Yu Menglong’s Friends at the Scene All Disappear after Building Fall, Li Tingzhe Demands 'Only the Truth,' Slams the Entertainment Industry as Disgusting

Chinese actor Yu Menglong died after falling from a building on September 11. In the days since, conspiracy theories have been swirling online. Although his family released a statement emphasizing that it was an "accidental fall after drinking," the conflicting accounts of the gathering that night have fueled ongoing rumors and speculation. Amidst the widespread silence in the entertainment circle, actor Li Tingzhe recently stepped forward, doing a livestream to call on the friends who were present that night to "come forward and restore the truth."

During his livestream, Li Tingzhe became emotionally charged and sighed that the entertainment circle is sometimes nauseating, angrily criticizing the friends who were present at Yu Menglong's death: "So disloyal, not daring to speak out!" He went on to say, "Look at what it’s come to: all sorts of stories, all sorts of speculation, sometimes it’s said to be a gathering of 6, sometimes 17 people. All of you, when you were drinking together at night, you called each other brothers, but now, when things have come to this, not a single person can come out and say a few words?" He lamented that when someone is popular, everyone wants a piece of the attention, but when something happens, everyone disappears. "Sometimes, if you’re upright, you don’t need to fear slander—what are you afraid of? This is so pointless!"

Li Tingzhe had previously worked with Yu Menglong, and besides speaking up during his livestream, also posted that "Everyone just wants the truth~ is that so difficult? What are we afraid of!!!" Comments from netizens included: "The people at the scene and in the neighborhood have all disappeared, it's too cold-hearted," "He said what we all wanted to say," "Standing up and speaking out at such a sensitive moment, respect to him for being a real man—having the courage to say this makes him a good guy," "Hope more people in the industry come out and say something, even if it’s just a plausible reason."
