Suspected photo of Lin Beichuan (Internet image)
[People News] On November 21, it was a tumultuous day for netizens within the Great Firewall who support Yu Menglong. Some described the atmosphere as chaotic and intense; all the accounts of major influencers who spoke out for Yu Menglong on Weibo were suspended, and newly created accounts were banned within a minute. In this conflict, two young individuals, including military descendant Lin Beichuan, faced not only slander and defamation but also potential life-threatening risks. His comrade, Beixing Qiye, was summoned for a late-night 'tea' meeting, and their social media accounts were being monitored, with one account after another being taken down. Simultaneously, a significant number of internet trolls were activated both domestically and internationally, recklessly disrupting the situation. Why has this malevolence suddenly escalated? It must have struck at the heart of the other side's most significant interests.
As of November 23, the global petition for Yu Menglong has garnered 698,000 signatures, nearing the 700,000 mark. In Toronto, Canada, a netizen has posted flyers promoting the global petition in over a dozen locations and has pledged to continue this effort. In Melbourne, Australia, flyers supporting the petition for Yu Menglong have also appeared on the streets. In New York, USA, Yu Menglong made his third appearance in Times Square.
November 20 marks the Cold Clothes Festival, a traditional Chinese sacrificial holiday recognised as one of the three major 'ghost festivals' in China, alongside Qingming and Zhongyuan. The primary custom involves burning paper-made cold clothes to convey feelings of longing for the deceased. Many netizens have participated in this practice, sending cold clothes to Yu Menglong through burning paper. Some netizens reported witnessing a remarkable phenomenon during the burning, where a purple halo continuously hovered, leading them to believe that this was Yu Menglong receiving energy.
On the evening of November 21, Lin Beichuan, a descendant of military lineage, faced intense resistance from the water army. Among the netizens advocating for Yu Menglong, he has emerged as a beacon of hope. On November 3, he was reportedly coerced into visiting the scene of the Yu Menglong incident, where he encountered several individuals in the Sunshine East Community. Following this, Lin Beichuan informed Beixing Qiye that he had been collectively reported by the suspects and warned that no one should contact him, as it could lead to their involvement. He also urged netizens to continue sending letters and making phone calls regarding the Yu Menglong case, emphasising its importance, and suggested they wait for his return. Since then, Lin Beichuan has not publicly confirmed his safety.
Last month, Lin Beichuan reported Bi Bo, the director of the Chaoyang District Public Security Bureau, as a key figure in the Yu Menglong case, and pointed to Wang Xiaohong, the Minister of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, as well.
On November 19, Beixing Qiye shared the latest screenshots of conversations with Lin Beichuan. What circumstances has Lin Beichuan encountered?
Lin Beichuan currently faces two choices. The first option is to sign a confession, admitting to charges of guiding and inciting netizens, which has led to social instability, and then be publicly punished as a warning to others. If he admits to this charge, it would also mean slapping the faces of all the netizens who have spoken out, making it even more difficult for them to support Yu Menglong online.
The second option is to be recalled to the border special forces and re-enlist. The border special forces are known to be the most arduous and dangerous, with potential life-threatening risks.
Let’s take a look at what Lin Beichuan said: "I am willing to be recalled, and I want to be recalled. I have already signed. My family does not want me to go back; they know that if I return this time, they may never see me again. But I want to go back; I don’t want to stay here, it’s very distressing. If I don’t come back this year, just forget about me and arrange everything else as you see fit. Thank you. But I don’t want to be here anymore; I want to find my family, I want to see my dad and mom."

It is said that Lin Beichuan comes from a family of three generations of soldiers, with his grandfather and parents already deceased. Lin Beichuan told Bei Xingqi Ye that if he does not report his safety by 2026, there is no need to wait; they should continue the main line and speak out for Yu Menglong.
Bei Xingqi Ye stated, "I once thought they would leave a way out for the descendants who sacrificed for the people, but later realised that this actually became a reason for no one to support him, allowing him to be bullied."
Some netizens revealed that a classmate of Lin Beichuan mentioned Yu Menglong during a university speech and was subsequently approached by the police, who pressured him to sign a statement shifting all responsibility onto Lin Beichuan.
Why is Lin Beichuan feeling so desperate that he seeks to find his deceased parents?
