A Scar on Yu Menglong’s Neck A Political Storm Erupts Is Dilraba’s Health in Crisis

In just the first few days of the new year, the controversy surrounding Yu Menglong suddenly accelerated in a direction no one saw coming. Memorial posts on Bai Jiahao were selectively wiped out, with millions of interactions mysteriously vanishing from a single account. At the same time, images circulating online revealed unusual scars on his body, sparking speculation that there may be a story that has never been fully told. As netizens continued to dig deeper, a mysterious company with a powerful network of shareholders was exposed, uncovering a web of connections that extends far beyond the entertainment industry. Another name that has never lost its heat also comes into question. Is Dilraba Dilmurat safe? Join us as we break it all down in today's program. Yu Menglong Exposed With Multiple Scars A Mysterious Company Uncovered According to Dashiju, on the very first day of the new year, many netizens discovered that on Baidu's Bai Jiahao platform, the virtual flowers users had sent to Yu Menglong's account had been completely wiped out. Other artists were unaffected. He alone appeared to be targeted. Even newly sent flowers failed to show up. This sparked widespread outrage online. A woman from Shanghai directly called Baidu to file a complaint. She said, Her words were firm and pointed. She openly accused senior officials in Beijing handling the Yu Menglong case, even warning, What was the result? After waves of complaints, Baidu Bai Jiahao restored the data. By January 6, the number of flowers sent to Yu Menglong had surpassed 1.45 million. It showed that, in people's hearts, there is still a scale of justice. On threads, some netizens continued to share new clues they had uncovered about Yu Menglong. One development drew particular attention. Someone claimed they had seen a scar on Xiaoyu's neck. Related images were reposted widely on Bilibili. If those images were not edited and were indeed original, the scar does appear quite noticeable. Some netizens even made short videos compiling the possible scars on Yu Menglong's body. They first pointed to his face. On the right side, what looked like the character's sin appeared to be etched. Looking further down, the left cheek also seemed abnormal. As for his neck, from certain angles, there were marks resembling scars. From other angles, they could be explained away as lighting or shadows. But similar signs appeared in other photos as well. Many people speculated that Xiaoyu may have suffered repeated hidden abuse. Why has Yu Menglong faced such misfortune? A new and highly detailed chain of speculation has emerged online, pointing to a specific circle, the so-called Shanxi faction. Some netizens carefully reviewed Yu Menglong's schedule over many years and found unusual patterns. Although he is a public figure, he never truly entered the so-called top-tier resource circle. Yet, between 2018 and 2022, he frequently appeared at events with very specific backgrounds, such as the Silk Road International Film Festival in Xi'an, the program Xi'an Rings Out in the New Era, and various events organized by literary and arts federations. Why are these events considered special? The Silk Road Film Festival has a clear official background and is hosted by Shanxi Province. Yu Menglong is not part of the film industry and has never acted in movies, yet he was invited to perform at the closing ceremony. Netizens speculate that he may have participated in some kind of training program under a director, through which he became acquainted with officials from Shanxi. There is another detail. Held in Xi'an in 2020, Yu Menglong was the only artist to participate. Later, he appeared in commercial promotional activities for Yiqi and Erqi in Jilin Province, at a time when the governor of Jilin was Jing Junhai, who is also from Shanxi. This series of coincidences led netizens to sketch out a network of connections. It should be emphasized that even though Yu Menglong took part in these activities, he never truly made it into the circle. His resources did not increase. Instead, his work opportunities gradually declined. By 2024-2025, he no longer appeared in events organized by literary and arts federations and had shifted instead to participating in CCTV charity programs. So how does this relate to his death? This is where the suddenly unearthed Kanhuan Company comes in. Netizens dissected the company's shareholder structure and bluntly labeled it full of bad actors. The company's legal representative, Chen Chunjiang from Inner Mongolia, previously worked in Tianjin and China's Ministry of Commerce. In 2023, he was transferred to Shanxi and served as a vice governor. Another shareholder, Zhao Xiaoqing, was considered even more alarming. He had served as political commissar of the Shanxi Provincial Anti-Drug Police Corps and as director of the Huainan Public Security Bureau. Netizens have put forward a bold hypothesis. The existence of this company suggests that Shanxi officials or police may have colluded with Beijing police in the Yu Menglong case. The logic goes like this. As some Shanxi officials, such as Yao Likun and Jing Junhai, were successively investigated or disciplined, they may have suspected that Yu Menglong knew sensitive inside information and thus took part in silencing him. What do you think of this hypothesis proposed by netizens? Leave your thoughts in the comments below. Is the case triggering a political maelstrom? On overseas threads, a netizen posted a bombshell message saying, The wheel of fortune is turning. The situation is returning to the right path. Powers are regrouping. Some people are acting openly, while others are quietly pushing things forward behind the scenes. The post also warned Tianhai Rong and online troll armies that sooner or later they would be held to account. Why such a statement? According to the post, the case involves Lin Beichuan, a descendant of a military family and belongs to the military system. This is not something that can be turned black into white through photo manipulation or fabricated stories. The continued smearing of active duty or retired military personnel has never been merely a matter of public opinion. It is a matter of fundamental principle. Even if one ignores the individual, one cannot ignore the institutional red lines. Earlier, social