Is it true that Emperor Zhu's dragon is dead?

No, Pearl Youlong is a costume drama of Chinese mainland, which tells the story of a fictional ancient dynasty, the power struggle between the emperor and the imperial court. Among them, "Emperor Youlong" is one of the characters in the play, played by the actor Chen Musheng. But the statement that "the Pearl Emperor Youlong" is really dead is purely a rumor. Chen Musheng himself clarified the news on social media. So, the dragon emperor, the pearl, is not really dead.