According to Beixing Qiye, enemy forces have hired a large number of online trolls, referred to as 'water armies', to launch a campaign on the external platform Threads aimed at discrediting Lin Beichuan. They are employing any means necessary to erase all traces of him. By doing so, everything associated with the name 'Lin Beichuan' will effectively disappear, and the voices of dissent will be significantly silenced; whether Lin Beichuan lives or dies will no longer matter. Furthermore, all the rumours propagated by these trolls on Threads will be mirrored one-to-one on the internal network, starting from Bilibili. A significant amount of this defamatory content is surfacing on the internal network, affecting netizens.
At present, both inside and outside the Great Firewall, rumours about Lin Beichuan are circulating on Threads and YouTube. Let's examine an analysis from a netizen dated November 3.
This netizen mentioned that initially, he did not fully trust the various voices online. However, one clue remains constant when digging deeper into the issue: what is the purpose behind his involvement, and who stands to benefit?
In reality, the campaign against Lin Beichuan began quite some time ago, with a plethora of defamatory terms being thrown around as if they were free. This netizen believes that Lin Beichuan has not gained any advantage from this incident; rather, he has drawn endless criticism and attacks. Therefore, following this line of reasoning, why are they targeting Lin Beichuan? Who are the beneficiaries?
From the outset of the Yu Menglong case, it was clear to everyone that this incident was certainly not an accident. The studio's statement, which holds no legal weight, the police report that fails to provide specific details, the rapid deletion of posts and account bans, along with the prohibitions on discussion and dissemination, all suggest that there are underlying issues at play.
One netizen remarked that Lin Beichuan is the only person who has managed to penetrate the inner circle, and he is currently the most targeted individual, as the opposing side is fully aware of who poses the greatest threat.
Beixing Qiye urged those who can access the outside internet from within the Great Firewall to join Threads to debunk and report the rumours surrounding Lin Beichuan's online army. On the night of November 21, the conflict between those inside and outside the firewall intensified. However, the narrative power within the firewall is not in the hands of netizens. Many users have had their Weibo accounts suspended, and Beixing Qiye's account has been disabled nearly 100 times. Ultimately, thousands of netizens followed Beixing Qiye to Zhihu, but within a few hours, his account on that platform vanished again.
Luban, a mainland writer who has consistently spoken out about the Yu Menglong incident, had his main account suspended for three months. His second account, 'Writer Luban 1986', along with a third account, was also taken down.
Currently in the United States for work, Luban continues to voice his opinions online. Following these events, he has contemplated immigration for the first time in his life. He stated, 'I am not afraid of death; what I fear is dying in a country that I deeply love yet feel utterly hopeless about.'
On November 18, he published a lengthy article, writing, 'At this moment, I am sitting in a rundown Starbucks in Los Angeles, reminiscing about the impressive Starbucks located in the upscale malls back home.'
Lu Ban questioned, "What crime have I committed? I am simply speaking out for justice," he stated. "Because there is still a trace of humanity and a sense of justice within me, I go everywhere to save people, and then I get arrested. I have to shout in court: I was saving people! I am innocent! Saving lives is not a crime!"
Lu Ban conveyed that recent events have led him to a state of near-total despair regarding Chinese society. "Because it has completely crossed my bottom line, it has shattered my worldview and beliefs!"
Indeed, under the oppressive regime of the Chinese Communist Party, advocating for justice and calling for kindness is an arduous and prolonged struggle, with every voice raised being incredibly valuable. We must appreciate every netizen, especially those who bravely stand at the forefront, shielding others from harm.
On November 22, a screenshot of a comment from the Douyin account 'Lin Beichuan' circulated on Bilibili. The phrases "goodbye," "I am leaving," and "I can't go back (home) anymore" appeared repeatedly, while urging other netizens to continue their perseverance (for Yu Menglong to seek justice). This video was swiftly deleted, but some netizens managed to record it in time. Currently, all of Lin Beichuan's Weibo accounts have been taken down.
So, why have the malevolent forces suddenly become so brazen?
In the third quarter of 2025, Mango Excellent Media saw its stock price drop by approximately 11.82%, with operating revenue declining by 6.58% year-on-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company plummeting by 33.47% year-on-year.
At a recent Mango TV concert, whenever the host mentioned Mango Excellent Media, the audience would shout 'bankrupt', creating an awkward situation for several artists. This demonstrates the immense power of netizens; they were once raking in profits, but now they have suffered significant losses—how can they not feel anxious?
Mainland capital views artists as cash cows and audiences as gullible consumers, forgetting who their true benefactors are. Without the public's spotlight, how can capital act so arrogantly? Without audiences supporting top stars, how can capital exploit and profit from fabricated personas?
