Matapos magretiro, hindi nagkasundo si Lu Zhengshan at ang kanyang pamilya tungkol sa pagbili ng pamingwit, kaya pinili niyang mamuhay nang mag-isa. Dahil sa kanyang pambihirang husay sa paggawa, natanggap siya sa isang sentro para sa pangangalaga ng pamanang pangkultura at muli niyang nakamit ang paggalang ng iba.

Kasama ang mga kamag-anak at kaibigan, ipinagdiwang niya ang kanyang kaarawan at nagsimula ng isang bago, payapa, at malayang buhay.
