Jin Ze's shocking turnaround on the seventh day! Details of being bullied by powerful figures revealed? (Video)

[People News] Hello everyone, welcome to "Hotspot Frontline." I am Xiao Kun.

Recently, the news surrounding the passing of mainland actor Jin Ze took a dramatic turn on the seventh day after his death.

You all must have seen it by now, right? Jin Ze's ex-girlfriend, Li Zifeng, unexpectedly released a series of chat records from 2022. Li Zifeng explicitly stated that Jin Ze's death is highly suspicious and called on fans to help seek justice for him. This revelation caused a stir online.

Why is that? Because until now, everyone believed that Jin Ze died from overwork. However, with the release of Li Zifeng's records, it became clear that the situation was not as we had thought. The records mention issues such as accompanying powerful figures, workplace bullying, and even specific details about kneeling and being dragged... With these descriptions coming to light, the doubts surrounding Jin Ze's death shifted from the public's initial assumption of "overwork" to a growing suspicion that there may be deeper power struggles within the entertainment industry at play.

The truth is far more disturbing than overwork.

I must be straightforward: what Jin Ze experienced was not merely workplace socialising. The chat records make it clear that during his time at Huayi, he was compelled to accompany certain influential figures in order to secure acting roles. Who are these individuals? The chat records specifically name Gong Yu and Liu Tao. You can look up these names yourself; each one wields significant power in the industry.

Many are asking, is this really acting? The details in the records—kneeling, being bitten, being forcibly dragged onto the bed—what do we call this? If the chat records are authentic, then this situation goes beyond mere workplace bullying and may involve more serious illegal activities.

A male actor over 1.8 meters tall, with excellent physical fitness, is forced to endure such suffering just to make a living and to pay for his father's medical treatment, only to end up blacklisted and completely marginalised by those in power. This is not what we typically refer to as the hidden rules of the entertainment industry; it is blatant personal humiliation.

In a chat, Jin Ze confided to his girlfriend that he was feeling depressed, uncomfortable, and on the verge of a breakdown, overwhelmed by pressure to the point where he could hardly breathe, yet he still needed to earn money. As I read those records, I couldn't help but think about how desperate a young person must be to tell his girlfriend that these pains are hard to articulate, that he feels he has no way out, and that such actions must be illegal.

Netizens asked Li Zifeng what Jin Ze meant by saying it was illegal. Li Zifeng explained that it referred to not having money to pay taxes, and she even lent him money at that time. Netizens sighed, suggesting that he might have been set up, much like Yu Menglong and Qiao Renliang.

It is clear that by 2022, Jin Ze was already at his wit's end; in fact, he was reaching out for help from his girlfriend, but they ultimately broke up. Now, upon hearing about Jin Ze's sudden departure, Li Zifeng is filled with guilt, expressing that she should have intervened to help him back then.

If these chat records are genuine, they reveal not just the struggles of a celebrity, but a harsh reality that any ordinary person could face: when power is sufficiently overwhelming, how much is a person's dignity truly worth?

Jin Ze is fully aware of the situation; he knows it’s wrong, yet he sees no way out. This is the most suffocating aspect of the entertainment industry: as long as you wish to remain in this world of fame and fortune, and as long as you hope to secure resources, you must transform yourself into a mere object that can be manipulated at will.

Jin Ze is not the first to experience this; if this issue had not been brought to light, he certainly would not be the last. This is not a dream factory; it is a place that tramples on human dignity, squeezing it dry before casually discarding it like trash.

What is most heartbreaking is that when he passed away, only 58,000 yuan remained in his account. While he was burdened with his seriously ill father's medical expenses, he recorded ominous predictions like 'I will die suddenly.' He had sought help and support in a group, but ultimately, he was blocked.

It’s no surprise that in his New Year message to fans this year, Jin Ze mentioned that he is getting older, his appearance and physique are declining, and if he is bullied or excluded, he hopes his fans will stand by him.

So, who exactly would bully him? Is it because he refuses to adhere to the unspoken rules that he faces exclusion? Audience friends, what are your thoughts? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments section.

In fact, such rumours are not new to the entertainment industry. Many netizens have recalled an incident involving male star Chen Xiao during his time with Huayi Brothers. After signing with Huayi Brothers in 2009, Chen Xiao reportedly faced harassment from a male executive during a return trip from an event. It is rumoured that to escape the situation, he jumped out of a moving vehicle, resulting in an arm injury, and he was out of contact for several months before ultimately deciding to terminate his contract and leave.

Why is the truth being concealed? 

At present, the parties involved—iQIYI, Huayi Brothers, Gong Yu, and Liu Tao—have not issued any statements. The police have not initiated an investigation, and the authenticity of the chat records has not been disproven. However, these newly revealed chat records directly highlight the distorted market environment in mainland China: a terrifying structure where acting is secondary to power, and resources can be obtained merely by 'submitting'; otherwise, one risks being destroyed. Jin Ze's death was certainly not an accident; it represents the culmination of his complete breakdown within the grotesque rules of the industry. 

Jin Ze sought help and resisted, but ultimately, he had to pay with his life to expose the industry's ugliness. If an actor must humbly 'accompany the big shots' to secure opportunities while alive, what right does this industry have to speak of 'dream-making'? 

The silence from iQIYI, Huayi Brothers, and the relevant executives, along with the police's inaction, does this not suggest a certain answer? If the truth continues to elude us, once the storm passes, Jin Ze may become the next Yu Menglong. So, who will be the next Jin Ze? 

What exactly did Jin Ze endure? Perhaps only he knows. 

As for the authenticity of those chat records, do you think the relevant authorities will provide society with an explanation? 

However, one thing is evident to all—a 33-year-old young actor, who once desperately sought help, ultimately found that no one truly reached out to him. If everyone chooses silence today, will the next person to fall simply be another nameless young actor?

The truth may be postponed, but it should never be permanently concealed. Silence acts as an accomplice, while indifference serves as the catalyst. We encourage you to stay tuned to our channel; we will monitor this unfolding situation until the truth is no longer suppressed. Until next time, see you in our next episode.
