China is often demonized for treating their mentally ill harshly (in the West), but from reading your post, China seems way more progressive than a society like America.
I can’t really find any sources on exactly WHY she was lobotomized other than that she was “difficult” to handle and was “irritable” (with no clear anecdotes to demonstrate this), and that the doctors promised (as many did at that time for all kinds of mental illnesses) the lobotomy as a general “cure”. The sources I found describe her as being essentially disabled post-lobotomy, needing assistance just to get dressed.

I imagine it may depend on the area. China’s a big, varied, ever-changing place.
