Is the Case of Yu Menglong and the Xi-zhang Struggle a Turning Point in China's Major Changes?

[People News] The unique aspect of Yu Menglong:

Netizens have commented: What makes Yu Menglong so special? There are countless individuals, even hundreds of millions, who have been persecuted by the evil Communist Party, and many have suffered more severely than Yu Menglong. He has not spoken out for others; at most, he has chosen not to compromise with the corrupt. Why does Yu Menglong attract so much attention while others do not?

I completely agree. Let me provide a few examples: Xu Qinxian, who stood up for the people in 1989, Gao Zhisheng, who has faced continuous persecution since 2006 and has been missing for nearly 8 years, and Cheng Peiming, a survivor of organ harvesting—these selfless individuals are seldom mentioned.

Recently, the topic of anti-Japan sentiment has also gained significant traction. How many young people are aware that the Communist Party colluded with Japan to kill countless Nationalist soldiers, such as Rao Guohua? Mao Zedong repeatedly expressed gratitude to Japan for its invasion of China, which helped elevate the Communist Party to power. Interestingly, Rao Guohua bears a resemblance to Han Kuo-yu, Chen Shih-chung resembles Yamamoto Tamon, and Trump resembles Patton. Is this a case of reincarnation?

I digress. Some individuals in the self-media sphere suggest that Yu Menglong is receiving attention due to his good looks, but I do not entirely agree. China's economy continues to worsen, and an increasing number of people are losing their basic means of survival. In recent years, far too many young people have mysteriously disappeared; Chinese parents are now living in fear. The recent protests against schools conducting blood tests serve as evidence of this.

The reason Yu Menglong has garnered significant support from people within China is that, as a kind-hearted 'obedient citizen', he too was ruthlessly killed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This type of 'obedient citizen' reflects the reality of many Chinese people today. 'Even if I live my life honestly, I could still die without knowing why,' the public has suddenly come to this realisation, 'if I don't speak up this time, it will be my turn next time.' This can be seen as a form of progress.

People are in need of an outlet, a reason to express their frustrations against the evil CCP and against Xi Baobao. They also seek a justification to resist organ harvesting. While it is well-known that the atrocity of organ harvesting was first exposed by Falun Gong practitioners in 2006, and that the majority of victims are Falun Gong practitioners, people are hesitant to mention Falun Gong. This is because everyone understands that Falun Gong is the most sensitive red line for the CCP; mentioning it could lead to imprisonment. Thus, discussing Yu Menglong is much safer. Yu Menglong embodies the sunny image of a friendly neighbour, endearing him to fans and eliciting sighs from countless parents.

Being able to speak out against organ harvesting and to withdraw from the CCP because of this issue is a positive development, a good start. If one cannot advocate for dissidents, conscience prisoners, rights defenders, religious groups, and Falun Dafa practitioners, but instead resorts to mockery or slander against the persecuted, it will be challenging for the Chinese people to achieve liberation.

East-West Gemini:

The phrase "elephant in the room" is an English idiom that describes issues or facts that are obvious yet are intentionally ignored or avoided for various reasons, such as sensitivity, taboo, or the potential to cause conflict. This expression comes from a fable where people can notice very small things in a room but overlook something as enormous as an elephant. It is also frequently used to illustrate a "conspiratorial collective silence" or situations where individuals choose to ignore something due to embarrassment, taboo, fear, or the risk of disputes.

Charlie Kirk and Yu Menglong have some similarities, which is why some refer to them as the Eastern and Western twins; however, their differences are more significant. The most notable difference is that Charlie is successful in his career, enjoys a happy life, and has a fulfilling family. He fights for others, for America, and for the next generation; he died on the podium, which was his battlefield. His organisation, "Turning Point USA," saw a tenfold expansion just one week after his assassination.

Many of Charlie's remarks can be categorised as the "elephant in the room," such as his public opposition to communism. The extreme left in America represents the evil of communism, and the newly elected mayor of New York City is openly implementing communist policies. Charlie understands that in today's extreme left society in America, his bold statements could lead to his demise. For the beliefs he holds dear, he chooses to press on courageously. Yu Menglong is reported to have endured long-term abuse and control starting at the age of 25, lasting a full 12 years. Perhaps, during those 12 years, he had opportunities to escape?

This raises another issue: there have been numerous incidents in mainland China involving revenge killings, indiscriminate violence against innocents, and even the murder of children. Those involved feel deeply aggrieved, with no means to seek justice, leading to a sense of despair and a desire to take others down with them before they die. Cowards! Why not confront those who truly oppress you? Why only target those who are weaker than you?

The author opposes violence and believes that the 'three withdrawals' is the only and most effective method to save China. However, if there are individuals who genuinely feel they cannot continue living and seek death as a form of liberation, then at the very least, they could follow the example of Peng Lifafa, who hung a large banner to leave a mark in history. If you are not afraid of death, why fear making a statement? In fact, with today's advanced technology, you can learn from the Chongqing warrior Qi Hong, make your statement, and start anew overseas to live a beautiful life. Life is precious; killing is a sin, and suicide is also a sin, making it difficult to transcend.

At the age of 26, Charlie began dating Erica in 2019, and two years later, they married and welcomed two lovely children. An old Chinese saying goes, 'Men should marry when they grow up, and women should marry when they mature.' In the Chinese entertainment industry, many idol-type stars often engage in secret relationships to maintain their public image while appearing single, such as Andy Lau and Jackie Chan, who have numerous illegitimate children. Charlie may not be a star, but he is a public figure, and Erica was crowned Miss Arizona in 2012. They do not carry the burden of being idols and have successfully balanced both career and love.

In 2025, Erica and Charlie Kirk spoke together at an event in Texas.

China's Turning Point: Avoiding the Root Cause Will Not Cure the Illness.

Confucius stated, "The village hypocrite is a thief of virtue," which suggests that those who seem honest and kind in the village are, at first glance, good-natured individuals. However, these people often align themselves with the negative customs and habits of society. They may appear trustworthy and can easily win the favour of others, but in truth, these are mere disguises, intentionally crafted to appeal to the masses and earn public admiration. The teachings of Yao and Shun represent the path of the sages, which emphasises a heart of utmost sincerity. Thus, these hypocrites are the ones who undermine morality. The term "village hypocrite" describes those who ignore the "elephant in the room." The connection between Eastern and Western cultures is indeed fascinating.

Those who help themselves are aided by heaven; those who neglect themselves are forsaken by heaven. Speaking vaguely for self-preservation, or hoping to ascend through luck and laziness, all represent a certain degree of abandonment of personal responsibility and effort. To truly sever ties with the evil Chinese Communist Party and genuinely advocate for all good people is the only way to eliminate the shared karma on Chinese soil. I hope that my beloved compatriots, I can unite and step into a brighter future together.

The turning point for the Chinese people must come from within. The "Three Withdrawals" movement represents a pivotal moment in the fate of the Chinese people. Some claim that this movement has been ongoing for 21 years. It takes time to freeze three feet; it does not happen overnight. Several generations of Chinese have been indoctrinated by the evil Communist Party, making it challenging to reverse course. It is normal for the process of change to take longer; if it happens too quickly, it risks breaking. Consider how much suffering Sun Wukong endured to transform from a stone monkey into a Buddha, and how Tang Seng had to reincarnate ten times to acquire the true scriptures. It is already fortunate that 450 million people have withdrawn from the Party after just 21 years of growing pains.
