In 2025, a series of events in Chinese society attracted widespread attention, involving medical, educational, entertainment, and religious fields. From actors falling from buildings to pension disparities, from academic fraud to commercialization of religion, these ten events continued to ferment. Experts point out that these events reflect a significant increase in public concern about social fairness issues.
On September 11, 2025, 37-year-old actor Yu Menglong died after falling from a building in a residential complex in Chaoyang District, Beijing. The police reported it as a “falling accident after drinking,” with incomplete details of the case publicly disclosed.
