On October 6, a drone show took place in Chongqing, mainland China, where a massive, colourful 'koi' pattern suddenly illuminated the night sky, leading the audience to excitedly chant 'Yu Menglong' (video screenshot).
[People News] The case involving mainland actor Yu Menglong continues to gain traction. Support for Yu Menglong is growing overseas, while within the Great Firewall, netizens are employing various methods to express their opinions and are storming major platforms, demanding 'We want a case, we want the truth' in defiance of the authorities. The Yu Menglong incident is igniting a Chinese-style 'network uprising'.
On October 6, during the drone show in Chongqing, the giant, colourful 'koi' pattern appeared again, prompting the audience to chant 'Yu Menglong, Yu Menglong' with excitement. The scene was both shocking and deeply moving. Netizens expressed their hopes that Yu Menglong, in heaven, 'received everyone's thoughts'.
In China, there is a longstanding saying about koi jumping over the dragon gate, and 'koi boy' is a nickname that fans have given to Yu Menglong. This nickname stems from the fact that he has frequently been rumoured to have faced unfair treatment and been sidelined throughout his acting career. Despite these challenges, he has never lost heart and has managed to rise from adversity, as if blessed by the goddess of fortune.
The death of Yu Menglong is a source of deep sorrow and regret, yet it has also drawn significant attention from the global Chinese community, with billions speaking out in his memory. This has led many fans to reinterpret the significance of the 'Koi Boy.' The unexpected emergence of a giant 'koi' in Wuhan has prompted netizens to speculate whether it carries a special meaning, with some using it as a way to commemorate the kind-hearted 'Koi Boy' Yu Menglong.
October 6th marks the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the early hours, around one o'clock in the morning, discussions about Yu Menglong on Douyin became particularly lively. A netizen posted on X, noting that those who feel nostalgia and anger often choose to express their thoughts during this time, as their comments would be swiftly removed during the day.
The cause of Yu Menglong's death remains unclear, and the authorities not only refuse to investigate or disclose the truth but have also taken unprecedented measures to control public discourse, punishing platforms, summoning individuals, silencing the media, and blocking netizens. Despite the increasingly frantic actions of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), mainland netizens continue to voice their support for Yu Menglong without fear.
When a travel agency employee recommended a 'Beijing tour' during a live stream, netizens responded with a barrage of comments. Let's see what they had to say:
'I dare not go; if I do, I fear I will only live to 37 years old.' 'The cleanest child in the entertainment industry has fallen in your Beijing.' Some netizens even questioned how residents of Beijing could go downstairs. They clarified that their anger was not directed at the host but was a reflection of widespread public outrage.
The hotline numbers 12337 and 12339 of the CCP's anti-crime office were also inundated with calls from netizens.
During a phone call, a young female internet user raised concerns about the police's swift closure of a case, stating, "As a citizen, I have two questions. First, has the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau truly followed a formal process, and is there any suspicion of negligence or laziness in governance? Second, the Yu Menglong Studio, which has already been deregistered, and the entertainment industry 'paparazzi' Jiang Xiaoyan, who initially reported the news, have taken it upon themselves to release details of the Yu Menglong case on behalf of the police. Do they possess the authority to do so? According to the National Secret Law and the regulations governing public security agencies, the release of case information should be handled by the police. Have the police granted them this power? Is there any conflict of interest between the national administrative bodies and these individuals? Is there a chance that the police have leaked information about the case?
Many netizens commended the young woman for her logical and coherent questioning.
The Beijing Chaoyang District Public Security Bureau has come under fire. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, netizens have been leaving comments on the tower.
"Daily question: has a case been filed today?"
"Please take the case seriously, restore his name, and reveal the truth."
"It's Mid-Autumn Festival again, but he is no longer here. This should have been a day for family reunions with his mother!"
"Delete, delete, delete—constantly deleting all day long. Why not take some real action? Can deleting it mean that nothing ever happened?"
"Your current actions are enabling the oppressors!"
Some members of the public expressed their despair, saying, "In the future, we can no longer trust the police!"
What has caused the Yu Menglong incident to have such a profound impact on the Chinese public? His situation not only sheds light on the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry but also reveals the judicial black hole and human rights abuses under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the world. Many netizens have voiced their discontent with the CCP system using the slogan, 'Today it is Yu Menglong, tomorrow it could be us.'
As the Chinese economy plunges into a downturn, the Yu Menglong case has intensified public discontent. Analysts suggest that with the Fourth Plenary Session approaching, if Xi Jinping fails to manage the Yu Menglong case effectively, the very waters that support his regime could also lead to its downfall, potentially triggering a significant crisis for his government. It is anticipated that this case may be seen as a pivotal event in China's 'rule of law crisis' in the future, serving as a crucial example for the international community studying human rights in China, and will likely be referenced repeatedly. This situation also reveals to many young people in mainland China the harsh reality that 'even if one tries hard to remain innocent, one may still be unable to safeguard oneself.'
