Just a couple of days ago, while I was
casually searching for clips of the Chinese drama Eternal Love on
YouTube, I stumbled across something that shook me to the core. The news
of Alan Yu Menglong, just 37 years old, passing away suddenly and mysteriously.
Yu played the brother of Yang Mi’s character "Bai Qian" in Eternal Love, a
role that had etched him deeply into the hearts of viewers across the world.
At first, I thought it might be another celebrity hoax. But as I dug deeper, the reality emerged: Yu Menglong had indeed died after falling from a building in Beijing. His studio and police confirmed the news, and his mother later stated it was an accidental fall, possibly after drinking.
And yet, the story didn’t end there.
According to official reports:
- Yu Menglong died on September 11, 2025, after falling from a friend’s apartment building.
- Police ruled out criminal involvement.
- His mother called it an accident, saying alcohol might have played a role.
But online, a much darker picture is circulating:
- Allegations that he was murdered, tortured, or pressured by powerful forces.
- Screenshots of alleged messages where Yu said, “They may kill me anytime… money transferred to me is dirty.”
- Claims that social media posts about his death are being deleted or censored.
Whether fact or fabrication, these rumours have spread fast — because fans feel the official narrative leaves too many unanswered questions.
As I read more, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in India. A similar story:
- Young, gifted, humble actors from a modest background, adored by millions.
- Sudden and shocking death.
- Allegations of foul play, cover-ups, silenced voices.
- Fans grieving not just the loss, but the unanswered “why.”
- Suspected Political associations
And even the shocking facts about Disha Salian's death just before Sushant Singh Rajput!
All of them, Alan Yu Menglong , Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian shared qualities that made them beloved: talented, charming, hardworking, good-hearted, innocent, rising to fame quickly. And perhaps — tragically — but all may have shared the burden of being caught in bad company, toxic power circles, and ego-driven environments that suffocate sensitive souls.
Seeing the plight of so many good people being harassed in various walks of life, and still grieving the shocking news of Yu Menglong’s sudden death, I found myself in deep frustration and sorrow. In my grief, I couldn’t stop wondering: what karma must have brought these events upon such innocent victims?
Feeling shocked and depressed, I turned to the internet with the age-old question that humanity has asked for centuries:
“Why do bad things happen to good people?”
The answers I came across gave me much to reflect upon. One post struck me to the core, in particular: it said to the effect that,
"Often, it is our ignorance or recklessness in our associations that brings us into danger. Sometimes, out of peer pressure, ambition, dependency, or a false sense of status, we align ourselves with people whose values are completely different from ours. Such company can bring not only pain but also grave danger, especially when those people are driven by ego, jealousy, greed or vindictiveness"
And this mismatch can bring danger.
This thought echoed a teaching of Lord Buddha in the Maha Mangal Sutta, which emphasizes the importance of keeping the right company:
- Stay away from fools and harmful influences.
- Seek the company of the wise and spiritually awakened.
- Stay in good place (that is earned by past life merits)
- Avoid intoxicants (alcohol, substances and drugs affecting consciousness levels)
- Abstain from evil (actions and people)
- Practice Self-control and chastity
- Reflect deeply on the Four Noble Truths
It’s a reminder that the company we keep can be as crucial to our wellbeing as our own intentions.
This also reminded me of other striking similarities in the role of intoxicants and parties between all recent tragic deaths.
Yu Menglong is said to have been at a party with drinks the night before his fall.
Disha Salian, closely linked to Sushant’s case, too was reported to have attended a party involving intoxicants and alcohol.
And Sushant himself, according to claims, was pushed into using hashish under peer pressure from his then-girlfriend and brother-in-law.
Avoid the Traps of Sensory Enticements - Choose Restrain & Contentment
Here, the words of Lord Buddha in the Maha Mangal Sutta ring with timeless relevance. The Blessed One clearly advises us to avoid and abstain from evil people, intoxicating drinks, practice self-control and chastity, and reflect deeply on the Four Noble Truths. These are not simply personal disciplines, but shields against situations that can make one vulnerable to manipulation, downfall, and avoidable tragedy.
Manipulative people often exploit our attachments to pleasures of the five senses — enticing us through wealth, fame, food, drink, or even relationships — to control, distract, or exploit us. As Lord Buddha taught, such attachments can cloud judgment, weaken discernment, and lead us away from our higher purpose.
