Chain of Shadows: Yu Menglong’s Death Revives Questions Over Tianyu Media’s String of Young Talent Tragedies

Shockingly, Yu Menglong has become the latest victim in a devastating series plaguing one Chinese entertainment agency’s roster—young talents vanishing through mysterious falls and abrupt deaths that echo each other in terrifying detail. Fans, gripped by empathy and outrage, unite to demand long-overdue investigations into these haunting losses that stole so many promising lives.

BEIJING – January 5, 2026: Nearly four months after Yu Menglong‘s fatal fall in Beijing, ruled accidental by police, the case spotlights a grim history at Tianyu Media (EE-Media). The beloved 37-year-old actor joined a list of at least nine affiliated young stars who died mysteriously over 20 years, per reports from Koreaboo, Vision Times, and international media.

Yu’s philanthropy and gentle persona made his loss profound. Official accounts describe an intoxicated accidental plunge after a gathering. Yet, netizens uncovered parallels:

• Tan Beixi (2006) → unusual car crash.
• Shang Yubo (2011) → rooftop fall.
• Bian Ce (2015) → building plunge in Tianjin.
• Ben Xi (2016) → residential jump.
• Qiao Renliang (2016) → suicide ruling.
• Ren Jiao (2017) → hotel fall.
• Lu Jiayong (2019) → disappearance amid stress posts.
• Cai Chong (2020) → abrupt passing.

Falls dominate, often with rapid accident/suicide conclusions and minimal details.

Outrage sparked street protests, LED tributes, and corporate fallout—stock drops, resignations at Mango Super Media. Censorship fueled distrust, with fans flooding hotlines and launching global petitions.

Shared elements like manager Du Qiang, exploitative practices, or industry “rules” emerge in discussions. Some deaths overlapped locations or involved alcohol/drugs.

Tianyu remains silent; officials uphold individual rulings. Yet, the toll on rising talents prompts broader concerns about mental health, contracts, and accountability in China’s state-linked entertainment.

Fans channel grief into advocacy, honoring Yu’s light while seeking justice for all. How many more must fall before truth breaks free? The unified demand grows louder.
