Overseasidol.com — Chinese actress Zhao Lusi became emotional during a livestream on August 5, 2025, as she spoke candidly about the strength she has drawn from her fans.
Moved by their ongoing support, Zhao teared up and expressed deep gratitude, saying, “It’s because of the fans that I’ve made it this far,”.
Zhao also appeared to address the rumored tension with her management agency.
She hinted at her decision to speak up after staying silent for too long, stating, “If things have to drag on forever, so be it. I’ll face it,”.
In an emotional revelation, Zhao shared that her father was diagnosed with cancer in 2023.
At the time, the condition had already reached a critical stage, requiring immediate chemotherapy.
However, her father initially resisted treatment, feeling that the proposed plan wasn’t suitable.
While dealing with this family crisis, Zhao was also filming a drama.
She recalled the pain and anxiety of those days, saying she couldn’t leave the set due to her professional obligations.
Despite the emotional strain, she continued shooting while coordinating with hospitals and doctors behind the scenes.
Zhao revealed she wasn’t able to see her father in person until her grandfather passed away a moment she recalled with visible sorrow.
Fortunately, after adjusting the treatment plan with medical advice, her father eventually agreed to continue chemotherapy.
His condition has since improved, although he now suffers from side effects like noticeable under-eye swelling.
