also uncovered Yu Menglong’s frugal lifestyle. Some noticed that he once wore a down jacket costing only 200 yuan (about RM118), and that he posted a positive review on an online shopping platform just to earn cash back. His home was simple, his lifestyle restrained, almost austere toward himself, but he was generous toward others.
