After Chinese actor Yu Menglong fell to his death, all news about the incident was completely censored. The public suspects that his cause of death was not simple, and rumors linking the case to CCP officials have ignited public outrage and a wave of “Three Withdrawals” (quitting the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers).

[People News] The Chinese Communist Party’s Fourth Plenary Session opened today (October 20) amid intensifying infighting at the top of the regime. Meanwhile, the Yu Menglong case—which has spread from public outrage into the heart of Zhongnanhai—has directed popular anger squarely at Xi Jinping and Cai Qi. The incident continues to fuel a growing wave of “Three Withdrawals” (withdrawals from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers). Observers say the controversy has indirectly shaken the political atmosphere surrounding the plenary session.
Over 530,000 Join Global Petition to “Seek Justice for Yu Menglong”
Yu Menglong, a 37-year-old Chinese actor with 20 million followers, died under mysterious circumstances after an alleged “fall from a building” on September 11. Police swiftly ruled out foul play and moved to censor online discussion, but public suspicion only deepened.
On September 20, a netizen launched a global petition on the NGO platform Avaaz, titled “Seek Justice for Yu Menglong,” stating that his death showed strong signs of brutal torture and calling for a full, independent, and transparent investigation. As of about 7 a.m. Beijing time on October 20, more than 530,000 people had signed the petition in support.
On October 6, Chinese singer Jula (t) released a new song “Are You Listening?”—a tribute to his late friend Yu Menglong. The music video ends with their final chat message: “Wait for me.”
Since then, thousands of fans have posted daily beneath the MV to mourn him:“The truth will surface eventually.”“We won’t disband until this case is solved.”“Stay strong—this is a long fight.”
One comment on October 19 read, “Still holding on… poor Yu Menglong.”
Yu Menglong’s Death Sparks a Wave of CCP Withdrawals
The regime’s claim that Yu’s fall was a “drunken accident” has been widely rejected. Reports of corruption, decadence, and sexual coercion within elite circles have enraged the public. The scandal has awakened many Chinese people—both in China and overseas—to what they now call “the CCP’s true face.”
On overseas “Tuidang” (Quit the CCP) websites, statements explicitly linking withdrawals to Yu Menglong’s death have surged in the past month. A few examples reported by The Dajiyuan:
Lu Yuqing (Oct 18, Mainland China):“After Yu Menglong’s case, I began to see the CCP’s real nature—ordinary people are nothing but slaves to the rulers. I once felt proud to join the Youth League, but now I see this regime harvests organs and tramples lives. It’s disgusting—I renounce the Communist Party.”
Fang Lei (Oct 15, China):“This case made me fully grasp the CCP’s evil—treating us as spare-parts factories for organs. I withdraw from the Party, League, and Young Pioneers.”
Zhan Miaoqin (Oct 15):“After learning the truth, my worldview collapsed. I hereby withdraw from the Youth League and Young Pioneers, never again to be associated with the CCP.”
Tian Tian (Oct 14):“Since childhood under the one-child policy I lived in fear. Yu Menglong’s unjust death broke my last hope. I withdraw from the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers.”
Li Lin (Oct 14):“Now living overseas, I once naively joined the Young Pioneers. After seeing the truth of the Yu Menglong incident, I withdraw.”
Zhang Qisheng (Oct 11, age 22):“After learning what the CCP hides, and its use of state power to shield murderers, I renounce all past oaths and quit the Party, League, and Young Pioneers.”
Mr. Chen (Oct 11):“Through Yu Menglong’s case, I realized ‘Hell is empty—the devils walk the earth.’ I withdraw for myself and my late father.”
Xia Chuan (Oct 9, Canada):“This case awakened me. I quit the League and Young Pioneers—this organization is more evil than any cult.”
Ms. Wu and her husband jointly declared:“Yu Menglong’s death compels us to cut all ties with the CCP. May justice come swiftly.”
Li Ming stated:“After seeing the regime’s crimes, I renounce all former pledges and withdraw from its organizations. I stand opposed to the CCP forever.”

Commentators: A Political Avalanche in the Making
Analyst Li Linyi told The Dajiyuan that this “Three Withdrawals” movement could have a devastating effect on the CCP, comparing it to how a mountaineer’s shout can trigger an avalanche: it may strike directly at the ongoing Fourth Plenary Session—awakening conscience among some cadres while terrifying hardliners and accelerating open factional conflict.
The Dajiyuan reported on October 15 that Yu Menglong’s case had already sparked a new “Three Withdrawals” surge among Chinese both at home and abroad, widely covered by Taiwanese media.
Xi and Cai Qi Become Main Targets — CCP Enters “Garbage Time”
Online sources claim Yu Menglong was killed for resisting the sexual exploitation of powerful industry figures linked to families of Xi Jinping and Cai Qi.
On September 22, China’s Cyberspace Administration launched a two-month campaign to crack down on “malicious negative speech”—timed precisely to cover the plenary session. Cai Qi, head of the CCP’s propaganda and censorship apparatus, oversees that effort.
In an October 18 article in Taiwan’s Up Media, independent writer Du Zheng noted that Cai Qi’s 2023 campaign promoting “Xi Jinping Thought” had already fizzled out—nobody truly believes in communism anymore. Officials and citizens alike merely go through the motions. Before this plenary session, the sycophantic praise for Xi seen before the 19th Congress was conspicuously absent.
Three days before the session, Beijing abruptly announced the expulsion of nine top generals—including He Weidong and Miao Hua—from the Party and the military, and referred them for prosecution. All had been hand-picked by Xi. Analysts say the mass purge, whether or not it signals loss of control, has effectively destroyed Xi’s authority.
Du Zheng observed that inside China, both officials and citizens now see Xi Jinping and Cai Qi as dual targets of public anger.
Li Linyi commented that the CCP is already mired in factional crisis, and its heavy-handed censorship of Yu Menglong’s case could push online dissent into street action. “Just as the White Paper Movement ended the disastrous zero-COVID policy,” he said, “the Yu Menglong case could ignite the spark that ends the CCP’s tyranny.”
The X account “New Highland” wrote that Xi’s regime has clearly underestimated the depth of public resentment:“From celebrity gossip to outrage over judicial darkness, it has ignited collective fury at the powerful’s impunity. Yu Menglong’s death has become a mirror—reflecting cracks in censorship and the trembling of an empire in the torrent of information.”
U.S.-based political commentator Tang Jingyuan told The Dajiyuan that while similar incidents were once easily silenced, this one has exploded into global attention. “Today, anything can trigger chain reactions that strike at the CCP’s foundations,” he said. “This system has entered its garbage-time phase.”
