The heartbreaking recording of Yu Menglong has shocked social media, unveiling dark secrets
about a life filled with suffering.
At the same time, Dilraba Dilmerat was unexpectedly abandoned by her management company in a war
zone in the Middle East, and the underlying reasons behind this are now rapidly spreading
online.
In honor of Yu Menglong, the online community in mainland China has come up with bizarre
ways that bring people to tears.
Meanwhile, how have villains like Fan Shiqi been harshly boycotted by netizens?
Let's find out in today's program.
A Heart-Wrenching Recording
Recently, a recording believed to be from Yu Menglong during his life has gone viral
online, showing the extreme mistreatment he endured.
The recording is very brief, yet it holds an immense amount of information.
In it, you can hear a male voice crying out, full of helplessness and unbearable pain.
He seems to be saying, I'm suffering so much, you're operating like this.
Before this, there had been rumors online that Yu Menglong had been oppressed for a
long time because he refused to comply with the unspoken rules of the powerful capitalists.
There were even rumors that he had evidence of their money laundering activities, which
he kept on a USB drive.
In the final moments of danger, to protect the evidence, he swallowed the USB.
This is why the word operation appeared in these rumors.
After the incident, Fan Shiqi's actions of rubbing his stomach on stage during a music
performance made many believe it was an unconscious reflex from being involved in the crime.
Some netizens said,
Just hearing his voice makes me shiver in fear, anger boiling to the point of trembling.
I can't even imagine what hellish scene it must have been.
Looking back now, Yu Menglong had actually sent out a distress signal long before, but
at the time, we all thought it was just a form of artistic expression.
After Yu Menglong's passing, people started re-watching his past performances and were
shocked to realize that he had often changed the lyrics of his songs or used hand gestures
to call for help.
Recently, netizens dug up a video where he covered the theme song Meeting from the movie
Left or Right.
Everyone knows the original lyrics include,
The future cannot be arranged because of this.
However, when Yu Menglong sang it, he changed the line to,
The future absolutely cannot follow this arrangement.
He was unwilling to let fate decide for him.
Or more accurately, he wasn't willing to be controlled by the invisible dark forces
behind the scenes.
The last line of the song is,
One day the mystery of me will be unraveled.
Listening to it now, it almost feels like his last words, his prophecy.
On another occasion while singing an English psalm, he altered the lyrics to,
There's no truth.
No one truly cares about me.
Life is so dark and brutal.
I'm done with this show.
This was no longer the song's original lyrics.
It was clearly his final desperate scream, pouring out from that dark abyss.
Unfortunately, no one understood at the time.
Ways to remember him that pierced through the suppression.
Although official efforts have been made to erase all traces of him,
the hearts of the people cannot be locked away.
After Iceland, the UK, France, Australia, and
others, Indonesia has also established a Yu Menglong memorial tree.
Recently, a memorial bench for Yu Menglong also appeared in Beijing.
The location of this bench is quite special.
It is situated near the Yangguang Shandong area,
where Yu Menglong encountered his troubles, in the Beixia Park in Beijing.
Photos show that this is the very bench he used to sit on when he was alive.
Unlike memorial benches abroad, it does not have a bronze plaque or nameplate,
as such things could cause the bench to disappear the next day within the country.
But this doesn't stop people from visiting to place flowers, food, and drinks.
In addition to the bench,
there is also a person who raised a flag with his image at the top of a mountain,
a view that Yu Menglong never had the chance to see.
Even at Wanda Plaza, Yuhu, and
several other shopping centers in different cities,
his image suddenly appeared on large screens.
Who was behind this?
It was ordinary people who refused to let him be forgotten.
Recently, a 36-year-old food blogger from Guangdong
opened a bakery called Meng Meng Bakery.
This blogger shared that he had loved baking for
ten years, but had never had the courage to pursue it as a career.
It was Yu Menglong who gave him the confidence and strength to move forward.
From now on, he wants to bake alongside Yu Menglong.
The bakery's business card features the phrase,
thanks to his favor, I feel incredibly happy, a play on the name Menglong.
On the left side of the business card, there's a cute cartoon image of Yu
Menglong holding a cake with the quote that once touched millions of hearts.
Born as a human, live toward the sun.
All the breads and
cakes in the bakery are accompanied by cartoon images of Yu Menglong.
Films by Zhang Yimou also boycotted.
The more netizens love Yu Menglong, the more they hate the suspects involved.
Recently, Taiwan's Weili Theater Network planned to air the drama
A 2020 series featuring Fan Shiqi on March 9th.
As soon as the news broke, Yu Menglong's fans in Taiwan strongly opposed it.
They protested and
sent emails to the television network demanding an intense boycott.
In the end, netizens were both surprised and
delighted to see the network change its broadcast schedule.
The film, originally scheduled to air from 10 PM to midnight on March 9th,
was urgently pulled, replaced by another film.
On the mainland, the power of the boycott is also making an impact.
The peak of this came on January 23rd of this year,
when a formal event called the Chinese Good People Rankings
was held in Yixin, Sichuan.
The organizers had invited Fan Shiqi as a guest, and
he even participated in a rehearsal on the 22nd.
However, as soon as the news leaked, live stream platforms and
social media were flooded with angry netizens who terrorized the screens.
The comments were harsh, directly confronting the organizers.
Don't insult the words, good person.
Throw the murderer off the stage.
Faced with overwhelming public pressure,
the organizers were forced to ask Fan Shiqi to leave the event.
