Heartbreaking Condition of Zhao Lusi Before Her Stroke: Severely Underweight and Suffering from Severe Depression
Zhao Lusi’s alarming weight loss has raised concerns, leaving those who follow her deeply worried.
The news of Zhao Lusi’s stroke has shocked fans of the Chinese entertainment industry. According to a friend, the actress is suffering from aphasia (loss of language ability). Images of Zhao Lusi in a wheelchair, with a lifeless expression, have circulated online, evoking sympathy and concern from fans.
In recent months, Zhao Lusi had shown signs of instability. Her noticeable weight loss left her skeletal, and her once-vibrant face appeared dull and lifeless.
Photos shared by Zhao Lusi on her social media also revealed her frail frame. Despite wearing stylish outfits and makeup, her lack of vitality was evident.
One fan-captured video of Zhao Lusi on her way to work highlighted her exhaustion and haggard appearance. Her collarbone and chest were visibly skeletal, shocking many. Another image taken during her work commute displayed her thin, fragile figure in a thin top and fitted pants, further amplifying fans’ concerns. Many netizens expressed their sadness and urged Zhao Lusi to address her alarming weight loss.
Zhao Lusi’s slender frame has often sparked concern among fans. The actress had previously been criticized online for her slightly chubby appearance, prompting her to lose weight. However, her extreme weight loss led to an alarming state, with her weight reportedly dropping to just 39-40 kg.
During her appearance at Versace’s show at Milan Fashion Week 2024, Zhao Lusi’s overly slender figure worried fans again. Her body appeared too thin, with nearly no visible curves.
One major factor contributing to Zhao Lusi’s frailty is believed to be her hectic work schedule. Between continuous filming, promotional events, and frequent livestreams for sales, Zhao Lusi seemingly lacked the necessary rest to recharge.
The actress once shared a diet plan that helped her lose 4-6 kg in seven days. She typically ate breakfast and lunch, and for dinner, if hungry, she would consume low-sugar fruits. “Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and fiber, which increase satiety and support digestion. However, when losing weight, you cannot rely solely on salads and fruits. A lack of protein can make you feel hungry quickly and may cause rapid weight gain after losing weight,” Zhao Lusi explained.
On December 14, Zhao Lusi was rushed to the emergency room, but the images have only recently surfaced widely. According to her close friend, she lost her ability to speak and suffered temporary paralysis, leading to her diagnosis of a stroke. She now requires time for recovery.
A well-known Chinese entertainment blogger previously revealed that Zhao Lusi had faced significant challenges and stress while filming a new project. Upon joining the production team, she discovered that the script being filmed differed from the original script she had received. Despite her requests, she was ignored. Having invested deeply in the project, Zhao Lusi felt betrayed, leading to disappointment and depression.
