Today I'll take a closer look at Shin Chi, the person whose information was wiped the moment
the scandal broke. How did he manage to control Yu Menglong, starting from when Yu was 25,
and what enabled him to do it? There's also a list of 16 artists who died under unusual
circumstances said to be linked to a large hidden network along with names rumored to be the
perpetrators, as if everything had been planned and assigned in advance. Let's dig into the truth.
How did Shin Chi trap Yu Menglong? After the incident broke out, all information related
to Shin Chi was quickly erased, which made the public even more suspicious about the forces
behind him and his true role. First, it must be emphasized that Shin Chi is gay, and therefore
he paid special attention to Yu Menglong. Shin Chi's real name is said to be Shin Chaoxiong,
born on September 13, 1991. He graduated from Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou.
His ID number, said to be 423211910913018, his hometown allegedly Xi'an in Hubei province,
and even the phone number 139072881594 have circulated online. Internet users claim that
his biological mother is Tian Haiyan, the sister of Tian Hairong. In earlier years, Shin Chi and
Tian Hairong, who was much older than him, often appeared together in public and their relationship
seemed unusual, indirectly reinforcing speculation that the two were close relatives.
As for who Shin Chi's biological father is, it remains a mystery. Several versions circulate,
naming former chairman of the State Grid Corporation of China Xin Bao'an, or Xin Jie,
and even CCP Politburo Standing Committee member Kai Qi. Recently, another clue appeared online,
making the question of Shin Chi's father even more explosive. Shin Chi is said to have undergone
plastic surgery. These are his before and after photos. People often say genes don't lie.
Looking at this supposed childhood photo of Shin Chi, who do you think he resembles? Many internet
users say he looks very similar to Xi Jinping or to Xi's relatives, such as Xi Yuanping.
What puzzles the public is how a seemingly ordinary young man could suddenly gain access
to so many major resources and have a career path specially arranged for him right after
graduation. Who is the power backing him? According to circulating information, by 2011,
at just 20 years old, Shin Chi was already involved in entertainment PR, film planning,
production, and artist management. In 2015, he moved into new media, short videos, and joined
Jia Zhangke's new media company Yishanchuan Media, serving as a senior shareholder,
deputy general manager, and CEO of Shouying. He was believed to be a long-time film industry
partner of director Cheng Qingsong, and his alleged aunt, Tian Hairong, had been a friend
and collaborator of Cheng for over 20 years. It is said that Shin Chi was the actual decision
maker of Tianyu Media Co. Ltd. In 2013, when he was only 22, Shin Chi was said to control 400
million yuan, beginning his journey of predatory dealings and money laundering in the entertainment
industry. He reportedly had 200 shell companies under his name. From 2015 onward, he used the
names of many male and female contestants from the show to register companies in all sorts of fields,
weaponry, fireworks, medical equipment, agriculture, covering every industry to facilitate
money laundering. In 2013, Yu Menglong took part in Superboys for the second time, reached the
But many sources claim that his advancement and signing with Tianyu involved many
man-made arrangements. Yu once said he actually didn't want to join a talent show,
but friends encouraged him. Ironically, his friends didn't go, but he did. He was nervous,
but ended up selected. In reality, a force behind the scenes was manipulating and positioning him,
according to these claims. Yu Menglong had very good looks, but at the time his singing skills
were average. Weak breath support and a voice that wasn't very strong. In Superboys 2013,
he entered the national top 10 thanks to the revival round. Strangely, that was the only
season of Superboys that ever had such a revival round. It is said online that Shin Chi had already
taken notice of him and arranged for him to enter the competition. In the event footage,
Shin Chi even disguised himself as one of Yu's fans, appearing on site to cheer for him.
On July 31, 2013, during the first of the top 20 to top 10 live shows, online rumors began spreading.
The handsome Yu Menglong entering the next round was highly controversial.
A former roommate who had competed in Superboys 2010 exposed him online,
calling him effeminate and kept. Although many friends defended him, a simple,
straightforward young man like Yu was pushed into a fabricated scandal,
step by step falling into Shin Chi's trap. Some people revealed that in order to sign Yu,
Tianyu deliberately released defamatory rumors about him first, and then approached him saying
they could use their vast resources to suppress the negative news. With no backing and unaware
of the industry's hidden dangers, Yu perhaps signed with Tianyu for this reason.
Some claim the smear campaign during Superboys 2013 was orchestrated by Shin Chi and Tianyu.
First smear him, then appear before him pretending to be saviors,
and then lead him into signing the contract. At that time, Shin Chi was only 22. In recent years,
after entering what the text calls the field of power, Yu Menglong gradually realized he was in
a dangerous situation. In a variety show, when asked, what is the most rebellious thing you've
ever done, he replied, joining the singing competition. Netizens believe he deeply
regretted entering that pit. Someone said that after Yu ran into trouble, his mother rushed to
Beijing. Upon arriving, she collapsed and cried loudly, I told you not to sing, but you didn't
listen. The account pained many readers, who believed his mother had long feared he would
encounter danger. Online rumors claim that to control Yu, Shin Chi resorted to every means
possible, even establishing two studios under Yu's name to launder money and conduct illegal
transactions. Even the contract with Tianyu Media was filled with unreasonable clauses.
Some netizens pointed out that someone 22 years old, freshly graduated, already knew how to
manipulate and control the psychology of everyone around him. First, he made the victim feel they
advanced through their own efforts. Then he extended Tianyu's olive branch and the resources
of various tax evading companies, making the victim feel grateful and believe this was a
future worth entrusting to. When everything was later exposed, the victim would realize both sides
were grasshoppers on the same rope, with no way out, ultimately becoming a sacrificial pawn to
A massive dark network? A leaked death list? According to a photo sent to commentator Li
Muyang, a sheet of paper lists many artists' names and dates on the left, and another set

At the moment, we still don't know this person's true identity. His Weibo profile picture shows a
young man posing in front of the gate of the Beijing Film Academy. In the early hours of April
17 this year, he posted a strange Weibo message, with the IP location showing Heilongjiang.
