Zhao Lusi, a Chinese actor, has recently made headlines due to her mounting health problems. It was reported that Zhao Lusi's health declined on December 18, prompting her to be transported to the emergency room of a hospital in Shanghai.
The hectic shooting schedule for Almost Lovers, Zhao's next urban romance series, allegedly turned out to be the reason behind her illness.
After her hospitalization, numerous speculations arose concerning the causes of her ailment. Certain reports indicated that she may be experiencing aphasia, a condition that impairs communication skills.
For those unaware, aphasia is a linguistic impairment that inhibits the ability to speak. It is attributable to impairment in the region of the brain responsible for linguistic expression and understanding. Aphasia renders an individual incapable of effective communication with others.

Zhao Lusi’s video on wheelchair went viral recently pointing to her ill-health
A video from the hospital that reportedly shows Zhao Lusi lying in a wheelchair with her father and teammates by her side went viral. In the clip, her face is mostly hidden by a mask.
Reports about her stressful working schedule and ongoing struggles with depression began to circulate as a result.
The actor's management group has confirmed that she was in the midst of a health crisis and is being treated at this time. Her management team announced on Weibo that Zhao has stepped away from all professional obligations to focus on her rehabilitation. The statement said:
"Ms. Zhao Lusi has always adhered to the original intention of an actor, cherishing every opportunity to perform. We will now take her health as the primary consideration.”
Additionally, Zhao's father announced to her fan club on December 28 that she was safe and recovering. Zhao reportedly prompted her close friend, actor Wei Xiao, to post health updates on social media.
Wei Xiao posted a photo of Zhao in a wheelchair informing people that Zhao has started speech therapy and rehab exercises to stand again.
On December 31, a purported friend of Zhao revealed her workplace harassment in an online group. Zhao's agency, Yinhekuyu Media, had harassed her since 2019, the friend claimed. The friend claimed to have seen the agency staff's physical and mental abuse firsthand. This post came out amid Zhao Lusi’s health concerns.
Zhao Lusi is a 26-year-old Chinese actor and singer, who gained global fame with her recent C-dramas Hidden Love (2023) and The Life of a Pearl Girl (2024).
