Netflix enthusiasts are in deep mourning, grieving the loss of a cherished star. Alan "Yu" Menglong, famed for his role in *Eternal Love*, tragically passed away on September 11 after a fatal fall from an apartment building in Beijing's Chaoyang district, China. His team confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement. He was just 37 years old.
"With overwhelming grief, we announce that our beloved Menglong met his untimely demise on September 11," read the statement posted on Weibo, a popular Chinese blogging platform, as reported by Asia One. "The police have ruled out any foul play. We hope he finds eternal peace and that his loved ones find the strength to endure."
Menglong boasted an impressive acting portfolio, including notable works such as *The Legend of the White Snake*, *Love Game in Eastern Family*, and *Go Princess Go*—the latter of which catapulted him to national fame in China. Despite establishing himself as a prominent on-screen presence across Asia, Menglong initially embarked on his career in the music industry. He showcased his talents on several Chinese talent competition shows, including *My Show! My Style* and two seasons of *Super Boy*. In the 2013 season of *Super Boy*, Menglong secured a spot among the top ten contestants and subsequently released the single "Just Nice" in 2014, following his experience on the show. The following year, he unveiled his debut album, *Toy*.
In the wake of his passing, numerous fans took to social media platforms to express their sorrow. One fan shared a poignant message alongside a photo of Menglong on X (formerly known as Twitter), lamenting, "It's so hard for a million different reasons." Another added, "It's truly a tragedy that he passed away in such an unexpected manner. Rest in peace."
Indeed, given that news of Menglong's death was initially reported by local Beijing paparazzi, many of his fans are still grappling with the shocking news. "When I first heard the news, I refused to believe it because I thought it was just a rumor," another fan penned on X. "Yu Menglong, you will be sorely missed."
Menglong's most recent acting credit was a role in an episode of *Feud*, which aired earlier this year.
