So the internet’s been in a bit of a spin lately thanks to a few dodgy short clips flying about claiming that Chinese superstar Yang Mi was in some sort of nasty car crash — even trying to tie it to that whole Alan Yu Menglong situation.
But nah, after a bit of digging, turns out it’s all nonsense.
Tonboriday did the legwork, and what we found’s proper telling.

| Yang Mi “Car Accident” Videos Debunked – Just Movie Scenes and Old Rumours Recycled |
Two Random Shorts, Same Old Drama
First off, there’s a 10-second YouTube short that popped up about two weeks back on an English-language channel — it’s clocked over 600k views and nearly 900 comments, mostly folk jumping to wild conclusions.
Then there’s another 5-second clip, this time from a YouTube channel, showing a burning yellow car and a photo of Yang Mi wearing an oxygen mask.
The thumbnail shouts: “Shocking Incident: Yang Mi’s Car Caught Fire,” while the caption goes off about Yu Menglong and some curse theory.
Classic clickbait, that.
Old Film Photos Recycled for Views
Thing is, the so-called “accident photo” was from her 2015 film The Witness (我是证人), where Yang Mi played a blind girl caught in a crash.
She actually posted bruised-up selfies back then for promo — proper in-character stuff, nothing real.
The movie’s about a witness surviving a wreck and uncovering the truth behind it.
Folk have just dragged those pics out again for attention.
The 2023 Crew Driver Case Misused
Then there’s another bit people keep twisting — a crew driver’s medical accident from 2023 during the filming of Nothing Can’t Be Undone by a Hotpot (没有一顿火锅解决不了的事).
The poor fella, Wang Baoling, had a brain haemorrhage on set.
His family said he’d been overworked and underpaid.
That was a labour dispute with the production unit — nothing to do with Yang Mi herself, who wasn’t liable in any legal sense.
But some folks mashed that story together with the fake car-fire video to make it sound juicy.
No Curse, No Crash – Just Yang Mi Working as Usual
As for those daft rumours linking Yang Mi and Yu Menglong, they’ve been circling for months.
Some netizens reckon she’d invited him a few times to her agency — that’s it.
There’s absolutely no proof tying her to his case, let alone some superstitious “bad luck” talk.
Meanwhile, Yang Mi’s alive, thriving, and looking boss.
On 26 October 2025, she was spotted at VOGUE China’s 20th Anniversary Gala in Shanghai’s Bund, and later that day she turned up at a promo gig for Honor of Kings, sharing a cheeky laugh with actor Shen Teng — that clip even went viral.
Two days later she popped up again at ELLE’s event, all smiles and zero bandages.
Final Word
So yeah — those clips of a burning car and Yang Mi gasping for air? Pure fakery.
Just a mash-up of old movie promo shots, random accident footage, and baseless gossip about Yu Menglong.
Don’t buy into the drama — she’s fine, working, and probably having a laugh at all this madness.
TL;DR: The so-called “Yang Mi car crash” is just another clickbait hoax. No accident, no curse — just the internet doing what it does best: getting carried away.
