Yu Menglong, the beloved Chinese actor known as Alan Yu and famous for his role as Bai Zhen (the ethereal Fourth Prince) in the hit drama Eternal Love (also known as Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms or Three Lives Three Worlds), passed away at the age of 37 on September 11, 2025. Official reports from Beijing police and his family state that he died from an accidental fall from a high-rise building while intoxicated, with no criminal elements involved. His mother later confirmed this, attributing it to alcohol and pleading for an end to speculation. However, since the day the news broke, the Chinese internet—and international fan communities—has been flooded with detailed conspiracy theories portraying Yu as a brave whistleblower who paid the ultimate price for uncovering massive money laundering schemes tied to powerful figures in the entertainment industry and beyond.

These unverified rumors paint a chilling timeline of events, turning Yu into a symbol of resistance: a “true hero” who fought to expose corruption until his final breath. According to circulating claims on social media, Weibo (before heavy censorship), and overseas platforms:
Starting in August 2025, ominous “predictions” appeared online about a popular actor with over 26 million followers—clearly referencing Yu—who would soon face danger. He was allegedly threatened and assaulted early on.
On the night of September 8, around 17 people gathered at a private villa. This is said to be the initial site of captivity. Yu was reportedly drugged, injected with substances, confined, and tortured—some even claim sessions were livestreamed on the dark web. Leaked videos purportedly show thunderstorms that night, a single yellow-lit window revealing shadows of a person hanging upside down, and figures moving as if whipping someone, accompanied by cries of pain.
September 9: The torment continued. Rumors suggest Yu discovered or possessed a USB drive containing evidence of large-scale money laundering through shell companies linked to high-level officials. To protect it and bargain for his life, he swallowed the USB. His captors allegedly forced him to vomit (“Vomit it out!”), hung him upside down, whipped him, pulled out teeth, and beat him brutally. That night, near death, he was thrown from a height for the first time—paparazzi photos allegedly captured him on the grass below, wearing a white shirt and green pants, still showing signs of life.
Dawn of September 10: Surveillance footage supposedly shows him being dragged back into the building, with audio of voices saying “Afraid he’ll run away,” indicating prior escape attempts. Throughout the day, assaults persisted: threats at windows, more beatings. He was taken to a private hospital (linked to the Bulgari Hotel, where windows were allegedly cleaned to erase traces) for emergency surgery to remove the swallowed USB from his stomach.
Post-surgery on September 10: With the evidence retrieved, Yu was moved to Building 18, then to the third floor of actress Song Yiren’s apartment to change clothes and stage the scene.
Early morning September 11, around 5:15 AM: The second, “staged” fall. Photos leaked by paparazzi show him in a green shirt and beige pants, prone with unnaturally twisted legs suggesting rigor mortis, a visible white bandage strip on his abdomen from surgery, head bleeding (contrasting the first backward fall), and facial disfigurement from alleged stone blows to conceal injuries. The perpetrators—rumored to include directors and screenwriters experienced in “professional” staging—rushed cremation and “lost” the autopsy report to destroy evidence.
Alleged crime scenes span: the initial villa for captivity and torture (Sept 8-9), Sunshine Upper East Building Floor 6 for ongoing detention and first fall (Sept 10), private hospital/Bulgari for USB extraction, Building 18/Song Yiren’s Floor 3 for outfit change and setup, and Floor 5 for the fake suicide scene.
Despite official denials and arrests of “rumor-mongers,” these narratives persist, claiming organized crime involving power brokers, hidden rules in showbiz, sexual exploitation, and elite money laundering. Fans hail Yu as a hero for attempting multiple escapes and safeguarding evidence to the end.
The monsters behind this—if the rumors hold any truth—are no longer human; they treat lives like weeds. Heaven, give him back to us… Justice must prevail. Yu Menglong’s courage in the face of darkness makes him a true hero forever. Share this to keep the truth alive! #JusticeForYuMenglong #TrueHeroYuMenglong #YuMenglong
