London Memorial Bench for Yu Menglong: Fans Break Down in Tears

On the bench by the temps in London, the bouquet of flowers has not yet withered. And in front of cameras in China, a face so gone it's almost unrecognizable is once again showing viewers what it means to risk your life for a role. On one side, fans worldwide are lighting a spark for Yu Ming Long. From the UK and France to Australia, more than 700,000 people have signed their names as if shouting into the darkness, "We have not forgotten him." At the same time, five relationship charts have pulled back the curtain on a skyreaching capital network behind the case. On the other side, there is Chin Shao. After divorce, drastic weight loss, and changing the background image of his Yangua that had been there for 11 years, he shoved himself into a filming hell like Ninga, using a 15 gene weight loss to turn the cracks in his life into blades for his character. One is a soul held back by the truth. The other is a man reborn through his roles. Two seemingly unrelated fates are both reminding us of the same thing. Behind the glamorous surface of the entertainment industry, some people are pushed to sink into the deep sea while others slash their way back to the surface with blood. Today, we'll start from that memorial bench in London and from that shocking gaunt face of Chin Sha. Don't miss the next drop. Subscribe and hit the bell. A global relay of love, flowers blooming everywhere. Recently, a netison in Victoria Embankment Gardens in London, UK, took a photo. A new bench has been set up there, specifically in memory of Yum, Ming Long. Someone has already placed flowers on the bench. Even more moving is the text on the plaque. In English, it reads, "A talented, helpful, and passionate artist who inspired countless people." And do you know it said that right next to this bench is a memorial bench for Khalil Fong. Khalil Fong is a US-born Hong Kong singer, songwriter, and music producer. In 2008, he won the Gold Award for male singer at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards presentation, making him the youngest male singer ever to receive that prize. He also won the Golden Melody Award for best Mandarin male singer in Taiwan. He passed away this year on February 21st at the age of 41. Some netizens said, "The two of them being in the same park, they must be very happy together there." Seeing this, it really makes people break down in tears in an instant. This memorial event is actually global. Besides the UK, fans in France and Australia are also taking action. In Paris, France, the fundraising has gone very smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, by March next year, 2026, everyone will be able to see a memorial inscription for Yang Long on a bench in the tiller's garden next to the Louv. Fans in Sydney, Australia, are not idle either. They're preparing to place a memorial bench in the Royal Botanic Garden right next to the Sydney Opera House. It's said that donations have already exceeded 11,000 Australian dollars. Some fans have even called for a memorial to be built in Iceland because that was one of Yumong's wishes when he was alive. And in Taiwan, fans have paid out of their own pockets to put up large billboards to show their support. What does all this show? It shows that justice lives in people's hearts. In the 70 plus days since Yumang Long left us, more than 700,000 people worldwide have signed a petition on Avas demanding justice for him and calling for a comprehensive, independent, and transparent investigation. These 700,000 signatures are 700,000 hearts unwilling to compromise. Five relationship charts revealing the abyss behind it. All right, we've finished talking about the warm and emotional part. Now, we need to get a bit more hardcore. This is also the main focus of today's video. Although the authorities hurriedly closed the case back in September, calling it an alcohol-related accident and ruling out criminal suspicion, the wave of doubt online has never stopped. Especially recently, the hostly Dau from the YouTube channel Dou's Crash Case publicly released five extremely complex relationship charts. These charts are not simple gossip. They attempt to use publicly available business information to piece together a potentially huge dark capital web behind the Yuming Long case. There's a lot of information here, so sit tight. We'll unpack it one chart at a time. Chart one, where did the money come from and where did it go? This first chart mainly reveals the flow of funds. Leau points out that in the past, the Beijing municipal government invested money into a company called Shihai. Then that money flowed into companies related to Jiguang Wuang. And that's not even the most horrifying part. The chart also shows that funds related to the belt and road initiative are suspected of being connected to telecom fraud groups in Southeast Asia. Here a key term appears. Asia-Pacific New City. This place is in Mayawadi, Myanmar. Anyone who follows Southeast Asian news even a little knows exactly what that place implies. The analysis suggests that this Asia-Pacific new city may even be linked to projects involving the municipal government of Xan. In other words, this chart is trying to tell us that some seemingly official funds may after passing through layer upon layer of transfers ultimately end up entangled with gray or even black industries. Chart two, the entanglement between the entertainment industry and Prince Group. The second chart directly connects the entertainment industry to the notorious Prince Group in Cambodia. The analysis shows that the Prince Group has close financial dealings with government finance systems in many regions of