Li Meng portrays the role of Princess Wan Ning in the Chinese drama '墨雨雲間' which has gained popularity, especially with a scene interpreted as a reference to the historically humiliating 'Yoking Ceremony'. During the Jin-Song Wars, the captured Song Emperor and his entourage were subjected to stripping naked, having ropes tied around their necks, and being paraded like animals in front of Jin Emperor to show submission. The Empress could not bear the humiliation and chose to end her own life. The drama serves as a reminder of the dark historical events and promotes suicide prevention.
