On September 11, 2025, Chinese actor Yu Menglong died in Beijing at the age of 37. The official report from the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau was swift and sterile: an accidental fall from a high-rise building, the tragic result of intoxication. Authorities reported that the alcohol levels in his blood were at 'dangerous levels'.
But this official narrative, far from closing the case, has been met with widespread disbelief and anger, sparking huge protests in mainland China. For millions, this was not a simple tragedy. This was the death of an actor they loved, known for his role as the loyal and devoted fourth brother in the popular show Eternal Love.
