Zhao Lusi's First Weibo Post in the Year of the Snake š§§
"Constantly "Day and Night" thinking, Extremely "Curious"ā Daily Life
A little daily sharing on the first day of the Chinese New Year! āš»
Happy New Year, everyone. Happy New Year, 2025.
Let me share something small firstā I finally dyed my hair the color Iāve been thinking about for 10 years!!! š
I used to think, "A sentence or two isnāt enough to explain, but saying too much ruins everything," so I just didnāt say anything. I deeply regret not keeping a record of the little details in daily life and forgetting how I felt about choosing emojis when sharing my daily moments.
Later on, my loss of speech came along with reading difficulties š¤·āāļø. I started keeping a little journal, butā¦ only I could understand what I wrote. Unexpectedly, through this practice, I rediscovered my old habit of rambling, and I even learned to use punctuation properly again!
(The detailsāI'll share them bit by bitā¦ Saying too much sounds like āself-pity,ā but saying nothing makes it seem like a āmedical miracle")
Since the outcome is the same whether I speak or not, I might as well prioritize my emotions! I'll say what I want to say.
āš» Being able to share different perspectives and attitudes, avoiding spreading false information or defamation, while protecting my own interests and emotions. That's how I learned to use words to process and release built-up emotions.
When feelings are being felt. That's what truly matters!
Since Iāve accepted my situation, I want to share more about my positive and active recovery process. I realize I may have overlooked the discomfort some fellow patients might feel, and I sincerely apologize for that. But please "rest assured". I am definitely NOT fully recovered!
Depression is a ālong-term battle.ā But whether it remains ālong-termā or becomes āshort-termā with more effort. We can at least TRY to make it shorter.
āš» What if we see ādepressionā as a debt collector? You canāt just make it disappear unless you settle the debt. So to me, the focus isnāt WHEN I will be cured, but HOW I will put in the effort to heal.
At first, I feared the unknown aspects of the illness, so I wanted to understand its roots better. I read books on psychology and listened to many generous fellow patients' experiences. From everything I learned, the most helpful approach for me at this stage is: producing endorphins + stimulating serotonin
Iāve always eaten sweets because the serotonin boost gives me brief moments of happiness. But working on producing endorphins is my long-term treatment strategy. (Not sure if itās rightājust sharing my personal experience~)
My friends and I have a group chat called "Get Better Instantly" We created it on December 21, 2024
At first, my friends secretly visited me and used the chat to coordinate daily updates. Later, they started sharing funny memes, recovery tips, and silly photos and videos of each other. My efforts were being recorded. Seeing even the smallest changes, they cheered me on no matter where they were.
I used to feel like a ālifelessā person. I thought I was useless, I doubted myself. āWhatās the point of doing good things or being kind to people? It always ends up hurting me.ā
But because of these records, because of the genuine love behind them, I started affirming my past kindness, recognizing my recovery efforts, and stopping the cycle of negative emotions.
I became more willing to commit to proper treatment and seek validation through progress. I also explored healing methods outside of books. Ones that suited me personally; to generate endorphins
And naturally, I started feeling happiness again. Consistent, long-lost happiness. š This kind of approach is like giving yourself a "reward system" For any (difficult, painful, long, challenging) task, once you complete it, you earn a reward. So ANYTHING can become a driving force to earn that reward. (From personal experience: this includes fighting an illness.)
Rewards = Endorphins = Happiness
So nowāI no longer feel anxious about HAVING anxiety
On Chinese New Year's Eve, we renamed our group from āGet Better Instantlyā to āGet Better Gradually" Because my symptoms and overall state have improved significantly.
This, without a doubt, is the best New Year's gift I could give to the people who love me. š
And thank you all for calling me ābrave.ā I donāt think Iām brave! I just empathize easily.
People used to say my empathy was a sign of āsensitivity and fragility,ā a āsavior complex.ā So I resented this inexplicable ability to FEEL othersā emotions.
But during this time, through the words overflowing from my screen, through the unspoken messages in peopleās eyes, Iāve felt embraced
I now understand the power that empathy can convey.
So regardless of identity, experience, or circumstances, to even attempt to stand in anotherās shoes and feel their situationā that is both a gift and a flaw.
After all, each personās neural network differs, so whether one possesses this āgift/flawā or not is entirely normal. There is no right or wrong.
And so being unable to empathize is completely okay too.
Now, I can see my empathy for what it is and cherish it. š That is the best gift 2025 has given me. š
Even now, I still take photos and videos to document my days. I need to see myself trying every day.
So whether you call it āmarketing,ā or any other label for āmeā that you come up with, I can accept it.
After all, Iām a "medical miracle,ā right?
So even if just one person understands what Iām trying to say, if it brings them even a tiny spark of hope or motivation, then my āendorphinsā will be activated again.
For all my happiness, thank you And for my recover, thank you
ā "So this is just marketing, right?" Yes, thatās correct.
