| Yu Menglong Case Takes Dark Turn: Beijing Media Executive Faces Threats and “Accidents” After Speaking Out |
The mystery surrounding the late actor Alan Yu Menglong’s sudden death in September has deepened once again after shocking new reports surfaced — this time involving a Beijing media executive allegedly facing intimidation, suspicious “accidents,” and threats for publicly voicing support for the star.
According to multiple verified posts, Qili Li, a manager at a Beijing-based media company, has been openly questioning the official narrative surrounding Alan Yu’s death.
However, her persistence appears to have come at a heavy price.

Threats, Pressure, and Mysterious “Accidents”
On October 6, Qili Li shared screenshots of messages from an anonymous sender claiming to be a “friend and fellow Northeasterner.”
The sender allegedly demanded that she “bow and sign documents”, warning that her name had been added to a “summons list”, seemingly to pressure her to stop discussing the Yu Menglong case online.

Just two weeks later, on October 20, Qili reported that she and several of her employees were involved in two separate road incidents on the same day.
In the morning, her taxi was rammed off course by another vehicle, and that evening, a company car driven by one of her staff was hit by a truck, causing serious injuries — including two broken bones and one hospitalisation.
While both cases were officially dismissed as “traffic accidents” with private settlements, many netizens were quick to notice how “coincidental” the timing seemed.

“What’s Next?” – Qili’s Cryptic Updates
In late October, Qili shared images of her own bandaged arms, writing, “Right arm before, left wrist yesterday — what’s next?” — a post that sent fans and colleagues into a panic.
Then came a new escalation: on October 27, she uploaded photos of a package filled with razor blades, claiming it was delivered to her office.

A week later, on November 4, she revealed even darker messages — threats had reportedly extended to her family and friends, with one anonymous sender sending photos of her child and naming their kindergarten, allegedly demanding a face-to-face meeting.

Public Outcry for Justice
As of November 7, more than 660,000 people have signed an online petition calling for an independent investigation into Yu Menglong’s death.
Despite the mounting public pressure, Beijing authorities have stood firm on their September conclusion, stating Yu died from “an accidental fall while intoxicated, with no criminal suspicion.”
Earlier, police had arrested three netizens accused of spreading unverified claims — such as Yu being “suspended from a high-rise” or that “his mother was controlled” — labelling these as fabricated rumours.
Netizens Divided but Determined
Online discussions have since exploded, with some expressing concern for Qili Li’s safety, while others call for caution and fact-checking.
Still, the dominant sentiment remains one of unease and frustration over the lack of transparency in Yu Menglong’s case.
Many have used hashtags like #JusticeForYuMenglong and #ProtectQiliLi across Chinese social platforms — though some posts have been swiftly deleted.
With new developments surfacing almost weekly, this case continues to expose the fragile intersection between celebrity, public opinion, and media accountability in China’s entertainment industry.
For now, one thing’s clear — the fight for answers surrounding Yu Menglong’s death is far from over, and both fans and insiders are watching closely to see if the silence will finally be broken.
