Fan Shiqi has finally gone public with official paperwork after months of online suspicion tied to the unresolved Alan Yu Menglong tragedy, and the internet is still arguing louder than ever.
On 23 April, the actor’s studio released a police-issued document stating he has no record of unlawful offences from his birth on 23 March 1992 through to 19 April 2026.
In short: a formal attempt to shut the noise down. Whether the crowd accepts it is another story entirely.
The controversy has followed him since Yu Menglong died after falling from a building in September 2025, a case that continues to spark debate online due to unanswered questions.

Fans of the late actor have repeatedly called for clarity, while rumours and theories have moved faster than facts ever could.
Things escalated when an audio clip allegedly linked to the incident spread across social media.
Some users claimed one of the voices sounded like Fan Shiqi, despite no verified proof confirming that claim.
That was enough for online detectives to clock in for overtime, and his name was dragged straight into the centre of the storm.
At one point, the actor made matters worse for himself with an emotional Weibo post that appeared to sarcastically admit involvement.
The post was deleted quickly, but as usual, screenshots live forever.
Once those images started circulating, many netizens treated them as evidence rather than what others saw as a breakdown under pressure. The internet, once again, chose chaos.
According to his studio, the latest certificate proves he has remained clear of any criminal record.
They also issued a strongly worded statement saying false claims, defamation and harmful rumours have crossed legal lines.
The message was blunt: stop spreading unverified content, remove false posts, or prepare for legal consequences. No compromise, no quiet settlement, no polite tea meeting.

A law firm has now reportedly been authorised to handle the matter, while Fan Shiqi says he intends to focus on work and let future projects speak for him.
That sounds neat on paper, though in entertainment circles, reputations rarely recover overnight. One document can clear records, but it cannot instantly clear public doubt.

| Did Fan Shiqi Clear His Name? Police Certificate Sparks Debate Online |
Reaction online has been sharply divided. Supporters say the actor should never have been judged by rumours in the first place and argue that months of backlash damaged his career unfairly.
Others remain sceptical, asking why it took seven months for the certificate to appear if the answer was always so simple. Some called the timing smart damage control, while others called it too late.
There is also talk that the prolonged scandal has already cost him heavily. Reports claim projects linked to him faced backlash, some appearances were reconsidered, and ticket sales around events lost momentum.
Fair or unfair, online storms often hit first and ask questions later.
The bigger issue, however, remains the unresolved questions surrounding Yu Menglong. Until clearer answers emerge, public attention is unlikely to disappear.
For now, Fan Shiqi has played his strongest card: official documentation and legal action. But is that enough to change minds, or has the internet already written its own ending?
