On Yu Menglong's Death — High-ranking CCP Officials Indiscriminately Kill Innocents, Treat Human Life with Contempt

In the early morning of September 11, 2025, Yu Menglong fell to his death from a residential building in Yangguang Shangdong Community, Chaoyang District, Beijing. The official report from the Chinese Communist Party states that, according to the standards of capitalist society, Yu Menglong, although not a very popular celebrity, is still considered a public figure. However, even such individuals can die inexplicably in China. Yu Menglong’s family and the Beijing police announced on September 16 and 21 respectively that Yu Menglong died from an “accidental fall after drinking alcohol,” but his family has never appeared publicly and only issued a statement through Yu Menglong’s studio’s Weibo account. A large number of videos from the day of Yu Menglong’s death circulated online. The videos show Yu Menglong being hanged outside a window and screaming for help on the day he died. The incident immediately ignited the anger of the Chinese people towards the bureaucrats of the Chinese Communist Party, with many questioning the truth of the case online. To suppress public opinion, the authorities restricted related discussions on multiple social media platforms and announced investigations into several rumor-mongers. On September 23, Weibo’s official statement said, “Over 100,000 violations such as maliciously inciting negative emotions have been cleaned up, more than 1,000 accounts have been temporarily silenced or closed, and over 15,000 accounts repeatedly engaging in malicious hype in comments have had their commenting functions suspended.”

In capitalist society, women are excluded from social production, losing their economic independence and living in small, isolated families. Under these circumstances, women have to entrust their future and happiness to love, fantasizing that a “good man” can bring them happiness. Under the reactionary propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party, Chinese women have placed this hope in some “excellent” male celebrities. Economics is the foundation of politics, and politics is the concentrated expression of economics. Because women are marginalized in capitalist production, they have to place their personal happiness in love, which narrows their horizons significantly. However, the case of Yu Menglong’s fall from the building has made many women who are uninterested in politics directly feel the brutality of the Chinese Communist Party and express strong dissatisfaction with its rule.

The bureaucrats of the Chinese Communist Party monopolize the ruling bourgeoisie, provoking increasing dissatisfaction and hatred among the people towards their rule. The censorship of related news by the authorities does not indicate their strength but rather exposes their weakness. They are afraid of the awakening of the people, so they try every means to suppress public opinion. However, the anger of the masses cannot be suppressed. Even now, the broad masses are still closely following this incident, trying to seek justice for Yu Menglong. In the comment section of a promotional video about Beijing tourism posted by Beijing Chaoyang Cultural Tourism on Douyin, all comments are from the people standing up for justice for Yu Menglong. They sarcastically comment, “Will I get a free stay if I go?”, “I’m afraid of heights, I dare not go,” “I’m afraid of falling if I go,”…

Speaking of which, I still don’t know the full picture of this matter. In fact, some views from petty-bourgeois female fans are quite misleading. Yu Menglong himself should belong to the category of bourgeois artists, and it is said that his influence is actually not at the grassroots level.

Most of the liberal materials are just hearsay and not really credible. Some of the somewhat reliable information I have learned is that a portion of bourgeois celebrities exchange their bodies to be exploited by high-ranking officials in order to gain qualifications to appear in movies and TV shows. The probable cause of Yu Menglong’s fall from a building was that he was abused to death during this process. Some materials directly point to a director named Cheng Qingsong and another female celebrity named Song Yiren (previously, in a live photo from a dinner on August 10, there is a live image where you can hear a voice in the background saying “He is resisting”; later, due to public pressure, she was taken away for investigation by the Chinese Communist Party under the pretext of “investigation” for a period of time). The incident occurred in the Sunshine Shangdong Community, a residential area in Beijing where many bureaucratic bourgeois and bourgeois celebrities live. Logically, there should be many surveillance cameras, but so far, no surveillance footage has been released.

At the beginning of the incident, the Chinese Communist Party announced his fall and issued a vague investigation report full of loopholes. Although public opinion raised some doubts, there was no substantial evidence, only a summary of suspicious points. Afterwards, the Chinese Communist Party severely cracked down on accounts on Xiaohongshu and banned many topics discussing this matter, which further proved that there was something fishy about the case. Many materials and speculations spread more widely. Yu Menglong’s case was just a fuse. The more the Chinese Communist Party tried to block speech and silence the public, the more it aroused the people’s dissatisfaction with its dark rule. Many people who spoke out during this process were not fans of Yu Menglong; they just used the attention that this bourgeois celebrity already had to express their dissatisfaction with the Chinese Communist Party’s suppression of the people’s resistance and prohibition of exposing social oppression.

