Chinese actress Zhao Lusi recently caught the public’s attention after she was seen selling cooked egg tarts at a street stall. Photos circulating online show her happily preparing food, chatting with customers and taking photos with fans. The candid and down-to-earth moment quickly went viral, with many praising its accessible appeal.
Zhao Lusi has already expressed his passion for a simple lifestyle. In a past livestream, she openly shared that she wouldn’t mind running a street food stall if she had the chance, highlighting her comfort in ordinary, everyday life.
This rare public sighting comes after a series of challenges the actress has faced in recent years. In December 2024, it was reported that he had serious health problems during filming, requiring a wheelchair and prompting his studio to suspend all operations. Medical diagnosis later confirmed that Zhao suffered from severe depression and anxiety due to prolonged exposure to intense work pressure.
In August 2025, Zhao Lusi made headlines again when he publicly accused his former management company of mistreatment. He stated “I finished” and deactivated his Weibo account, revealing in a live stream that he had endured hours of verbal abuse and physical assault.
In November 2025, during his birthday celebrations, Zhao moved many to tears when he tearfully announced the founding of a new studio and his official signing with a new management company. He admitted that just two months earlier he had doubted his ability to continue acting, saying between sobs: “It was too hard, too hard.”
On the same day, Zhao Lusi’s new studio released an official statement on Weibo confirming his return to work and marking the beginning of a new chapter in his career.
