Bruce Leung Siu-lung’s Sudden Death Sparks Link to Yu Menglong Case: Timing of Organ-Trafficking Video Raises Disturbing Questions
Hong Kong/Shenzhen, January 26, 2026 — Hong Kong’s entertainment world is in mourning after martial arts legend Bruce Leung Siu-lung, best known as the “Fire Cloud Evil God” in Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Hustle, died at age 77 on January 14 from heart failure following six hours of unsuccessful resuscitation in Shenzhen. Family statements confirmed the cause as cardiac arrest, yet the story has exploded far beyond a natural passing due to one critical detail: on January 13, Leung posted a widely viewed video calling for harsh penalties against organ traffickers—a highly sensitive issue that has fueled months of speculation around the 2025 death of young actor Yu Menglong.
In the Douyin (Chinese TikTok) clip, Leung spoke passionately about ethical organ donation, organ trafficking crimes, and the need for severe legal consequences—without naming names or making direct accusations. Less than 24 hours later, news of his death spread rapidly. Online communities in Hong Kong, mainland China, Vietnam, and beyond immediately connected the dots to Yu Menglong, the 37-year-old actor who fell from a high floor in Beijing on September 11, 2025. Police ruled it an alcohol-related accident, but over 600,000 people have signed petitions demanding reinvestigation, citing inconsistencies in autopsy reports, the sudden disappearance of his mother, and persistent rumors of organ-related foul play.
Medical experts note that sudden cardiac events are common in older adults, especially those with prior health issues, and no official evidence suggests foul play in Leung’s case. Still, the proximity of his outspoken video to his death has amplified existing distrust. Hashtags like #JusticeForYuMenglong surged again, with users posting side-by-side comparisons: “He spoke out, then gone—same pattern?” Others urged caution against conspiracy theories without proof.
Leung’s funeral is scheduled for January 26 in Hong Kong, with tributes pouring in from peers including Jackie Chan. Whether this remains a tragic coincidence or prompts calls for greater transparency in sensitive cases, the episode highlights how quickly online sentiment can link disparate tragedies when trust in official narratives is already fragile.