Some netizens expressed that over the past two months, they feel that they are not helping Xiao Yu, but rather Xiao Yu is helping them. If it weren't for him, they would still be trapped in an information cocoon, entertaining themselves to death. Thanks to him, they realised that those celebrities are not worth spending a penny on; their focus should be on their family and themselves.
Netizens have exposed how money laundering operates within the entertainment industry. Those poorly made films without stars are falsely promoted as having production costs in the hundreds of millions, while films featuring stars often have salaries exceeding hundreds of millions, which are clearly not justified. In reality, these are all money laundering schemes. The actual costs or commercial values are far lower than the inflated figures presented, allowing black money to be converted into legitimate income through film projects.
The entertainment industry employs a strategy of sacrificing pawns. When a scandal breaks, those in power do not remain passive; instead, they often create an even larger scandal to shift public focus. For instance, if Star A is caught in a drug scandal, news of Star B's infidelity will be quickly leaked to distract the public from A's issues, using one pawn to safeguard the interests of many. Recently, the sudden speculation about Wu Yifan's death in prison has served as another diversion.
Additionally, some netizens have pointed out that as the year comes to a close, authorities will compile statistics on petitions. If a particular issue garners a significant number of petitions, it will be addressed. Thus, the malicious forces are eager to dismantle the core group, causing those who support Yu Menglong to falter.
This scenario cannot be dismissed. Furthermore, the Yu Menglong case has revealed not only the sordid underbelly of the entertainment industry but also what terrifies the authorities: money laundering by the elite, disappearances, and organ trafficking. If these crimes are exposed, they directly challenge the legitimacy of the CCP's governance. The public is beginning to realise that they have become an endless resource for the powerful; can they remain silent in the face of such exploitation?
Yu Menglong has garnered significant support from people within the system because, as a kind-hearted 'obedient citizen,' he was mercilessly silenced by the 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 an unclear death,' the public has come to understand through this incident. 'If I don’t speak out this time, next time it could be me.'
On November 18, Tang Boqiao, the chairman of the China Peace and Democracy Alliance and a survivor of the 1989 pro-democracy movement, shared a post on Platform X, stating: "Our team has spent several months conducting extensive investigations and undercover visits across various provinces and cities in the country, and the responses we received are encouraging." Below are some key points he publicly shared:
1. Dissatisfaction with the current regime has become mainstream, with urban residents expressing even greater discontent, particularly in first- and second-tier cities.
2. The highest level of dissatisfaction is among young people under 30, nearing 80%, especially among recent university graduates, most of whom identify as part of the 'lying flat' generation and believe 'we are all the last generation.'
3. Following the pandemic, real estate prices in most first- and second-tier cities have plummeted by half, with some areas seeing declines exceeding 70%. The wave of mortgage defaults is shifting from isolated incidents to a widespread issue.
4. The outflow of assets continues to accelerate, and investment in the real economy has completely stalled, with no signs of recovery in the near future.
5. Many individual business owners have depleted their savings, and a comprehensive social crisis is merely a matter of time.
6. For graduates, graduation equates to unemployment. The actual unemployment rate for university graduates far surpasses official statistics, and they are all searching for new opportunities. They may become a significant force opposing the Communist Party in the future.
7. The centrifugal tendencies within the system are more pronounced than those outside, particularly in the military and the arts. The military harbours deep grievances, while the arts sector has faced the most severe purges. They possess the clearest understanding of the CCP system and the strongest dissatisfaction with the current authorities.
8. The unequal distribution of power among the core leadership has reached a critical point, with unprecedented internal conflicts among the red aristocratic families that could erupt into public disputes at any moment.
9. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is profiting from the live harvesting of human organs. The entire electric fraud syndicate in Southeast Asia is an industry backed by the CCP, which serves as a cover and extension for these operations. Once the full extent of this dark reality is revealed, it will prompt a moral reckoning for humanity and could become the final blow to the CCP's legitimacy.
Tang Baiqiao remarked that this is merely the tip of the iceberg regarding the information we possess, sufficient to expose the CCP's 'Emperor's New Clothes.' He further disclosed that this article is being widely disseminated within the country, with estimates suggesting that at least several million people have seen it, possibly more. Specific details cannot be disclosed at this time.
He concluded by stating, 'Today’s China is utterly corrupt, inciting the wrath of heaven and the anger of the people. What we lack now is not justification, but action. If you desire a world free from the tyrannical regime of the CCP, let us unite and take action to bring it to an end! The history of the future will be written by us!'
