Recently, Zhao Lusi attracted attention when appearing in the program " little courage" co-produced by Hunan TV and Mango TV.
The actress experienced life in rural areas in Sichuan, combined with visiting and supporting a number of cases of mental illness and poverty, giving them more motivation to return to normal life.
Contrary to expectations, the actress caused a lot of controversy because of her revelations about herself and her family in the show.
When talking to guests, Zhao Lusi said that before, she only slept about 2 hours/day. In addition to her busy filming schedule, she continuously participates in major events, filming commercials, taking magazine photos...
Because she finds joy in acting, Zhao Lusi does not care too much about her health. Only when she had to be hospitalized at the end of December 2024 did she realize that she had been too negligent in herself.
Also in this program, Zhao Lusi said that her parents did not often communicate and did not know the specific hard work she did, so they always kept in mind: "Now my child is grown up, don't worry anymore". This made her feel unloved and cared for.
This series of statements by Zhao Lusi received mixed controversies from the online community. Most of them thought that she had selfish thoughts, did not love herself, and took illness to attract attention.
The actress was criticized for "fake" because she had previously affirmed that she had a close relationship with her parents. The vlogs she posts always feature photos of her grandmother, father, cousin...
The actress was also judged to lack knowledge, low EQ, and psychological instability with a series of other statements.
Before getting sick, Zhao Lusi thought that the banyan tree was just a symbol of power, wondering why others needed to fight the banyan tree. Only after getting sick did she understand its true uses.
When visiting Tieu Ta, the woman being abused by her husband, Trieu Lo Tu continuously asked: "You don't dare believe that I'm right? Can't wait to believe that Zhao Lusi came to visit you? Don't you dare believe it?" These three repeated questions made the audience uncomfortable.
The online community believes that Zhao Lusi is "healing" by seeking to find situations that are more difficult than her. She lacks compassion, empathy, luxurious illusion, and craves to be admired and praised by others, and shouts.
The program "Little courage" is announced to have 12 episodes. However, as soon as episode 1 aired, the audience had negative reviews of Zhao Lusi. Many people affirmed that the actress had damaged her image and it was difficult for her to return to acting as before.
At the same time, fans questioned why Zhao Lusi had time to film a reality show without completing unfinished film projects.
The film "Let Me Shine" cannot get a broadcasting license because it does not have the voice of Zhao Lusi's character. "The Lover" is also at risk of being postponed indefinitely because the actress stopped filming.