This data is also too crazy, and it actually reflects the widespread dissatisfaction among the masses and the weakness of the Zhongxiu (Central Revision) regime, which can only rely on crazy comment deletions and account bans to cover up the superficial peace.

Recently, I have often seen netizens relay and repost related videos online, and many people are posting various materials in the comment sections. From a rough look, the materials seem very complicated and tangled. I don’t understand why such phenomena occur in the Chinese entertainment industry. Some online exposés feel truly terrifying; many celebrities are suspected to have been killed and then disappeared without a trace, leading to many entertainment fans commenting to warn celebrities to stay safe. This may also be related to the fascist nature of the Chinese state. Previously, I saw someone say that Yu Menglong was tortured by being hung upside down and then killed. Some people posted materials to debunk this rumor, saying the videos and pictures circulating online were photoshopped (they did provide some evidence, and it seems there might be Chinese internet trolls deliberately posting fake materials to muddy the waters); however, no one has debunked the more conclusive evidence and suspicious points, nor could they “debunk” them. Someone online shared a letter of appeal from Yu Menglong’s mother, but its authenticity is uncertain.

Ultimately, I feel these materials are secondary. Empiricist debunking cannot cover up the darkness and terror in today’s Chinese society; if one only focuses on the materials, it’s easy to fall into the trap of empiricist evidence and limit the perspective to a certain celebrity or just the entertainment industry. I think the most important thing is the political significance of this matter, and when reading the news, it’s crucial to understand the public’s attitude. It feels like the anger the masses have erupted with this time is greater than ever before, and there is a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. Past incidents like the rat-head duck-neck scandal mainly involved food safety on campuses, the Tianshui kindergarten incident was at a higher level, and then there was the Guizhou fire hydrant incident—all directly affecting the normal life safety of the people. The Huangyang earring incident touched on corruption and wealth inequality in Chinese society. But this time, the Yu Menglong incident directly concerns life safety. Many netizens’ comments focus on the point that if this matter is not clarified, it means the life safety of all Chinese people is not guaranteed; one might disappear without a trace while walking on the street someday. If even celebrities can vanish without a trace, ordinary citizens are even more at risk. This has caused a great deal of panic, striking directly at the bureaucratic organs of China, because it is obvious that the bourgeoisie has backers causing trouble behind the scenes, and the government helps cover up the news, making people feel there is a huge conspiracy behind the state. Therefore, many people online say they increasingly distrust society or feel disappointed in the country. Some say they can’t sleep because they don’t see the issue being resolved and have become depressed over it. Others say that after this matter ends, they will never watch Bilibili again or follow the entertainment industry anymore. Many women who previously didn’t care about politics and were obsessed with entertainment and celebrity chasing have started to actively care about political discourse due to this matter. Many people who didn’t care about the entertainment industry also realize this is not just a simple entertainment scandal but a political event affecting people’s safety and livelihood, so they feel anger and worry. Some people uploaded videos of heavy rain and thunder in Beijing in September to Bilibili, and many comments express disappointment with society and dissatisfaction with China, with some even comparing the June snow in the play “The Injustice to Dou E” to the hail in Beijing in September today (though the current abnormal environmental phenomena are indeed caused by anarchic capitalist production). It gives a feeling similar to the late feudal society when the masses used so-called religion and superstition as a veil to allude to regime changes. The trust crisis of the Chinese government has erupted again.

Platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin have extremely strict censorship. Some people get their comments deleted or accounts banned just for posting “so scared” or a picture of thunder. Some accounts used for years have been banned. There are rumors online that moderators revealed there is a strict order from above to suppress information (though the truth is unknown). So recently, many secondary and tertiary accounts have appeared on Bilibili, mostly refugees from Douyin and Xiaohongshu continuing to post comments and videos to raise awareness of the incident, because Bilibili is currently the most loosely regulated platform. Public rebellious sentiment is also rising sharply; in the past two years, many people have posted comments hinting at rebellion or the country’s downfall, and this has been increasing recently. I even saw someone register a Bilibili account named “Heaven, Open Your Eyes” or something similar.

Therefore, I think it can be said that the Yu Menglong incident is a flashpoint for the people’s anger against Chinese authoritarianism. The public’s suspicion, dissatisfaction, and anger toward China have clearly risen to a higher level, while China’s censorship and suppression have become even more frantic. If this continues, it will inevitably lay the foundation for larger-scale mass movements in the future.

