| Mystery Around Yu Menglong’s Passing Deepens as Sun Lin Shares Concerns |
Chinese entertainment has been rocked this month not only by the sudden loss of actor Alan Yu Menglong, but also by the fallout surrounding actress Sun Lin, who has found herself at the centre of public concern after daring to question the circumstances of his death.
Yu Menglong, widely known for his roles in romance and costume dramas, reportedly died after falling from a building on 11 September at just 37 years old.
The official statement labelled the incident an accident, ruling out criminal suspicion after inspections and forensic checks.
Yet, speculation has refused to die down.
Clips and audio files rumoured to be linked to the tragedy briefly circulated online before being swiftly scrubbed, fuelling doubts among fans who feel the truth may not have been fully disclosed.

On the day of Alan Yu’s passing, Sun Lin posted a simple but emotional message: “Rest easy, none of us will forget you.”
A few days later, she followed up with: “Your fans will fight for justice. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.”

Her words struck a chord with many netizens, but also appeared to place her in an uncomfortable spotlight.
By mid-September, Sun Lin hinted she had heard of “some clues” and reassured fans she was safe, though her posts began disappearing under claims of “violating content rules.”
Sun Lin then revealed she had received anonymous warning messages urging her to stop talking about Yu Menglong’s death.
Matters escalated when, on 19 September, she was injured by a falling flowerpot while collecting a package.
The blow sent her to hospital for treatment.

Two days later, she returned to social media to calm worried fans, writing: “I’m feeling much better today, so I wanted to explain this to avoid causing panic. Thank you for caring.”
Yet, she added a detail that unsettled many: she lives alone. Followers interpreted it as a quiet plea for help, and hashtags demanding her safety quickly trended across platforms.
The combination of Yu Menglong’s sudden passing, the mysterious deletion of online posts, and Sun Lin’s situation has created a storm of debate.
Many are urging authorities and industry figures to ensure her wellbeing, while fans continue to push for clarity about what truly happened to Alan Yu.
For now, Sun Lin has chosen to remain visible online, but with her posts closely watched and the weight of thousands of fans behind her, her story has become just as symbolic as the questions surrounding Yu Menglong’s final moments.
