Chinese film star Li Yifeng, who played Mao Zedong in the movie, was detained for "prostitution":

Chinese film star Li Yifeng, who played Chinese regime founder Mao Zedong in a 2021 film, was recently detained by Beijing police on suspicion of soliciting prostitutes.On Sunday (September 11), the official Weibo account of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau issued a notice saying that the Beijing police recently seized actor Li Moumou (male, 35 years old) in the detection of a criminal case. The second time he confessed to the illegal fact of whoring prostitutes, and he has been administratively detained in accordance with the law.CCTV, the CCP media, later stated that it was confirmed by relevant departments that actor Li Moumou was Li Yifeng, a first-line movie star in recent years. In 2007, he participated in the talent show "Come on! Good Boy" and debuted. In 2014, he gained widespread attention for his role as "Baili Tu Su" in the costume fairy tale "Gu Jian Qi Tan". Li Yifeng's film and television works include "Notes on Tomb Raiders", "Qingyun Zhi" and "Old Paoer". In 2021, he will play Mao Zedong, the founding leader of the Communist Party of China, in the film "Revolutionary", a tribute to the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.As China's current popular movie star, Li Yifeng not only has many fans, but also is the spokesperson for many brands around the world. However, as soon as the news of "Safe Beijing" was disclosed, many brands immediately issued a statement to cut off all ties with him.Brands that announced their severance with Li Yifeng on Sunday night included Prada, True Fruit, Kyoto Nianci An, Sensodyne, HONMA Golf, watch brand Panerai, Lukfook Jewellery, Remy Martin, Duck Down Jacket and Wang Li Security.Due to his good image, Li Yifeng also appeared in a public service advertisement about strengthening national security last year. But since last year, Beijing has launched a special crackdown on so-called "illegal acts" by Chinese stars and celebrities. Authorities are wary of the stars' growing influence, especially over minors, while also claiming to reduce the potential for social chaos.The pianist Li Yundi, known as the piano prince, was also administratively detained by the Beijing police last year for being suspected of “prostitution” for many times; and the Internet celebrity Huang Wei (net name Wei Ya), who is known as the “Queen of Bringing Goods” on the Chinese Internet He was fined 1.341 billion yuan (about 210 million U.S. dollars) by the tax authority of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province at the end of last year for suspected tax evasion.Chinese netizens commented on social media that "sleep and taxes" have become the main reason for the instant collapse of Chinese stars."There are two main reasons for star collapse: one is sleeping and the other is tax," said Weibo blogger "Yai Ge" in a post. "The tax is the tax, don't sleep if you shouldn't." Many netizens and fans expressed their approval.

However, among Li Yifeng's fans, while many people condemned his prostitution behavior, there are still some die-hard fans who believe in his innocence and think that he was framed by rumors. Some people whitewash him by saying that "the money I spend has nothing to do with other people", and some people say that he "at least has no sleeping powder".