This reminds me of the case of Luo Shuaiyu, which was full of twists and turns. There were even rumors that someone gave his parents tens of millions to silence them (it trended on social media). In the end, the authorities concluded that he committed suicide and directly declared nearly a dozen kilograms of evidence invalid. At the time when it was quite popular, this matter was discussed everywhere (on Bilibili). Many people used AI to create bloody and terrifying images, or pictures of live organ harvesting from children, accompanied by audio recordings. But shortly afterward, everything disappeared without a trace. It was completely inhumane! Public outrage erupted! Utterly heartless!

It reminds me of early August when the Jiangyou incident broke out. The Sichuan Cultural and Tourism’s Bilibili account was still updating other videos to divert attention. Many people in the comment section sarcastically asked, “I still see someone being put in a vehicle,” “Will I get beaten with a police baton if I go?” At that time, people also asked, “Is there any news from Pucheng now?” (The reply below was that there was no news at all). It’s clear that the people saw every brutal act committed by the Zhongxiu (Central Government), and sooner or later, these blood debts will be slowly paid one by one. Even on platforms like Bilibili, which are very bourgeois and somewhat detached from the working people, the voices of support and denunciation from the masses can be seen, indicating that Zhongxiu is truly hated by the people and that its rule is in imminent danger.

This year, it really feels like class struggle has been intensifying. From the beginning of the year until now, some of the more obvious large-scale events where the masses have shown support and protested include Pucheng, Huangyangdiantian, Jiangyou, and this time Yú Ménglóng. As for other smaller-scale protests and strikes, they are even more numerous—almost nonstop from the start of the year until now. (In previous years, it was rare to see large-scale public denunciations on domestic platforms.) Even students have spontaneously taken action against bourgeois educational institutions. High school students have distributed flyers and organized chants to pressure the “Old Nine” to have a normal holiday during National Day (otherwise, they only get three days off). Vocational high school students have protested in their dormitories against the “Old Nine” confiscating their phones, and university students have refused to attend classes after being admitted.

Tonight, I saw a video on Bilibili as evidence of Menglong’s crying and shouting, but I didn’t think to save it immediately. After more than ten minutes, when I looked again, I couldn’t find it anymore, and I realized it hadn’t been deleted.

I can’t understand: Is Yu Menglong’s case related to something done by the Chinese revisionists? Why would they cover up the cause of death of an ordinary celebrity? Moreover, many mass movements arise because the bourgeois government takes extreme measures, such as in the case of campus bullying, where instead of punishing the bullies to ease the conflict, there are false investigations and no punishment, which then triggers mass movements. How should we understand this self-destructive behavior of the Chinese revisionist bourgeoisie?

Although the true story behind the Yu Menglong incident is still unclear, it is certainly inseparable from the dark and decaying capitalist society system of Zhongxiu. The chaos in the entertainment industry is definitely linked to Zhongxiu’s official and capital interests. Based on materials circulated online, Zhongxiu has experienced many mysterious deaths of celebrities over the years, with methods that are extremely cruel (the most memorable is a celebrity whose hand was cut off, and then the severed hand was sent to a friend, who then also died mysteriously). These incidents are also interconnected. If it was truly just an accidental fall from a building, Zhongxiu wouldn’t need to hide it; it’s only because there are ghosts behind it that they have to do so.
You asked about Zhongxiu’s self-destruction. I have thought about this before. I believe it is also determined by its reactionary exploitative class nature. For example, in many campus bullying cases, the bullies themselves are often bureaucrat or wealthy family children, closely linked to Zhongxiu’s ruling class. They are local tyrants, and for the sake of class interests, they cannot truly apologize or be sentenced. The background and practices of the exploitative class determine their moral corruption, which inevitably leads them to bully others or engage in behaviors like Wang Sicong casually beating pedestrians or wealthy children recklessly crashing into crowds. Because they are the exploitative class, they cannot avoid exploitation and oppression of the people; this is the core class interest. Certainly, reform measures can deceive the masses temporarily, but reform itself does not touch the root. To fundamentally change the system is to threaten their lives. Just like Zhongxiu might cancel agricultural taxes due to pressure from mass struggles, or relax pandemic lockdowns due to workers’ protests, but they can never truly let the peasants and workers hold power—because their decadent lives cannot be sustained without their privileges.
Moreover, the reactionary worldview of the exploitative class also determines their methodology in suppressing the people with brutal means. They themselves are the most afraid of death and value their lives the most, so they project this onto the people, believing that the masses are also the most afraid of death. Therefore, they resort to all kinds of terror tactics to threaten and intimidate the people. Didn’t many people who exposed various dark phenomena in the past get threatened by police (for example, a post about Midea factory)? Ultimately, they do not trust the power of the people, only their own white terror.
Regarding this point (Fascism is just a manifestation of the bourgeoisie’s weakness), you can also see FallWind’s discussion:
