"Eternal Love" actor Yu Menglong fell to his death on the 11th at the Sunshine Upper East Community in Beijing's Chaoyang District, at the age of 37. The police ruled out criminal suspicion within 24 hours, but suspicious points about the incident have been spreading wildly online. Finally, a celebrity has spoken out. On the night of the 13th, Daniel Chan (Chen Xiaodong) posted on Xiaohongshu: "Why has no one on the scene shown genuine emotion so far? Not a single pair of eyes, not a single surveillance camera?" He criticized those present for remaining silent and questioned the absence of surveillance footage at the scene. He also called for a fair investigation, saying, "I hope for justice... The world needs a bit more light."
Yu Menglong fell to his death in the early morning of the 11th. Since the police closed the case within 12 hours, netizens have compiled six suspicious points regarding the entire incident. Chinese writer Luban posted as well, asking 14 questions. He wrote: "All signs point to the strong possibility that this was homicide." He even boldly suggested that the perpetrator might have a powerful background, which could be why the case was suppressed.
In response to the cause of Yu Menglong's death being quickly covered up, Luban raised 14 doubts in a post as follows:
1. How could a young, handsome, and promising person suddenly jump to their death without any warning?
2. Why did he jump from a friend's home?
3. Why choose the 5th floor, which might not be fatal, as the place to jump from?
4. It's reportedly head-first, clearly as if he was thrown out, not jumped?
5. Why was the surveillance conveniently out of power that day?
6. Why was there still a commercial performance scheduled the day after he "jumped"?
7. Why had he previously shown no signs or talked of suicidal thoughts?
8. Why are there obvious scratch marks on the window? Why was the wire mesh cut?
9. If he wanted to end his life, why did he not leave a message for his single mother?
10. Why were there two of his friend's Rolex watches in his pocket?
11. Why wasn't his phone checked?
12. Why weren't the friends who drank with him before the fall investigated?
13. Why was the conclusion that he jumped to his death reached so quickly?
14. Why did the trending topic disappear so quickly?
Luban admitted that everyone fears death; he was merely making a cautious statement: "If I encounter any danger or warning, I will not hesitate to delete this Weibo post or even cancel my account." To this day, the true cause of Yu Menglong's death remains unrevealed.
Yu Menglong fell on the 11th. Although the police have ruled out criminal suspicion, there are many doubts at the scene, such as multiple scratch marks by the window, a metal mesh that is hard to damage by hand, and Yu Menglong's own fear of heights. Moreover, his career was thriving, making it hard for people to believe he would choose this time to leave the world.
Many celebrities who had worked with Yu Menglong, such as Yang Mi and Dilraba Dilmurat, posted condolences but did not mention the suspicious points of the incident. Only Sun Derong, a well-known Taiwanese agent who once coached Yu Menglong in China (as his "enlightenment teacher"), urged fans to unite in pursuit of the truth. Meanwhile, Daniel Chan, who participated with Yu Menglong in the 2020 first season of "Shine! Super Brothers," posted on Xiaohongshu on the night of the 13th using the title "Is It Really So Hard to Be Above Board?": "Why is there no genuine emotion from anyone on the scene, even if it could serve as evidence in court? Why is everything being deleted? So sad. Not a single pair of eyes, not a single surveillance camera? Why so cold. I hope for justice... The world needs a bit more light. It's raining outside, everything is blurry." A netizen asked if he was referring to Yu Menglong, and he liked the comment as confirmation. One netizen moved said: "Brother Xiaodong, I wasn't your fan before, but from now on I'm your diehard fan!" Hoping that Yu Menglong's death will attract more public attention.
