In the March 7 broadcast of the program, Bai Lu casually mentioned that her rheumatism had flared up while she was picking vegetables as part of the show’s activities. Although she spoke about it lightly, viewers quickly realized that the 31-year-old star appeared to be walking with difficulty, which sparked widespread discussion online about her health condition.
Bai Lu explained that the illness stems from her early days working as a clothing model. At that time, she often had to participate in outdoor photo shoots for spring collections even in snowy weather, wearing thin seasonal outfits while standing for long periods in the freezing cold. She admitted that she did not take proper care of her body when she was younger and only later realized that those repeated shoots in extremely cold conditions had caused lasting damage to her joints.
According to the actress, the effects still remain today. Whenever the weather becomes humid or rainy, she experiences severe joint pain and stiffness, which can make filming dramas or variety shows particularly challenging.
Despite experiencing pain during the program, Bai Lu continued completing the assigned tasks, which included physically demanding work such as harvesting vegetables and carrying items. Fellow guest Dylan Wang reportedly suggested that she take a break, but she politely declined and chose to continue working until the activities were finished.
The actress also shared that rheumatism is only one of several health issues she has dealt with over the years. She previously underwent spinal surgery when she was young, which left lingering complications. Combined with the strain of filming action scenes throughout her acting career and the extreme conditions she faced during her modeling days, she often experiences recurring back pain and needs to wear a back brace to relieve the discomfort, especially during cold weather.
In 2025, Bai Lu also suffered from persistent headaches related to cervical spine problems. The condition caused her weight to drop dramatically to about 86 pounds despite her height of 165 centimeters. After undergoing acupuncture treatment and taking medication, she gradually recovered.
After the episode aired, many fans expressed concern and sympathy for the actress. Viewers said they were touched by how she quietly endured the pain while continuing to work and praised her professionalism, while also urging her to prioritize her health.
Bai Lu herself has previously joked that she seems to have many “strange illnesses,” but she often reminds fans that health should always come before work. She has even customized tableware printed with the phrase “eat well” as a small reminder for both herself and her supporters to pay attention to their physical well-being.
