Chinese actress Zhang Xinyu, 38, has sparked concern after revealing a recent health scare that required an urgent hospital visit for IV treatment. She shared photos from the hospital on social media—wearing a face mask but still looking visibly exhausted—and disclosed that she has suffered high fevers three times in the past two months, saying her overall health seems to have declined.

In one of the images, a thermometer appears to show her temperature above 38°C, while another photo shows her hand receiving an IV drip, confirming she was hospitalized for treatment. In her post, Zhang expressed frustration, saying that since her weight dropped from a long-maintained 106–110 jin to around 100 jin, her body has struggled to cope, and she has been falling ill and running fevers far more easily.

Her pale, tired appearance—along with noticeable dark circles—prompted many fans to worry. Discussion about her condition has also intensified in recent weeks after rehearsal photos circulated online, showing her in black fitted pants with unusually thin legs. Some commenters described the look as approaching an unhealthy level of thinness. Her hospitalization has further reignited debate around the potential health costs of extreme weight loss in the entertainment industry.

Zhang has long been known for her striking looks and figure. She married military officer He Jie in 2018 and has since kept her personal life relatively low-profile. In the past, rumors claimed He later left the military and took a security-related job, leading some netizens to question whether he was “good enough” for her. Zhang responded firmly on Weibo with the phrase, “Values are a good thing,” defending her husband and emphasizing that she chose love over status—an attitude that earned praise from many online.
