In the autumn of 2025, the sudden death of Yu Menglong, a 37-year-old actor from mainland China, stirred an outpouring of grief and anger across the internet.

Authorities claimed he “fell to his death,” and police quickly ruled out any criminal suspicion. Soon afterward, massive post deletions and account bans swept Chinese social media.

But behind the silence and censorship, the public found another way to express their yearning for dignity and truth. As of October 16, the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP website had received 82 statements from Chinese netizens declaring ‘Three Withdrawals’on Yu Menglong’s behalf, symbolically helping him renounce the CCP’s Party, Youth League, and Young Pioneer organizations.

This was an act transcending life and death — a form of spiritual resistance against totalitarian rule.

Censorship and Doubt: A Political Shadow Behind an “Accident”

After Yu Menglong’s death was reported on September 11, the CCP’s public-security bureau announced within hours that it had “ruled out criminal suspicion.”

Subsequently, all online discussions were banned, and even the words “Yu Menglong” became temporarily censored.

Other versions of the story soon circulated: some said he was punished for rejecting the “hidden rules” of powerful entertainment figures; others, anonymously, alleged he was caught up in a mysterious “sacrifice ritual” tied to the CCP leadership’s quest for longevity.

Though impossible to verify, the regime’s habitual suppression of information and lack of due process left every “truth” surrounded by doubt.

This is the fate of a Chinese tragedy: people die in a flood of lies, and truth is buried in the abyss of the system.

“Three Withdrawals”: A Movement for the Soul’s Salvation

The “Three Withdrawals”—leaving the CCP, Youth League, and Young Pioneers—began in 2004 after The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published. To date, more than 450 million people have declared their withdrawals.

For many Chinese, this is not merely a political choice but a spiritual awakening.
The “pledge of devotion” made upon joining the CCP is seen as a pact binding one’s soul to evil; “quitting” becomes a ritual of breaking those chains.

Since its founding, the CCP’s political movements have killed 80 million people—from the Great Famine and Cultural Revolution to the persecution of Falun Gong and forced organ harvesting.

Thus, “Heaven will destroy the CCP” has become both a fatalistic prophecy and a belief that liberation from fear is possible.

Compassion Through Proxy: Speaking for the Dead

Yu Menglong’s death resonated deeply across China. Many netizens voluntarily posted “Three Withdrawals” statements in his name, their words simple yet filled with compassion:“He was kind in life but killed by CCP elites; I withdraw for him from the evil Party.”“He came to me in a dream saying he wanted freedom. I helped him quit so his soul may find light.”“Angel Yu descended and suffered this calamity to awaken the people. The evil Party will perish!”

Some said they dreamed of him uttering the word “freedom” in a classroom scene; others described sensing his spirit during meditation saying, ‘Then let’s withdraw.’

These beyond-reason testimonies reflect a long-suppressed spiritual instinct under dictatorship — a desire to seek justice for the good, even across worlds.

Global Petition: From Mourning to Action

On September 20, an international NGO platform, AVAAZ, launched a petition titled “Justice for Yu Menglong.”

The bilingual statement urged human-rights organizations to conduct an independent investigation, alleging possible illegal detention, forced medication, and violent abuse.

By the morning of October 27, nearly 600,000 people had signed.

The initiators wrote: “Justice will not descend automatically; it must be fought for together. We cannot allow this case to be buried or forgotten.”

This cross-border petition is not only an effort to redress a performer’s death but also a symbol of moral awakening among China’s younger generation.

People are beginning to question power, demand transparency, and call for justice — an almost revolutionary awakening in a nation sealed behind digital walls.

Turning of Public Sentiment: From Fear to Awakening

Yu Menglong’s death opened more eyes to the cruelty of totalitarianism.

“Not long after feeling proud at the 9/3 military parade, I saw Yu Menglong die tragically. I was shaken to the core. From today I quit the CCP!” — a former Party member

“The incident showed me that the CCP shelters evildoers through state power. After scaling the firewall, I saw the truth and withdrew from the Party, League, and Pioneers.” — a 22-year-old from Nanyang

“Even a senior official like Li Keqiang could die mysteriously. How can ordinary people be safe? Unless the CCP falls, no one is secure.” — a citizen commenter

Such voices, long silenced in China, have become an irrepressible undercurrent.

Epilogue: When Fear Becomes the Norm, Faith Becomes Resistance

Following the tragedy, the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP issued a statement:

“Heaven’s net is vast; good and evil are clear. The sea of suffering has a shore; life and death hinge on a thought. Every Chinese person who quits the CCP marks their conscience for themselves and for the nation’s future.”

Yu Menglong’s death may not be an isolated tragedy.
It is a microcosm of humanity’s collapse under dictatorship, a sacrificial altar masking crimes of the powerful, and a wake-up bell for moral conscience.

When justice is stripped away, truth silenced, and fear institutionalized, only through faith, morality, and action can people reclaim human dignity.

Let there be no next Yu Menglong.

Because truth and conscience are this nation’s last light.

Heaven’s destruction of the CCP is inevitable. Quitting the Party, League, and Pioneers ensures safety.