By staying aware of these subtle traps, remaining content (albeit progressive in organic manner) and self- restrain, we can choose paths that truly nourish the soul rather than being lured into deception, co-dependency, or harm. Cultivating mindfulness, meditation, and a clear inner compass allows us to see beyond the glitter and maintain sovereignty over our mind, body, and spirit.
Among the thirty-eight blessings described in the Sutta, the conclusion is striking: one who abides by these blessings is “victorious everywhere” and succeeds in all their goals. It is as if the Buddha foresaw how intoxicants and reckless associations could become gateways to destruction, while restraint and wisdom pave the way to victory and lasting peace.
MahaMangal Sutta With Hindi Translation Subtitles :
Yu Menglong’s & Sushant Singh Rajput's unfortunate sudden passing with unanswered questions leaves us with grief, confusion, and suspicion. The truth may or may not ever be fully known. But what it certainly leaves us with is reflection:
- To remember that life is fragile and uncertain.
- To question the systems around us that hide or twist truth.
- To protect our own paths by choosing wisely the people we trust, work with, and draw influence from.
- To live with compassion, because often the kindest people carry the heaviest unseen burdens.
And perhaps most importantly: when we experience red flags from people, we must choose to let go and instead hold on to that which nurtures our soul — not shortcuts to artificial enrichment or co-dependency driven by greed and lust.
The Silent Fear: When Good Souls Sense Danger
Another common thread between Yu Menglong, Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput is chilling: both seemed to sense that their lives were in danger.
- Yu Menglong is said to have sent messages indicating he was being threatened, that money forced upon him was “dirty,” and that “they may kill me anytime.”
- Disha Salian also sent some messages to her contacts as per sources
- Sushant too, according to many close accounts, had confided fears of being watched, controlled, and harmed. He had changed his sims multiple times in just few days before his painful passing away.
For sensitive, innocent souls in power-driven, exploitative environments, this is not rare. Many sense danger before anything happens, but often they lack the right support system to protect them.
If these tragic stories teach us anything, it is that awareness and support are not luxuries, but necessities. To avoid such situations, here are lessons we can all take:
1. Trust Red Flags Early
When your intuition /inner voice signals danger through repeated patterns — whether through controlling / toxic behavior, threats, manipulation, or coercion — listen. Don’t dismiss intuition.
2. Avoid Isolation
Dangerous people often thrive by isolating their targets. Build and maintain a circle of trustworthy reliable and loyal friends, family, mentors, or spiritual guides, who can see what you might not. Keep them close.
3. Stay Away from Intoxicants
As Lord Buddha taught in the Maha Mangal Sutta, intoxicants cloud judgment and weaken self-control, making one vulnerable to exploitation and peer pressure.
4. Seek Wise Counsel
Surround yourself with people of values, integrity, and spiritual grounding. Stay in company of those with spiritual wisdom, integrity, and values. Just as bad company accelerates downfall, good company provides clarity, courage, and resilience.
5. Document and Share Concerns
If feeling threatened, speak up, document, and confide in trusted people and document what is happening. Silence and secrecy empower abusers. Maintain a Daily Diary and at the least write down most important events on paper, inform your confidante about the place where you keep such a diary.
6. Choose Soul-Nurturing Paths : Avoid shortcuts, greed, artificial enrichment, and toxic co-dependencies born of greed or lust. Seek those who and that which truly uplifts your spirit and Cultivate Impeccable Bond with Higher Self and Intuition Through Meditation
The surest way to do this is by going within. Regular meditation clears the clouds of doubt and fear, aligning our inner compass with the Divine and our higher Self. This inner GPS gently but powerfully guides us toward the right people, the right choices, and the right circumstances — while helping us sense and step away from danger or manipulation before it’s too late.
7. And Last But Not the Least - MAINTAIN The Delicate Balance Between Ambition and Discernment - Learn to Say "NO" when it does not feel right in your heart!
Ambition is not wrong — in fact, it is the fire that drives growth, creativity, and achievement. But ambition without discernment can become a trap.
Be ambitious, but with clear judgment and discernment about whom to associate with and whom to avoid.
