Wang Zuxian faced backlash from her fans.

Wang Zuxian faces controversy after her comeback.

Two years ago, Wang Zuxian announced the opening of a moxibustion-based health care facility in Vancouver, Canada. Many fans expressed their support at the time, believing that the actress had found a new direction after a long hiatus from showbiz.

According to some customers who spoke to Sohu , the treatments here are quite expensive. Basic moxibustion costs over 1.8 million VND per hour, while some more advanced treatments can cost several thousand yuan (approximately 7 to 19 million VND) per session. Many people seek out the service because of Wang Zuxian's reputation, but later, many negative reviews about the service appeared on social media.

Some people reported making appointments in advance but receiving no confirmation upon arrival. Some customers complained of blistering during the treatment, while customer service explained it as a sign of the body "detoxifying." There were also claims the establishment frequently pressured customers to upgrade to more expensive packages. Later, Wang Zuxian expanded her business to the United States. When she appeared at several events related to moxibustion and traditional medicine, the actress's appearance also became a topic of discussion among netizens.

Recently, the star of the film A Chinese Ghost Story surprised everyone by participating in her first lengthy interview after 22 years away from the entertainment industry. During the program, Wang Zuxian chatted with host Li Dan for over two hours and, for the first time, directly answered many questions from the public.

Following rumors that she retired due to emotional distress, Wang Zuxian denied them. The actress stated that the real reason was that she no longer enjoyed the pace of life in the entertainment industry, with its chaotic work schedule, constant travel between film sets and her residence, and the pressure of being recognized wherever she went. Regarding the controversies surrounding her appearance, she argued that the public still retains images of her from her younger years, while she is now nearly 60 years old, and changes in appearance are natural.

The controversy escalated further when a fan who had followed Wang Zuxian for many years unexpectedly announced they were ceasing their support. This fan, who managed numerous fan accounts with over 30,000 followers, stated that they maintained the accounts purely out of affection for the actress. According to this fan, several unedited photos of Wang Zuxian had been repeatedly requested to be taken down due to copyright issues. They also claimed that even photos taken with the actress had to be heavily edited before being posted. This fan then urged the public to view the online image of the "perfect goddess" more rationally, arguing that such images were, to some extent, professionally photoshopped and tightly controlled.

Another issue that has sparked public debate is Wang Zuxian's recent granting of permission to use images from her youth for certain technology products and AI-powered games. Many viewers believe this move contradicts the actress's stated desire to live a private life and avoid fame and fortune.

On October 5th, the incident continued to be a topic of interest on social media. Some netizens commented that Wang Zuxian has recently been appearing more frequently in business activities, interviews, and events, leading to speculation that she is trying to increase her visibility to support her commercial plans, but it seems that things are backfiring.
