[People News] More than 20 days have passed since the case of Yu Menglong, yet the storm it has triggered has swept from China to overseas, beyond the control of the CCP authorities. Rumours surrounding the cause of Yu’s death continue to spread, involving not only the entertainment industry’s “unspoken rules” but also political-business scandals. Yu’s mentor, veteran Taiwanese artist Sun Derong, revealed that Yu appeared to him in a dream, spending five hours with him and confiding many things. Sun has once again spoken out, vowing to seek justice for Yu.
Since the incident, Sun Derong has repeatedly voiced concern for Yu, but later admitted that the truth of Yu’s case had already been suppressed by high-ranking CCP officials. Feeling weak due to poor health, he said he felt powerless. On September 28, Sun posted on Facebook that he dreamed of Yu Menglong: the two watched a movie together for five hours, during which Yu confided many things. Sun wrote, “He died miserably and helplessly. I need to think carefully about what to do next.” Many may find it eerie that a supernatural dimension has now been added to Yu’s case.
On September 29, Sun held a briefing at the Dizangwang Bodhisattva Temple in Xinzhuang, New Taipei City. There, he said he suffers from bladder cancer, and because he needs to change his urine bags, he had long been unable to sleep more than two and a half hours at a stretch. But that night, he slept five hours straight. When he woke up, his bed was wet, yet he remembered every detail of the dream clearly and vividly.
Sun also mentioned the key to Yu Menglong’s fall: financial issues. He named Tianyu Media directly, claiming Yu himself did not make that much money, yet his studio’s accounts held large sums. Yu considered this “ill-got wealth.” While gathering evidence, Yu may have let slip details to those closest to him. Sun asserted plainly that Yu was killed because “he lived too honestly, too uprightly.”
Sun described Yu as a little angel of truth, goodness, and beauty, yet who died inexplicably and was cremated hastily within five days. He demanded to know, “What exactly are they hiding?” For the young man who once called him “Dad,” Sun feels he bears a responsibility to restore Yu’s innocence. But Yu’s friends and family strongly oppose Sun travelling to Beijing, fearing he might never return.
Meanwhile, on September 21, netizens launched a global petition on the NGO platform AVAAZ titled “Justice for Yu Menglong.” As of September 29, more than 145,000 people had signed, the majority from Taiwan due to the difficulty of bypassing internet censorship in mainland China.
One commenter wrote: “I’m just an ordinary passerby in Taiwan, not biased to any side, but I know I must speak out for him! He was such a good person—everyone knows that. We cannot let evil keep prevailing! Let’s push the momentum up! Whether overseas or not, we cannot lose! We only want justice! If the truth is hidden, it means there’s something to hide! Please return his justice!” This time, netizens from both mainland China and Taiwan put aside some of their usual prejudices, encouraging one another and uniting around the shared wish to redress the injustice of Yu Menglong’s case. The pursuit of justice for him has, for the moment, brought kindhearted people on both sides of the Strait together. △
