| Global Spotlight Turns to Yu Menglong’s Death as Petition Goes Viral |
It’s been two weeks since Chinese actor Alan Yu Menglong tragically fell to his death, but the internet storm around his passing hasn’t slowed down one bit.
Far from fading, suspicions about what really happened are growing louder, and now fans have taken matters into their own hands with a public petition.
The campaign, titled “No Longer Hidden,” has already gathered nearly 29,000 signatures (28,953 at the latest count).
Its organisers say the goal is simple: demand truth, demand accountability, and make sure Yu Menglong’s family aren’t left to grieve in silence.
On its official site, the petition expresses deep grief and anger, pointing to what many call “troubling irregularities” in the case.

| Fans Push for Independent Probe as Yu Menglong Petition Nears 30k Signatures |
A newly circulated video clip – alleged to contain Yu Menglong’s cries in distress – has only poured fuel on speculation that his death might not have been a mere accident.
While police in Beijing have already moved against online rumour-mongers, arresting and prosecuting three netizens for fabricating false claims, that hasn’t done much to cool the public’s suspicions.
Instead, the petition has amplified calls for an independent, transparent investigation to restore justice.
The petition sets out three clear points:
-
Launch a comprehensive and independent inquiry into Yu Menglong’s death.
-
If wrongdoing is uncovered, ensure severe prosecution of those responsible.
-
Issue a public apology and provide full legal and psychological support for the actor’s family.
Supporters are also going beyond China.
Netizens have appealed to international watchdogs like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, asking them to keep a closer eye on issues in the entertainment industry – from basic life safety and personal freedom to safeguarding against harassment.
Their hope?
That outside pressure will finally push for reforms in an industry where questions of safety and accountability often get swept under the rug.
For now, the petition continues to gather momentum online – a digital reminder that for Yu Menglong’s fans, this fight is about far more than one man’s death.
It’s about forcing answers, accountability, and perhaps a bit of long-overdue change.