Because only through marketing and promotion can we help people see depression without the lens of bias and misunderstanding.
With more awareness, there will be more voices of understanding and support. Those suffering will have the confidence to face the lack of support. Empathetic individuals and organizations will step up to protect those in need.
Depression must be positively marketed and taken seriously. Depression patients must be protected and receive proper treatment.
Everything I āmarketā is to help people see the real severity of this illness.
Depressed individuals suffer just as much as those with physical illnesses. We need more people to understandā this is pain and torment, not just whining
Marketing can meet a need or create a need
I have gained time for treatment, and my story has helped raise awareness of mental health issues. That is the purpose of positive marketing
So when does āmarketingā become a derogatory term? āāā When it benefits the competition āāā In the entertainment industry
Marketing itself has meaning. If you say Iām āmarketingāā¦ (Oh, no, noā¦ I wouldnāt dareā¦ Just a noisy little half-full water bottle š¦)
"Love, at its core, is the same. Itās only crowded because there are many people"
The first journal entry of 2025ā
Finally, two more things: While searching for happiness, also cherish your negative emotions
As long as you can still āignite,ā your situation isnāt too bad. Donāt fear it, and donāt feel guilty. š«
Depression is suppressed negative emotions accumulating over time, causing your bodyāskin, senses, muscles, brain, heartā to become uncontrollable. It can make you restless or slow. In pain or numb. Mute or blind. Paralyzed or manic.
I didnāt believe it at first eitherā¦ Before my diagnosis, I underwent MRI scans, blood tests, and neurological exams; to confirm that it wasnāt due to any physical organ issues or medication reactions. And then I realised..
Before ānegativeā was a word, it was simply part of the natural human experience.
Both positive and negative emotions deserve to be understood and accepted.
That is the only way to love yourself.
When feelings are felt, thatās what truly matters.
Believe in yourself. Believe pain can create endorphins. Believe that even in lifeās cracks. Light will seep through"

I read it somewhere that this is a highly overrated drama. Is that true?
It has 32 awards and countless nom. Ranks 7 as average playback volume of Tencent exclusive long-tail episodes (all timeTencent dramas) It is streamed in 5 countries right now. LLTG is one of the most streamed chinese drama overseas.
-they are slaves, their life didnt matter. Ppl were kidnapped and brought to the pearl farm, transf. in slaves…
Not only they use to kidnap ppl, mostly kids or teens and train them to become divers, but they also have that "maternity farm" which produced generations of slaves, mostly next divers. Full training took less than 1 year, and all dove during training. Those who couldnt make the harsh training were killed. Not all of them dove in very dangerous places, only the best one
See how rumors start with a post like yours...... No, she did NOT suffer a stroke AT HOME, and her manager now…
After they spread the lie about the stroke, they will accuse her of faking it after she'll recover and come back (time to recover after a stroke is really long and recovery is almost always partial)
I don't even know, I just can't believe what I've shown, divers whose skills should be worth their weight in gold…
-they are slaves, their life didnt matter. Ppl were kidnapped and brought to the pearl farm, transf. in slaves (this is how DW arrived at the farm, when she was a kid). -Pearl divers, their masters, all knew always that if they have any cut they cant dive (shark attacks). That's why DW could manage to escape from that guy who tried to abuse her (she threatened him with a knife. So, we didnt see many bleeding injuries, but lot of bruises -all scene under water were real, filmed with actors. ZLS did her stunts alone, in the cold water. Could they be done with AI or cgi? definitely, but they werent, so we had some real scenes -romance line isnt the most important, drama is focused on DW's journey, about her life. So, her love story is just a part of her life's story -after ep 20 drama is about business, friendship, woman empowerment. DW became SMZ, her story continues till the end
Maybe this drama is not the best I ever seen, but it has some strong good things: - the chars are all very well written -there are some themes I really like: fight for freedom (the entire story is about it), strong FL, woman empowerment, business woman -good acting (FL), real stunts -good cinematography -good Ost - amazing chemistry, a short but intense love story
š£ Calling all International Kelulis! In collaboration with the Official Rosy Fanclub, weāll be sending flowers to Zhao Lusi for her Viee Fan Meet on Jan 25th!
*The flowers will be arranged by Official Rosy Fanclub and the size, style, and details will be thoughtfully chosen by them. *Please note that participation is entirely optional. *Any excess funds will be carried over exclusively to the next Kelulis International project. ............................................................

Also, make sure to fill out the form after sending your contribution, as the official fan club often requests a record of contributors and their respective countries
I read the news that they changed the script when she arrived to film. She was not happy about this.
70 % of the script was changed. Director also changed. She tried to talk with dir, producer but they refused to comm. They tricked her, didnt give her almost anything from what she signed for
i still don't get the whole story, there has to be some stuff we will never hear about, how come 'the villain'…
her contract will end this year. It's a matter of several months Not watching her works is the worst thing you can do. Kelulis are rewatching all her dramas these days
