Chinese actor Yu Menglong rose to fame through dramas such as “Eternal Love” and “Go Princess Go,” but tragically fell to his death the day before yesterday (11th) at the age of 37. Although police investigations ruled out criminal suspicion, netizens claimed that unusual clues were left at the scene, casting doubt on the incident’s simplicity. The list of friends who were with Yu Menglong before the incident suddenly went viral online, and director Cheng Qingsong, who was named, quickly clarified and reported to the police.
According to sources, Yu Menglong had dinner at home with five friends the night before the incident. It was rumored that the five people were Yu Menglong’s manager, assistant, close friend Gao Taiyu, scriptwriter Ji Jiguang, and director Cheng Qingsong. However, Cheng Qingsong issued four consecutive posts distancing himself: “Yesterday afternoon I was at Beijing Exhibition Center watching fashion designer Ye Qian’s 26 Spring and Autumn Fashion Show,” “Yesterday I arranged to watch the show with Kan Xin and, after the show, had dinner with my old classmate Zhang Yuhong,” “I’ve had red hair for several years. I don’t know the person involved at all. Please don’t spread rumors,” “On the night of the 10th, I was having dinner with my friend Tian Hairong,” and also posted conversation screenshots to emphasize he had an alibi. At 4 AM yesterday, Cheng Qingsong posted again: “Even though it’s already late, I still chose to report to the police. Officers are on their way to my house.”
Likewise, Gao Taiyu, who was also named, posted conversation screenshots yesterday (12th) to clarify: “On the night of September 10th I was at Dongzhimen. No spreading rumors! No defamation! If necessary, I can provide surveillance footage.” He called on netizens not to commit the crime of spreading rumors and defamation.
