And letâs not forgetâjust because someone appears okay now doesnât mean they are fully healed. They are still prone to relapse. Healing is not always linear.

Why Are People Still Questioning #ZhaoLusiâs Recovery? I canât believe this needs to be said, but here we are.
âWhy doesnât #ZhaoLusi need a cane anymore? Why can she speak and walk nowâjust 10 weeks later? Is it just acting?
If youâve been asking these questions, itâs 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. Iâm 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 donât embarrass yourselves further by speaking without understanding the condition.
DCD is a real and recognized medical condition where a person experiences neurological symptomsâsuch as functional motor impairment (paralysis-like symptoms), difficulty walking, muscle weakness, slurred speech, or trouble speakingâwithout 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 varyâsome 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 Lusiâs case.
She wasnât 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 âWhy doesnât she need crutches anymore? Why can she speak or walk nowâonly after a few weeks? Did she fake it? Did she exaggerate the severity of her health condition earlier this year?â 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 doesnât mean someone is permanently non-functional.
Too often, conditions like DCD are dismissed as being âfakedâ or âpsychosomatic,â 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 someoneâs recovery based on limited observations only reinforces the stigma surrounding mental health.
And that stigma is exactly what #ZhaoLusi is fighting againstâbravely standing up in a world where mental health is still misunderstood and stigmatized. She deserves better than this.

"take one step at a time â this time, follow lusi
step into nature, into the countryside, into the crowd, and into the heart. to see the children eager to grow and those who stay true to their purpose. in the faint light, discover courage. in moving forward, feel warmth.
through a journey of courage, warmth, and healing, grow and heal together by living, empathising, and walking alongside ordinary people. find the courage to face the world once again.
ć°ć°çćæ° (a little courage) belongs to lusi â she accompanies, listens, and turns warmth into strength a little courage belongs to you and me â bravery doesnât have to be grand, but itâs enough to light the way ahead.
From cooking, room cleaning to coloring her friends' hair, I'm glad Lusi is spending her time with the people she loves. I'm so happy she's sharing these little tidbits of her life with us! Keep smiling, baobei!
