| Zhao Lusi Funds Scholarships |
In just three months, the mountainous region featured in Zhao Lusi’s show Be Myself has gone through a noticeable transformation—and not just on camera.
Locals and netizens alike have been pointing out how much things have improved since filming began.
Turns out, it’s not all for show.
Zhao Lusi herself rolled up her sleeves and quietly funded a bunch of heart-warming initiatives.
Street lights were fixed, school uniforms handed out, and she even provided 30 scholarships for programmes focused on intangible cultural heritage.
That last bit’s particularly touching.
These aren’t just your typical scholarships. They’re geared towards helping kids learn traditional skills—stuff that’s been passed down for generations but risks fading away.
From crafting to performance arts, these scholarships are giving children a chance to both learn and protect their cultural roots.
Fans were quick to praise Zhao Lusi for taking personal responsibility. She’s not just showing up, filming, and heading off. She’s investing in these places with her own money, and it’s already making a difference.

As of 8 April, the show’s been a total hit—Be Myself has racked up an eye-popping 85 million views. That’s not just buzz, that’s serious attention.
And it’s about to get even better.
Three special guests have been officially confirmed for upcoming episodes.
Fu Bohan will take viewers deeper into the mountains, Victor Ma’s set to bring snowy landscapes to life, and Wei Xiao’s planning an episode by the sea.
If you’ve followed Zhao Lusi for a while, you’ll know these three are among her closest mates in the industry.
So, it’s no surprise the vibe’s going to be relaxed, genuine, and full of laughs. Fans are already calling it the “best programme with the best people”.

But what really sets Be Myself apart is its raw, documentary-style format. There’s no makeup, no fancy styling, and zero scripted moments.
It’s Zhao Lusi unplugged—exploring villages, living like a local, and embracing the highs and lows of everyday life.
The show’s been praised for its honest portrayal of mental health and healing too.
Rosy Zhao’s been open about her past battles with depression, and Be Myself reflects her journey of recovery.
It’s not often you get a celebrity show that ditches the glitz for genuine moments. And with Zhao stepping into remote corners of China to connect with real people and give back in meaningful ways, it’s easy to see why audiences are hooked.
Whether it’s her quiet kindness, love for tradition, or simply her ability to keep things real, Zhao Lusi’s Be Myself has struck a chord.
New episodes continue to drop on Mango TV and Hunan TV, and if early signs are anything to go by, this series might just become a modern classic.
