[People News] The unexpected death of 37-year-old mainland actor Yu Menglong has left millions mourning. The absence of an official investigation has sparked significant backlash from netizens. On September 26, Yu Menglong's friend Li Xiaolan posted on Weibo, revealing her presence in Xinjiang and speaking cryptically, prompting netizens to speculate that "Yu Menglong has returned to his hometown."
On September 26, Li Xiaolan shared multiple photos of the Hongguang Mountain Big Buddha Temple in Urumqi on Weibo, along with some scenic shots. One photo depicted her sitting in a car, gazing out the window during heavy rain, with the caption, "9.24 Rain. The rest is sunny." Given that Yu Menglong is from Urumqi, many netizens speculated that she must be accompanying him back home, expressing their condolences with comments like, "Everyone will always remember him, cherishing such a wonderful person."
On September 11, the Menglong Studio confirmed the news of Yu Menglong's death. Twelve hours later, the police concluded that the cause of his death did not involve any criminal responsibility. In the early hours of September 12, Li Xiaolan expressed her grief in a post, saying, "I can't sleep, my head hurts, and I can't understand. Why would someone who is so afraid of pain and heights, who has to turn their face away during a blood test, choose this path? This is not the lowest point; he didn't choose this path even at his lowest. He is not the kind of person who would take this route, so why? Someone who loves his family and mother so much, who values family ties above all else, how could he bear to leave his loved ones? Why? So why? Meng, why?" Despite her profound sorrow, Li Xiaolan firmly believed that Yu Menglong would never take his own life.
As netizens began to question the circumstances surrounding Yu Menglong's death and uncovered the hidden rules of the entertainment industry, as well as the potential involvement of powerful officials, Li Xiaolan refrained from making any further posts. However, when she suddenly posted again on the 26th, some netizens speculated that she might have accompanied Yu Menglong's mother to bring his ashes back to Urumqi.
Reports indicate that when Yu Menglong's mother received the news of her son's passing, she fainted immediately and was rushed to the emergency room. Medical personnel disclosed that she repeatedly called out her son's name in a dazed state while in the examination room, and she then hurried from Urumqi to Beijing to manage the aftermath.
Amid the official suppression of discussions regarding Yu Menglong's case, the public was sceptical of the official conclusion that he died from an "accidental fall while drinking." Following this, a letter of grievance from Yu Menglong's mother emerged, and there were even rumours about her going missing, raising concerns among netizens.
After the death of Yu Menglong's (于朦朧) father, he was raised solely by his mother. To ensure that Yu Menglong could pursue his studies more effectively, his mother worked tirelessly to move him from Xinjiang to Beijing for his education. Yu Menglong had promised to provide a good life for her. In several interviews prior to his death, he spoke about the challenges his mother faced while raising him. After he began earning money, he recalled her words: 'In the future, when I have my own house, I want to fill the balcony with roses.' As a result, he purchased a house with a balcony for her in Urumqi. Now, Yu's mother has lost both her husband and son, and she remains unaware of the truth surrounding her son's death.
On September 20, netizens launched a global petition titled 'Justice for Yu Menglong' on the official website of the global NGO AVAAZ. By September 28, over 120,000 people had joined the petition. It is hoped that the pressure from netizens will lead to the truth about Yu Menglong's death being brought to light.
