Recently, Chinese actor Zhang Lin bravely spoke out for Yu Munong. In two Weibo posts uploaded in the past days, Zhang Lin openly addressed the conditions and treatment Yu endured during his life.
The first Weibo post revealed shocking details: although Yu’s potential earnings could reach hundreds of millions, he actually received only a little over two thousand. Much of this small amount was given to charity, including 2.5 million for autistic children in his city and 500 thousand for flood victims in Zhenzhou.Yu Munong lived modestly. He rented a small apartment, bought clothing for 70–200 yuan, and rarely ate meat. Yet, he consistently performed acts of kindness. Netizens described him as “a god on earth,” a celebrity with extraordinarily high moral standards.
This explains why, after the tragic events, people worldwide — even those who did not know him personally — became his fans and demanded justice.
The second Weibo post on October 28 emphasized that fans’ focus on looks and emotions allowed attackers to act cruelly toward Yu. Zhang Lin noted that the Chinese government expected the issue to disappear from the internet within days, but they miscalculated. Ordinary people who had never met Yu were the ones spreading awareness and support on a massive scale.The most active supporters are largely from the 2007–2009 generation and the 9000s generation. They are not only the digital backbone today but also capable of discerning right from wrong, good from evil, and upholding mature moral values. Their courage shines like stars in the night sky.
In conclusion, Yu Munong’s situation and the public support mark a failure of the Chinese government to suppress this case. Nearly two months later, the issue remains heated, and public attention shows no signs of fading. Perpetrators and elites are now cautious, as ordinary people have proven they can withstand attempts to dominate information.
