Yu Menglong’s 38th Posthumous Birthday! Strange Phenomena Appear in Beijing, Unusual Sights Seen in Taiwan

Yu Menglong’s 38th Posthumous Birthday! Strange Phenomena Appear in Beijing, Unusual Sights Seen in Taiwan (Video)

[People News] Hello everyone, and welcome to 'Forbidden News Decoded'. I am Sun Ning.

On June 15, it marked the 38th birthday of Yu Menglong, but this year, it has become his death anniversary. For countless individuals who hold him dear, this day carries significant weight. The collective longing from around the globe is converging into an immense force.

People are commemorating his birthday in their own unique ways. Yet, the lighter the words spoken, the heavier the pain felt in their hearts.

Today, I want to share a genuine scene with you. As the longing is deeply felt, a sudden storm with fierce winds and hail cast a shadow over the Chaoyang District of Beijing. In stark contrast, Taiwan basked in sunny weather, with the sky even showcasing the rare phenomenon of 'heart-shaped dragon scales'. Despite being separated by a body of water, the celestial events were strikingly different, and the situations were worlds apart. Nevertheless, those who wish to hold onto memories are united in their purpose—regardless of where we are, we must remember.

The warmth of the memorial service in Yunlin, Taiwan

On June 13, a dedicated group of allies in Taiwan, who are concerned about Yu Menglong, gathered from various locations in Yunlin to collaboratively organise a birthday memorial service in his honour.

The setup at the venue may not be extravagant, but it is imbued with thoughtfulness. A SpongeBob cake sits quietly on the table, surrounded by bouquets of fresh flowers. The most striking feature is the display board hanging on the wall, which is densely covered with signatures. For those present, these signatures represent more than mere symbols; they are solemn commitments.

On the day of the event, the sky showcased uniquely shaped dragon-scale clouds. Some attendees likened them to a coiled dragon's head, while others saw a 'heart', but everyone felt it was a response from Yu Menglong (于朦朧) to the crowd.

Dear audience, what do you think this unusual cloud formation resembles? Is this truly a response from Yu Menglong? We welcome you to share your thoughts in the comments section.

At the heart of Yu Menglong's birthday celebration in Taiwan is a public welfare initiative for adopting streetlights.

As the adoption process progressed, six hundred and fifteen streetlights illuminated various streets in sequence. In the darkness, these scattered lights converged, creating a warm river of light. There were no fervent slogans or loud celebrations; instead, everyone chose to express a sense of unfinished warmth through this quiet, charitable act.

In Taiwan, longing can be placed on the table and expressed under the lights. It is warm, resonant, and a heartfelt sentiment that is permitted to exist. People come together to hug, cry, and voice the feelings that have been bottled up inside. However, this kind of openness about commemoration is considered a luxury and a risk when it comes to the mainland across the strait.

Beijing's hail and control.

Meanwhile, the scene in Chaoyang District, Beijing, was starkly different. On the afternoon of June 13, a torrential downpour accompanied by hail transformed the streets into a blurred mess.

This is the place where Yu Menglong departed. Even after nine months, this location still evokes profound pain for netizens. The rain arrived with such suddenness and ferocity that, for many, it transcended mere unusual weather; at that moment, the downpour and hail seemed to carry an unspeakable heaviness.

Just days prior, on June 10, Beijing experienced an unusual snowfall. For the Chinese, the phenomenon of 'frost in June' is linked to notions of 'injustice.' Netizens believe that the June ghost festival, heavy rain, hail, and June snow, along with the misty and rainy atmosphere, all serve as celestial signals of Yu Menglong's plight.

As June 15 draws near, various forms of control across mainland China have intensified. Many netizens report being frequently summoned by the police for 'tea,' with some even called in for discussions twice in a single day.

In this climate of pressure, public commemorative events have become a distant dream, yet silence does not equate to forgetting.

We observe that in the corners of social media, visual records continue to emerge. They resemble tender shoots sprouting after rain, struggling to grow within the tight confines of control. Despite the constricted space and the suppression of dialogue, the desire to celebrate his birthday remains remarkably resilient.

Just before our program aired, I noticed that a significant number of images and texts commemorating Yu Menglong's birthday had been removed and diminished on Chinese social media.

These records are not extraordinary feats; they represent the simplest persistence of ordinary individuals striving to hold onto a sliver of warmth amidst a stormy environment. Yet, they have been ruthlessly erased.

The Rebirth Stone in the Iron Cage

If we shift our focus to that sacred mountain in Tibet, we can observe an even more shocking scene.

On the pilgrimage route to Mount Kailash, there lies a massive rock known locally as the Rebirth Stone. In the past, it served as the starting point for countless travellers to express their sorrow, where people would traditionally affix photos of their loved ones to the stone, praying for divine blessings for peace. Since September of last year, images of Yu Menglong have continuously appeared on the Rebirth Stone.

However, today, netizens were confronted with a shocking sight: this stone has been enclosed in a cold iron cage. The photos that once held memories have been entirely removed, replaced by a cold iron fence that restricts public access.

Memory should not have boundaries, yet reality has drawn line after line. The fence stands there, cold and unyielding. Observing this scene, one might suddenly feel a tightness in their chest. This stone was meant to symbolise rest, but it has now been forcibly isolated. Much like many situations, where everyone simply wishes to remember, they are consistently obstructed by layer upon layer. That feeling is akin to being on the verge of speaking, only to have someone firmly cover your mouth.

However, the Chinese Communist Party's iron cage cannot suppress global public opinion. As of June 12, the number of global signatories for 'Seeking Justice for Yu Menglong' has exceeded 800,000. These 800,000 names represent 800,000 real individuals who, despite being in different countries and cities and facing various restrictions, have chosen to leave a record of their own in the most direct manner.

This kind of response highlights an important truth: when a person's name and dignity are placed in a vacuum, the human desire for truth becomes more resilient than ever.

Persist in the light of dawn.

Many people wonder why it has become so difficult to hold a memorial in this day and age. On June 13th in Beijing, heavy rain and hail fell; in Tibet, the stone of rebirth is locked away behind barbed wire. Even in the absence of a response, it sometimes takes great courage just to mention this name.

Since last September, netizens have traversed a thorny path, and still, there is no resolution in sight. Many have realised that the Chinese society they confront is deeply tragic, silencing those who dare to speak the truth, causing the honest to suffer, allowing good people to be wronged, and letting the unscrupulous thrive. Some ask, is there any real significance in this? Will there be any outcome?

One netizen articulated it beautifully: even ants can shake a great tree. This brings to mind that striking image—millions of ordinary people, regarded as “ants” by the powerful, are lifting that memory with their hands. It is this unwavering belief, which refuses to relent until the goal is achieved, that truly drives us forward to this day.

I often ponder, in a country where truth is absent and mourning is criminalised, what is the purpose of commemorating an individual? Perhaps it is not just to honour the past, but also to preserve the last flicker of clarity in our hearts before the truth is revealed.

Protecting memory requires strength, and so does safeguarding health. This episode is sponsored by 'Puritan Hall'.

Finally, I urge every viewer to like and share our program today. On this day, we are all here together; no matter where we are, we are accompanying him in celebrating this birthday. Even if there is heavy rain outside, even if there are iron bars on the road, and even if dawn has yet to break, we will not disperse.