This incident brought great satisfaction to netizens.
Additionally, the Chinese New Year movie season this year was rather dull.
But there was one film that gained significant heat,
though it only became popular due to the backlash.
That film is The Hidden Blade, directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Yi Yang Qianxi.
This film has quite the pedigree.
The poster proudly states, directed by the National Security Bureau,
claiming it is the first film in Chinese cinema history
to be directly overseen by the National Security Bureau,
adapted from a true espionage case.
Logically, with the national master Zhang Yimou, a top star and official backing,
the box office should have been guaranteed, right?
However, as soon as advance tickets went on sale, it was immediately crushed.
Audiences didn't buy tickets.
At this point, the distributors panicked and resorted to underhanded tactics,
leading a group of theaters in Shaanxi,
including 390 people in charge of the theater system, to boycott the film.
Why?
The theater management said they had already allocated 23% of the showtimes,
which was quite high,
but the distributors complained it wasn't enough and demanded more.
They threatened not to release the film's key,
the authorization to screen the film, unless the showtimes were increased.
They even pulled the ticketing system.
Some theaters that refused to increase showtimes had their ticketing systems cut,
making it impossible to issue tickets for those already sold,
forcing them to refund customers.
Industry insiders said this was a form of stifling pressure.
The film's distributors treated the theaters as subordinates and the audience as expendable.
They assumed that with the power of official backing,
they could force people to watch whatever they wanted.
But this time, the theaters and the audience stood their ground.
A post titled, I am just an ordinary person,
I refuse to watch The Hidden Blade exploded online.
Audiences are no longer the fools who blindly buy tickets
just because a famous director's name is attached to a film.
Dilraba Dilmurat, when even top stars are just pawns.
The tragedy of Yu Menglong reveals the bloodthirstiness of Capital
and the power behind the entertainment industry.
But do you think only lesser artists who offend the elites are trampled on?
Think again.
In the eyes of Capital, even top-tier stars, A-listers, are just disposable tools,
easily discarded whenever necessary.
Take the recent incident involving Dilraba Dilmurat being stranded in Dubai,
which has been making waves over the past two days.
Dilraba is undoubtedly one of the top actresses in mainland China.
She was originally invited to attend the Fall-Winter 2026 Dior show during Paris Fashion Week.
However, on March 3rd, her agency unexpectedly issued a statement saying that due to force majeure,
Dilraba could not make it to Paris and would be absent from the event.
The agency reassured her fans that the artist and her team were still together,
taking care of each other, and asked everyone not to worry.
While this may sound like an unfortunate, unforeseen accident,
fans quickly realized there was more to the story.
In fact, news of Dilraba being stranded in Dubai was first revealed by a user on Dubon
on February 28th, nearly three days before the official announcement.
What happened on February 28th?
That day, the U.S. and Israel launched an airstrike on Iran,
and Iran immediately retaliated by targeting U.S. military facilities in Gulf countries.
Dubai, the largest commercial city in the UAE,
went from a luxurious paradise to a war zone almost overnight.
Flights at the airport were chaotic and completely suspended.
Dilraba was forced to stay in the danger zone, vulnerable to attack for more than 24 hours.
What infuriated and confused fans the most was this.
Clearly, there were direct flights from Shanghai to Paris.
So why did the agency arrange for Dilraba to take such a risky and convoluted transit route?
Even more ridiculous, the agency played the double standard game.
They arranged for Dilraba to transit in Dubai, while team members like her makeup artist and
photographer were booked on direct flights, safely arriving in Paris.
In other words, at a time when bombs were falling, the team flew off ahead,
leaving a public figure, a female artist, to fight alone, in a complicated war zone.
This arrangement angered fans to the core.
They questioned the agency.
Why wasn't a direct flight to Paris booked?
There were travel warnings long before this.
So why was such a risky route arranged?
Was this really just a simple mistake?
An alternative theory circulating online is that Dilraba's management company,
Jiaxing Tianxia, Jaywalk Studio, was founded by Yang Mi.
Dilraba has been under contract with them since her debut in 2013.
The Revenge of Capital, Dilraba Dilmerat, and the Bloody Contract
Ever since senior star Yang Mi announced her departure from Jiaxing,
all attention shifted to whether Dilraba Dilmerat would stay or leave.
This year, rumors circulated that the 13-year contract between Dilraba and Jiaxing
officially expired on February 26, with neither party renewing the agreement.
Many sources suggest that since Yang Mi's departure,
the conflict between the company and Dilraba has deepened,
even being described as having turned from partnership to animosity.
Netizens have collectively decoded the situation, being abandoned.
In the war zone, this time could very well be a petty act of revenge and punishment
from Jiaxing media against Dilraba, coinciding with the expiration of her contract.
Although Jiaxing previously denied rumors of contract termination,
there have been numerous instances of negligence by the agency towards Dilraba,
such as not preparing warm clothing on set during the harsh winter,
an incident where her high heels almost caused an accident on the red carpet,
and even a passport being lost in Japan only for a passerby to find it.
Even a top-tier star, capable of dazzling audiences at the Spring Gala,
and rumored to star in Stephen Chow's new film Women's Football Team,
is still seen as insignificant in the eyes of Capital,
easily discarded and left in a war zone to fend for herself at any moment.
So just how much suffering must someone like Yu Menglong, who had no powerful background
and refused to bow to evil, have endured when faced with the hidden forces of Capital and the elite?
One can only imagine.
Thank you for watching, and we'll see you in the next episode.