China. Then through complex capital operations, this line stretches to Hunan Broadcasting System, Mango Excellent Media, and Tanu Media. Pay attention to these names. Don't they sound familiar? Yum. Ming Long, when he was alive, was an artist under Tianu Media. This chart also includes specific names such as Fongley and Tion Herang who are said to lie within the Prince Group's indirect relationship network. This inevitably raises the question behind the glamorous facade of the film and television industry. Is there another invisible hand manipulating everything? Chart three, medical, beauty, and micro vesicles. This third chart might be the creepiest one. It focuses on a company called Umearin International Group which promotes so-called microvesicle beauty treatments. Following this line downward, it turns out that Umearin is part of the same business system as Dalian Shura related to actress Tion Herang. And on this corporate tree, there is also Dalian Medical University's biological plastination company. When you hear biological plastination and Dalian together, many anti-CCCP friends might get a chill in their hearts. And that's still not all. The chart also draws in the second Shangya Hospital of Central South University. This hospital has been involved in controversial reports internationally, including organ related topics that foreign media have covered extensively. You can look that up yourself. I won't go into detail here to avoid the video being yellow tagged. But the logical chain implied by this chart is beauty, medicine, and even darker organ trade may all be connected by some common interest links. Chart four, the circle of friends of people involved in the case. The fourth chart points more specifically to individuals involved in this case. It shows that in the shareholding structure of Mango Excellent Media, the National Social Security Fund appears in the background. Through Mango, the line extends to a company called Deep Blue Film and TV. And along this line, the names of several people constantly mentioned in relation to the Yumang Wong case appear. Zhao Pin, Du Chang, and Wu Yao. Chart five, a spiderweb leading all the way to the top. The final chart summarizes all the threads from the previous four from the parent company of Mango Excellent Media, Hunan Broadcasting System. Tracing downward, you find Tanu Media. Yu Mang Long and Fan Shi-Chi were both artists there. Then people associated with Tanu such as Yuan Xiwin, Yuan Xio and Kaija are also drawn into the web. The analysis indicates that companies tied to Caill Jiao are connected to individuals like Jaguang Wuang, Shitowo and Jiao Mai. Most crucially, Beijing site international property associated with Juang Wuang is said to have indirect connections to the Beijing municipal government underQi's tenure and to Chihai group. Lee Dau bluntly states that if you look at the roots of these tangled relationship networks, many of the investors ultimately trace back to the Chinese Communist Party's government. Some even directly or indirectly connect to Xi Jinpings close ally Kai Chi. To briefly sum up these five charts, this is not just a celebrity's accidental death. In Leau's analysis, this is a vast dark network spanning film and television, medicine, beauty, state-owned enterprises, and even stretching into Southeast Asian telecom fraud and organ trafficking. Official coldness versus public anger. Faced with so many suspicious points, what is the attitude of the authorities? All along, the Chinese police have stuck to their September conclusion. An accidental fall after drinking. No criminal case involved. Not only that, they've started arresting people. But the ones being arrested are not suspects. They're netizens. According to reports, three nizens were detained for posting claims that Yumang Long was set up and assaulted, hung from a high-rise, or involved in organ related issues on the grounds of fabricating and spreading rumors. But can arrest silence public opinion? Obviously not. Online, there's footage circulating which appears to show you Ming Long being slapped by his agent Duchang while he was alive, making countless people furious. Rumors about a 17p person banquet and about confinement and extreme mistreatment are still spreading wildly on the internet. Many netizens commented, "We will remember him forever. As long as the Mangong case is not solved, our voices will never be silenced." Others said, "Ming Mang, rest well." Now it's our turn to stand up and seek justice. This is public sentiment right now. The wind by the temps in London is blowing over that bouquet commemorating him. Meanwhile, deep in the internet, the digging for truth continues. Those five relationship charts may not be the final verdict, but they offer a new perspective under this vast web. How many lives are still being covered up? How many more dark secrets are hidden? Gaunt and unrecognizable heartbreak or self- torment? What we just talked about is very heavy, but it had to be said. Next, let's turn our eyes back to the Chinese entertainment scene and talk about another male star who has recently been at the center of public discussion. Chin Xiao. If you story breaks our hearts, then Chin Xiaos recent condition at first makes people alarmed. But after learning the truth, you'll feel this guy is truly ruthless toward himself. A few days ago, Chin Xiao made a rare public appearance at the launch event for his new drama, The Great Businessman. The moment the photos came out, the entire internet exploded. Look at this photo. Is this still the ancient costume male god we remember? His cheeks are sunken, cheekbones protruding, his whole face so thin he's almost unrecognizable. Some netizens