The death of Chinese actor Yu Menglong on Sept. 11 continues to send shock waves through society. As more details and testimony surface online, the tragedy has come to symbolize something far deeper—a chilling reflection of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) moral decay and the cruelty embedded in the system it sustains.
Behind the glittering facade of China’s entertainment industry lies a world of exploitation, fear, and abuse. The darkness exposed by Yu’s mysterious death is not limited to celebrity culture; it is a window into the pervasive evil and inhumanity that have long defined life in what many now call the “CCP-controlled state.”
In the eyes of the CCP elite, ordinary Chinese lives hold no sacred value. From Falun Gong practitioners and qigong enthusiasts to students, soldiers, and everyday citizens, all are treated as “walking human mines”—sources of profit to be used, drained, or discarded.
Decades of indoctrination have numbed moral sensibilities, allowing the regime to commodify human beings. Reports of forced organ harvesting, long dismissed as fringe, have re-emerged as evidence and survivor testimonies continue to surface. Many now believe the case of Yu Menglong reveals once again how little a single life matters under the CCP’s rule.
Under Jiang Zemin, the regime began one of its most horrific crimes: the live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners for profit. When practitioners’ organs were no longer sufficient to supply demand, the machinery of death expanded to include other detainees and vulnerable groups across China.

In Yu Menglong’s case, the same patterns of suppression, denial, and cover-up appear to repeat themselves. The CCP, rather than halting abuses, merely seeks to extinguish public outrage. As Jiang once boasted about eradicating Falun Gong in “three months,” today’s Party leaders act as if money and control can still bury every crime.
A nation without safety or rights
From corrupt officials silencing journalists to parents punished for speaking up about defective school uniforms, injustice has become routine. Reporters who expose food scandals are beaten or killed; earthquake donations vanish into luxury goods for officials.
Millions of Chinese people endure suffocating pressure from unaffordable housing, education, and healthcare. Citizens have been reduced to “chives”—a population harvested for the Party’s benefit, cut down again and again for its gain.
When one’s birth date, blood type, or even health condition can determine whether one becomes a “living organ source” for the privileged, no one is safe. The fate of Yu Menglong—and of countless disappeared citizens—reminds many that under the CCP, anyone can vanish without trace.
The author argues that communism itself is not just a political system but a spiritual perversion, rooted in deceit and destruction. From Mao Zedong to today, the CCP has maintained power through labeling and demonization:
Through lies, the Party has systematically inverted good and evil—turning virtue into guilt and conscience into crime.
Organ harvesting and the evidence that refuses to die
At the 2025 International Religious Freedom Summit (IRF Summit), a survivor named Cheng Peiming shared her firsthand experience of being targeted for organ harvesting. Her testimony echoed warnings first exposed by Falun Gong practitioners in 2006, when a Chinese military doctor revealed that at least 36 camps similar to the Sujiatun facility in Shenyang were operating nationwide.
These revelations pointed to a state-run, military-backed network where hospitals and prisons collaborate in an industrial-scale trade of human organs.
For nearly two decades, Falun Gong practitioners around the world have sought to awaken public conscience to this atrocity. Some Chinese people, recognizing the truth, have renounced the Party; others remain silent, numbed by fear or disbelief.
The moral collapse of a nation begins when people accept lies as normal. By ignoring evil, citizens become its accomplices. The expansion of forced organ harvesting—from persecuted minorities to the general public—shows that indifference protects only tyranny, never the innocent.
When millions vanish each year, the question is no longer if these crimes happen, but how much longer society will pretend not to know.
We are not lambs to be slaughtered. To seek truth, speak truth, and act with conscience is the beginning of freedom.
