Chinese actress Zhao Lusi has recently captured public attention after being spotted selling baked egg tarts at a street stall. Photos circulating online show her happily preparing food, chatting with customers, and taking photos with fans. The candid, down-to-earth moment has quickly gone viral, with many praising her approachable charm.
Zhao Lusi has previously expressed her fondness for a simple lifestyle. In a past livestream, she openly shared that she wouldn’t mind running a street food stall if given the chance, emphasizing her comfort with ordinary, everyday living.
This rare public sighting comes after a series of challenges the actress faced in recent years. In December 2024, she was reported to have experienced severe health issues during filming, requiring a wheelchair and prompting her studio to suspend all activities. Medical diagnosis later confirmed that Zhao was suffering from major depression and anxiety due to prolonged exposure to intense work pressure.
In August 2025, Zhao Lusi made headlines again when she publicly accused her former management company of mistreatment. She declared “I’m done” and deactivated her Weibo account, revealing in a livestream that she endured hours of verbal abuse and physical aggression.
By November 2025, during her birthday celebration, Zhao moved many to tears when she tearfully announced the establishment of a new studio and her official signing with a new management company. She admitted that just two months prior, she had doubted her ability to continue acting, saying through sobs: “It was too hard, too hard.”
On the same day, Zhao Lusi’s new studio released an official statement on Weibo confirming her return to work and marking the beginning of a new chapter in her career.
