26-year-old Chinese actress Zhao Lusi reportedly went to the hospital in a wheelchair. She entrusted her friend Wei Xiao to speak out, confirming that Zhao Lusi is experiencing speechlessness and an inability to stand up and walk. Wei Xiao revealed that Zhao Lusi had been off since her birthday on November 9th, and after the filming of her new series "Lover" began, her condition worsened on the 18th of this month. "Up until now, she has slowly been able to speak and has started rehabilitation training. We are all extremely relieved and happy."
On the evening of the 28th, Wei Xiao posted a photo on Xiaohongshu of Zhao Lusi slumped in a wheelchair. In one photo, Zhao Lusi is seen tilting her head while reading, and in another, Wei Xiao is squatting beside her, both holding phones. Zhao Lusi appears completely limp, seemingly lacking even the strength to hold her phone. Wei Xiao wrote on the image: "Face-to-face message exchange, much faster internet speed. (A little joke because of the 300 messages per day due to the speechlessness)" There was also a screenshot of their conversation. Wei Xiao said she was outside the emergency room but couldn't enter due to the crowd and asked Zhao Lusi, "How are you feeling now? Any better?" Zhao Lusi replied with a photo of her hand making a thumbs-up on her thigh. Wei Xiao then sent a teary-eyed selfie, and Zhao Lusi replied, "Don't cry!" and playfully sent a string of "la."
Wei Xiao stated that Zhao Lusi entrusted her to inform everyone that she is safe, so people could be somewhat reassured. However, Wei Xiao added: "To be honest, since her birthday, we've already felt that something was off about her. After entering the crew, and then the outburst on the 18th, up until now when she can slowly speak and start rehabilitation training, we are all extremely relieved and happy. During this time, she has been actively cooperating with treatment in the hospital, and there were considerations for hospitalization according to medical advice, but the situation might have adjusted in the past two days. I hope, we all hope, that there will be a good result in the end. Regarding her condition, regarding the truth, until now, it shouldn't be up to me, as a friend, to reveal what happened, nor should it be up to Lusi to reopen her wounds and talk about these things. We hope someone will take responsibility and explain."
Revealed She Doesn't Want to Continue in the Industry "Truly Very Unhappy"
Zhao Lusi's health condition made headlines, attracting a large number of netizens' attention, who unearthed earlier clips of her in variety shows where she had openly disclosed her low period due to work dissatisfaction and considered leaving the entertainment industry. At the time, her parents gave her immense support and encouragement. "There was a period when I really didn't want to act, didn't want to be in this industry. I told them (my parents), I am truly very unhappy," Zhao Lusi confessed. She said her mother's actions made her feel healed, "My mom was the first to take out the contract to see how much we would have to compensate, and at that moment, I was really touched."
