Don't ignore your body issues. Actor Christy Chung was sent to ICU suddenly, reminding people to check regularly for family genetic diseases and seek medical help timely.
On September 12, renowned actress Zhong Liqi was rushed to the ICU after suddenly feeling unwell. The news quickly drew widespread attention online, with the most widely circulated theory being that her hospitalization was related to a hereditary form of ALS.
This claim is not entirely unfounded. Chung Lai-ki’s older brother passed away from muscular dystrophy at a young age, and her mother was diagnosed with ALS and eventually died from the disease.such conditions inherently carry a clear risk of familial inheritance. Cherrie Chung herself had been undergoing private treatment for quite some time, but her condition had never been effectively controlled. Coupled with the physical toll accumulated from years of nonstop work, she eventually reached her physical limit and collapsed on that day—an outcome that was, in fact, not entirely without warning signs.
Zhong Liqi’s early life is rarely discussed in public. When she first entered the industry, she spent many years as an extra at TVB. Her career failed to take off, and she was further devastated by her boyfriend’s infidelity. Before she could even get her footing after leaving TVB, she received the tragic news that her older brother and mother had passed away one after another.and shortly after her eldest daughter was born, the baby was diagnosed with Chromosome 4 Deletion Syndrome. At the time, the doctors’ prognosis was extremely bleak, and they believed the child had an extremely low chance of survival.
But she never gave in to fate.In the days that followed, she cared for her child with meticulous attention to every detail—feeding her one bite at a time and constantly monitoring her physical condition. She single-handedly pulled the child, who doctors had predicted would survive only a very short time, back from the brink of death. She has continued this care for more than a decade, and the child’s condition is now much more stable.
The news
that she was admitted to the ICU has also served as a wake-up call for the general public. People with a family history of illness should not shy away from the hassle; they must undergo regular, targeted health checkups. If you experience long-term, unexplained weight loss or persistent physical discomfort, do not put up with it or try to tough it out. When you feel overwhelmed by stress, there’s no need to force yourself to keep going.
Ordinary people toil away their entire lives, ultimately seeking nothing more than a stable and peaceful everyday existence.
Starting now, pay closer attention to your physical condition. Seek medical attention promptly if you feel unwell, and try to catch up on sleep if you’re not getting enough. After all, your body is the foundation of everything—once you’ve reached the point of being admitted to the ICU, it will be too late to realize this.
