Yet, even her intentions are being questioned. The world is truly unfair to our baobei.

Why Are People Still Questioning #ZhaoLusiās Recovery? I canāt believe this needs to be said, but here we are.
āWhy doesnāt #ZhaoLusi need a cane anymore? Why can she speak and walk nowājust 10 weeks later? Is it just acting?
If youāve been asking these questions, itās time to educate yourself on Dissociative Conversion Disorder (DCD).
Articles are circulating after Zhao Lusi was seen visiting and doing public welfare work in Tibet, with some questioning how she has gone from using a wheelchair just a month ago to now walking unassisted. Iām beyond annoyed and dumbfounded. The fact that people are even writing things like this proves how little awareness there is about mental health disorders like DCD, a condition that explains exactly why her symptoms could change over time.
Let me give you some background so you donāt embarrass yourselves further by speaking without understanding the condition.
DCD is a real and recognized medical condition where a person experiences neurological symptomsāsuch as functional motor impairment (paralysis-like symptoms), difficulty walking, muscle weakness, slurred speech, or trouble speakingāwithout an identifiable physical cause. These symptoms result from a disruption in brain-body communication, often triggered by stress or trauma, rather than from structural damage or disease. The severity and duration of symptoms varyāsome cases resolve within days or weeks, while others persist for months or even years. Symptoms can also fluctuate, meaning someone who struggled with mobility or speech one day may appear to function normally the next. This is entirely possible and completely normal for someone with DCD, just like in Zhao Lusiās case.
She wasnāt diagnosed with a stroke, as many assumed. Her condition affects brain-body communication but does not involve permanent nerve damage or lesions, which is why she can improve over time with the right treatment and recovery process. She bravely shared her trauma and experiences to help people understand what she was going through, yet some are still disregarding that and jumping straight to āWhy doesnāt she need crutches anymore? Why can she speak or walk nowāonly after a few weeks? Did she fake it? Did she exaggerate the severity of her health condition earlier this year?ā Are you serious? Can you hear yourself? You might dislike Lusi that much to judge her, but what about others who experience the same condition? Having a mental health condition doesnāt mean someone is permanently non-functional.
Too often, conditions like DCD are dismissed as being āfakedā or āpsychosomatic,ā when in reality, they reflect a genuine disruption in brain-body communication. Instead of assuming that someone has exaggerated their condition, people need education, not ignorance. Dismissing or questioning someoneās recovery based on limited observations only reinforces the stigma surrounding mental health.
And that stigma is exactly what #ZhaoLusi is fighting againstābravely standing up in a world where mental health is still misunderstood and stigmatized. She deserves better than this.