media accounts of netizens who supported Yu Mengguang were taken down almost indiscriminately. Three young people were seen as leading the movement. Lin Beichuan was recalled to his unit, while Beijing Chieh and a Yuan were placed under close surveillance and effectively silenced. But others did not give up. In late December last year, Beijing Chieh finally returned. On January 6th, he posted a message thanking several active duty soldiers who could not reveal their identities for helping file real name complaints, adding, never underestimate the power of the military. Previously, Lin Beichuan had publicly shown his veteran's certificate and said something that deeply moved many people. The only force that can restrain power is the military. Only the military and political authority can check and balance each other. He called on all retired officers and enlisted personnel to use their identities to file reports upward, applying pressure so the truth could be brought to light. He said that as long as enough servicemen came forward, he would represent them collectively and submit all the evidence under real names. From the current situation, it appears that this call has resonated with both active duty and retired military personnel. Independent commentator Du Jiang analyzed that beneath the surface, China's military is in fact quietly seething. Many servicemen can no longer tolerate the corruption and chaos of the present situation. While those at the top may not dare to make a move, anger is steadily accumulating at the grassroots level. This also explains why, despite extremely tight information controls, cracks keep appearing. The Yu Menglong case has given them additional courage. Is Dilraba Dilmurat showing signs of trouble? At this point, another name connected to the Yu Menglong case deserves even more attention, Dilraba Dilmurat. According to reports from mainland media outlet Jinyuan News, starting in September this year, Dilraba's health condition has become a topic of widespread public concern and discussion. At many public events, she was seen coughing repeatedly. What initially seemed like a mild cold unexpectedly dragged on for more than two months without recovery. Despite this, her work schedule remained packed and she continued pushing herself relentlessly, earning her the industry nickname, the workaholic tough girl. Fans grew worried that her lack of rest would harm her health. Seeing her so visibly exhausted yet still working nonstop, many fans went online to openly criticize her studio, demanding that the artist be given adequate time to rest. It wasn't until November 10th, 2025, that Dilraba's studio officially responded, stating that she had seen a doctor, was recuperating and showing initial signs of recovery. However, on that very same day, netizens spotted her filming in Guangzhou. The weather was gloomy, rainy and bitterly cold, yet Dilraba was wearing a sleeveless top and a skirt while staff around her were dressed warmly for the season. This raised questions, was that really Dilraba or a stand-in? If it was indeed her, then why was she still working while unwell? On November 10th as well, mainland media reported that her condition had worsened and that she was forced to cancel the night shoot. Judging from this information, it seems likely that the person on set really was Dilraba herself. Moreover, in subsequent teasers released by her studio, there was no mention of any improvement in her health. Instead, she continued shooting Dior-related promotional images. Dilraba appeared in Dior's latest designs and graced the opening 2026 China edition cover of Harper's Bazaar. In addition, the 32-episode drama she stars in, Xiaoqi Qingran, has just wrapped filming. However, public discussion has not reached the level of buzz that was expected. In particular, after 14 days of release, the platform's projected daily viewership fell below the warning line of 16.58 million. The show's rating was also downgraded from S-plus at launch to S. In fact, this is not the first time Dilraba has faced difficulties in terms of ratings. Since 2022, dramas such as The Blue Whisperer and The Legend of Anle have not performed particularly well. Even so, Dilraba fits the pattern of the actress is hot even if the drama isn't. Her works may be quiet, but she herself frequently trends on hot searches. Her language talent, dance ability, and runway presence have earned her over 80 million followers on Weibo and extremely high public favorability, keeping her firmly among the top-tier female stars in mainland entertainment. As a result, every move she makes draws attention. Many people are familiar with her rise to fame. In 2010, at age 18, Dilraba traveled from Xinjiang to Shanghai and enrolled at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. From that point on, her life trajectory was almost entirely overtaken by work. In 2023, while filming the variety show Divas Hit the Road, she casually remarked, I haven't been home in 10 years. That is to say, since her debut, she has been constantly on the move, filming dramas, recording shows, attending galas, and participating in commercial events. Locked into a year-round cycle of non-stop work, on social media and news platforms, Dilraba is a constant presence. Yet she does not rely on a large team of assistants to manage her daily life. On the contrary, she does many things herself, washing down jackets and jeans by hand, which she considers entirely normal. She is quite independent. Early in her career, she caught the attention of Yang Mi, performed impressively in the idol drama V Love, and was subsequently selected by Yang Mi to sign with Jaywalk Studio. There, she quickly rose to stardom. Today, however, based on what we can observe, it appears that Dilraba may no longer be with that company. Her management agency changed some time ago. Since then, she has accumulated many well-known works, such as Diamond Lover and Eternal Love, including projects in which she collaborated with Yu Menglong. After Yu Menglong's passing, Dilraba also posted a memorial message for him on Weibo. Though brief, it suggested that the two were fairly acquainted. So, is Dilraba Dilmerat doing okay? Let's continue to watch how things unfold. What do you think about today's developments? Leave your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you, and see you next time.
