Chinese actress Zhao Lusi has made headlines for her speedy recovery from serious health problems in a miraculous ten days, and as you can guess, that has left fans and others wary.
According to K14, after a rocky phase where she alleged her previous handlers had not treated her right, the 26-year-old actress seems to have made a quick flight back, which was seen with raised eyebrows by many in the industry.
Last month, it was reported that Zhao Lusi had been admitted to the hospital with persistent severe depression and physical problems, having suffered from her mental ill health since 2019.
Since then, following treatment, she can now reportedly speak, sit up, and even walk. However, over the time of her restoration, she has drawn a spectrum of responses from the local community and followers.
As fans celebrate her progress, others voice concerns that her recovery might be exaggerated to gain sympathy from the public.

Some critics believe the speedy recovery from serious mental health issues comes off as unrealistic and may make light of the impact of mental illness, labeling the concerns as "puerile."
Vu Chinh, who was the drama queen Zhao Lusi's former boss and a big name in Chinese showbiz, was under fire when the actress accused him of abuse and blackmail. But he said later that he had spoken to her privately and that her condition had improved.
Vu Chinh noted, "Her health is much better. But she does need more time to heal."
While Zhao Lusi goes through this tough time, the public is speculating about the truth of her healing story.