Do not get so carried away by the glamour and shine of people who repeatedly show red flags, that by the time you realize it, you are already trapped in their chakravyuh — a one-way maze of regret, manipulation, and loss of freedom. In such circles, the danger of becoming mere puppets of unconscientious people is very real.
So yes, be ambitious — but ambitious enough to retain sovereignty over your own mind, body, and spirit. That is the kind of ambition Lord Buddha’s teachings point us towards: one that nurtures inner strength, clarity, and freedom, rather than ensnaring us in the glitter of false company.
The Wisdom of Good Losses vs. Bad Losses
Being a life-Long Learner with varied interests, I once attended a seminar on the stock market where I learned about Good Losses and Bad Losses. Investors are taught that it is always wiser to cut losses early and walk away at the slightest inkling that the market trend is not in one’s favor.
Through personal experiences, I have come to realise that Life, too, works on the same principle. Even if a loss has already occurred, the moment we gain clarity that a relationship, friendship, or situation is not moving in the right direction, it is far wiser to cut those losses and move on. These are Good Losses — the kind that preserve our peace, self-respect, and alignment with truth.It is always better to cut out the losses in relationships and friendships that show signs of betrayals, lies, toxicity, suffocation, manipulation, deliberate lies, mistreatment, unhealthy comparisons, or competitiveness - The list is endless — but our gut feeling never lies, especially when we are centered in spiritual practices and connected to our Higher Self and the Divine.
But the Bad Losses are those where, out of greed, fear, attachment, or FOMO (fear of missing out), we keep staying stuck — hoping to recover what is gone, ignoring our soul’s warning signs, and sinking deeper into a spiral of compounded pain and abuses.
Our soul never lies. When we are connected through meditation, prayer, and self-reflection, we can clearly sense when something is no longer right for us. Acting on that clarity — even when it hurts in the short term — is what saves us from far greater suffering later.
This is not just theory for me; it is lived truth. My father and family once failed to discern red flags early on in a property deal, and their manipulated death has now placed me in ongoing legal battles. I have consciously set aside my career and prospects — not out of defeat, but out of commitment to pursue justice for my father’s soul.
I cannot forget the dream I had of my father just within days after his passing — he was crying tears of Blood. That image of his pain, the betrayal by those he blindly trusted, and the injustice done to him keeps fuelling the fire in my belly to go on, no matter how long it takes.
The price he paid for continuing to trust manipulative people despite clear red flags, ignoring signs, and allowing lies to continue deepening roots in close contacts and in business deals was unbearably high, ultimately making him lose his life in an unnatural manner
That very pain is my reminder - and now become my strength and my message to others: never ignore the red flags, never compromise your inner voice, and never allow yourself to remain bound by the snares of deceitful people and uncrupulous people, cut out losses and walk out at slightest of gut feelings of being taken for a ride - that it is always wiser to walk away from unhealthy bonds than to remain trapped in them until it’s too late to be free.
As I thought more, I was reminded of a Hindi and Gujarati saying:
“Kaashi me bhi kauvve kaale hote hai.”
Even in the holiest of places, the crows are still black.
In other words, no matter where we go in the world, the same patterns exist — power struggles, rat races, human emotions of greed, FOMO, fear, lust, anger etc hijacking mind, enticement traps, competitions, crimes committed for ego wars, lust and money.
This isn’t bound by geography or culture; it is a universal human weakness.
And perhaps that is why the teachings of wisdom traditions — like Lord Buddha’s call to discernment and wise company in the Mangal Sutta — remain so timeless, boundless, universal and urgent.
Final Thoughts
The deaths of Yu Menglong, Sushant Singh Rajput and his philanthropic team including Disha Salian, is not just the loss of young innocent talents, but the loss of gentle souls who deserved much better in life, who touched many hearts through their work.
Whether their end was an accident or something darker, it reminds us to live with vigilance, empathy, and spiritual discernment.
Like Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian, Yu Menglong will live on through his art and through the conversations his untimely passing has sparked.
And maybe — just maybe — their stories will make us to reflect deeper and choose better company, seek truth, and walk our own journeys with courage, discernment and wisdom.
✨ Rest in peace,
Alan Yu Menglong,
Disha Salian and
Sushant Singh Rajput!
Lovingly
Pray for all of your soul's liberation!
