In October 2023, Yinglong began uploading videos to YouTube. He planned to only upload a few videos for his friends but this grew into another serious stride of wushu archiving and research. This led to serious major coverage of the 2023 World Wushu Championships where he made popular the use of medal emojis in video titles. His channel also gained major traction from his coverage of the 2024 International Wushu Invitational Tournament. Yinglong has also covered the 2001 National Games of China, 1990 Asian Games, 1995 World Wushu Championships, 1991 World Wushu Championships, and other competitions.

Outside of Wikipedia and YouTube, Yinglong has done much wushu archiving work and wrote many documents related to history of international, United States, and US Collegiate wushu. He is busy writing "The Olympianization of Wushu" which will be released sometime in the future. Yinglong was formerly busy with USWushuTeam.com back in 2020 where he documented the entire history of the various US Wushu Teams.