even said he looks like he aged overnight from 38 to 48 with no light left in his eyes. What's everyone's first reaction? Probably the same as mine. Post divorce after effects. Everyone knows he and Chiny officially announced their divorce this February, ending a 9-year marriage. Compared with Chinshi, who's been going to concerts and posting pretty photos, Chin Xiao has been very low profile. So, when he appeared like this, people naturally speculated, "Was the blow too big? Is he still heartbroken?" But it turns out we were overthinking it. This isn't a deserted husband collapsing. It's an actor tormenting for his craft. His studios response was very straightforward. The weight losses for the role for the great businessman. Chinsha forcibly dropped 15 gene. If you've seen the character setting in the drama, you'll understand why he went this far. Ningoda's hellish survival, not just acting. The drama is called The Great Businessman. The title sounds like a cool commercial story, but the opening is pure hell mode. Chin Xiao plays a character named Guu Ping Yuan, a lateQQing Dynasty scholar who's framed in exile to Ningoda. Let me explain. Ningura isn't a tower. It's a border stronghold of theQing dynasty located in what is now Hong Jiang. Back then, it was a real hell on earth. There's a saying in old texts, once you reach Ninga, you won't even fear 10 trips to the underworld. Exiled prisoners had to travel on foot wearing shackles for 4 months to get there. Many froze to death, starved to death, or were eaten by tigers and bears on the way. This drama goes allin, recreating that chaotic, brutal, and primitive environment. Chenos character, Guinguan, has to confront people on a frozen river atus 20° C right from the start. To show a person who is long-term malnourished, living in harsh conditions, yet still sharp enough to carve out a bloody path in desperate circumstances, he had to be thin, razor thin. Director Jean Ting said that when he finished writing the script, he only had one name in his mind, Chin Xiao, with no backup candidate. Facts have proved he chose right. The drama was basically air dropped on TV with almost zero pre-launch promotion. Yet, just 27 minutes into its first broadcast, ratings had already broken 3%. In this day and age, if you can keep viewers from changing the channel, it's definitely not just because of a handsome face. It's because of the acting. An 11-year late cut, The Secret Behind a Background Image. Besides the show itself, there's another recent move from Chin Sha that I think is especially telling. Right before the new drama aired, Sharpeyed Netzens noticed that he finally changed the Weibo background image he had used for 11 years. Old fans all know what that picture was. It was a drawing he did himself of Yonga, his character from the Condor Heroes. That wasn't just his most iconic role. It was also the drama where he and Chinyenshi fell in love. It was a symbol of their relationship. He didn't change that image when divorce rumors were raging. He didn't change it when the two of them publicly announced their divorce and went their separate ways. But now he changed it. He switched it to a still from the new drama showing Guinguan galloping on horseback. One comment online put it perfectly. This shows his determination to cut ties with the past. After everything that happened in his marriage, he didn't choose to publicly tear things apart in the arena of public opinion. Instead, he quietly told everyone through a change of background image and a new character, the era of Yongu is over. Now it's the era of Guing Yuan. That boy who once drew pictures has grown up into a man who must fight his way through the hellscape of business warfare. Princess Shiao and the Chin Sha squad. Although today's topics are heavy, let's end this part on a lighter note. With the premiere of this new drama, half of the entertainment circle seems to have come out to support him. Yuing, the producer who helped make him famous, publicly cheered him on, saying he hopes Chin Sha will soar into the sky. The funniest one is Sunley. Everyone knows they worked together on Nothing Gold Can Stay. Sunley posted supporting Princess Xiao, the great businessman. So, what's with Princess Shiao? It turns out that when they were filming, there was a scene where they had to run away. Chin Sha ran only a couple of steps before sitting on the ground, clutching his chest and saying he couldn't breathe. In a dancing scene, after just one spin, he fainted. Suddenly, teased him, saying he was as delicate as a princess. This playful nickname between friends also indirectly shows that Shinsha really goes allin when filming. His physical constitution might not be the strongest, but he's willing to push himself for his roles. This time to play Chin Huang in his next drama, Chin Mystery, he has continued dieting and growing out his hair, playing the first emperor from youth to old age. Ending a ruthless man who speaks with his work. Honestly, in today's traffic obsessed era, someone like Chin Sha, who doesn't milk his divorce for sympathy, doesn't hype his weight loss for clout, and just smashes the audience with his performances, is pretty rare. He shows us that a man's transformation doesn't need long emotional essays on social media. It only takes changing a background image and delivering a role that can stand on its own. All right, that's all for today. From the unresolved mystery of Yuming Long to the comeback and rebirth of Chin Xiao, the joys and sorrows of the entertainment industry often hide real lives we cannot see. What do you think about the Yumang Long case? Or have you watched Chin Xiaos new drama yet? Feel free to tell me in the comments.