The post read,
Me Jie, I have to go. Being able to know you in this lifetime makes me so happy I can't put it
into words. Me Jie, I wish you joy every day in Los Angeles, USA. Me Jie, I hope your family and
children stay healthy and blessed. It continued,
Me Jie, among the six of us, you are the best and also the happiest. Brother Bian Jie, brother
Shan Yubo, sister Bai Jing, your younger brother Feng Yom, that's me, and our younger sister Wang
Jiexi. The five of us have never been as lucky as you. A few minutes later, he left another
comment under the late host Bian Jie's Weibo. Brother Bian Jie, I'll come down soon to keep
you company. I'll leave this world, a world that was never meant for us. In his post,
he also mentioned a Weibo account with the nickname Li Mi. According to public information,
Li Mi is the Weibo account of Li Mi, a CCTV Movie Channel host and Communication University
graduate. She later married a wealthy American and emigrated abroad. Earlier Weibo interactions
show that Li Mi had previously been in contact with Cheng Qingsong. This makes it likely that
the Me Jie he mentioned refers to this Li Mi. Next, on the right side of the list, next to
the numbers, there are also names, though their meaning is unclear. Below are commentator Li
First is Xiao Hua. In the entertainment circle, many actresses are called Little Flower,
but the most notable is Fan Xici, whose nickname is Fan Xiaohua. Kawashima Yiren,
among the suspects in Yu Menglong's case, is Song Yiren, whom some say has a real name similar to
Shandao Yiren. It's unclear whether Kawashima Yiren refers to the same person. Red Hair,
a very familiar nickname, most likely referring to Cheng Qingsong. Mi Jie should be the same Li
Mi mentioned earlier, who later emigrated to the US. In her mainland days, she and Cheng Qingsong
interacted frequently. The person labeled Chun Tianlei remains unknown. Belly, Duzi Uzi,
is also unclear. It may be a nickname, stage name, or codename. The one called Principal,
according to Li Muyam, this often refers to Hong Kong singer Alan Tam, widely called Principal,
for having trained many newcomers in music. But it's uncertain whether the Principal
in the photo refers to him. Mayor Zhou, likely refers to Zhou Hao.
Online, some Weibo fans jokingly called him Mayor Zhou. He is the founder and CEO of Tong
Pictures and also considered one of the suspects connected to Yu Menglong's case.
So what do the numbers after each name mean? Do they correspond to the numbered list of
artists with unusual deaths on the left side? If this interpretation is correct,
if those numbers match the positions of the artists listed on the left,
then Xiaohua corresponds to 3, 6, 11, 15, which are Bian Che, Qiao Renliang, Ji Dongran,
Yu Menglong. Based on what is known, both Bian Che and Yu Menglong were acquainted with Fan
and were said to have a good relationship. Chuandao Yiren corresponds to 1, 3, 5, meaning
Xiang Yubo, Bian Che, Yu Lu. Online, some accuse Song Yiren of killing Bian Che after killing Yu
Menglong. Whether this accusation is true or whether Chuandao Yiren refers to Song Yiren
is unknown. Redhair corresponds to 1, 3, 6, 11, 12, 13, 15, which are Xiang Yubo, Bian Che,
Ji Dongran, Liu Feng, Lian Yibin, Yu Menglong. Among these, Bian Che, Qiao Renliang, and Yu
Menglong are all said to have deaths connected to Hongmao, referring to Cheng Qingsong,
and were allegedly harassed or abused by him. So could all seven artists linked to these numbers
have had direct ties to Cheng Qingsong? Mijie corresponds to 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, which are Xiang
Yubo, Bai Jing, Bian Che, Wang Jiexi, Feng Yong. Of these five, the first four have already passed
away, and Feng Yong is currently missing. These points have been explained earlier.
Chun Tianlei corresponds to 2 and 5, meaning Bai Jing and Yu Lu. When Yu Lu died, she was
traveling with Zhu Chunlei, chairman of Sanwu Film. Zhu was reportedly injured but not seriously.
Whether Chun Tianlei refers to him is unclear. Du Zibeli corresponds to 6 and 15, meaning Qiao
Renliang and Yu Menglong. Both were signed to Tianyu Media and shared the same manager, Du Chen.
So does Duzi refer to Du Chen? Xiao Zhang, the principal, corresponds to 6, 7, 9, 10,
meaning Qiao Renliang, Ben Xi, Liu Jiarong, Zhao Yingjun. Public sources say Zhao Yingjun first
entered entertainment because he heard Alan Tam, the principal, might attend a talent show in
Shanghai, prompting him to fly there, though he apparently never met him. Whether they had further
contact is unknown. Mayor Zhou, Zhou Shijian, corresponds to 6, 9, 15, meaning Qiao Renliang,
Liu Jiarong, Yu Menglong. Rumors claim Zhou Hao was present when Qiao Renliang was beaten to death
and later sent Liu Jiarong a photo of Qiao's blood-covered hand. Shortly afterward,
Liu disappeared. Zhou Hao's name also appears among the suspects in Yu Menglong's death.
At this point, the implication of the list becomes clearer. Perhaps these deaths had been
planned long in advance and assigned with careful precision. What dark truth might this suggest?
You are invited to reflect on it. Thank you and see you next time.
