My bonsai lost all its old leaves but it grew some new ones. Is it fine?

Clearly it is not fine. It has lost its leaves.
Untill you figure out why, you are at risk of it happening again.

What can i do?

I think we need much more information before that question can be answered accurately in a helpful way. how long have you owned it, where do you keep it, where do you live, is it summer or winter there? Is it a microcarpa Ginsing ficus? when do you water? has it been going dormant every winter as it should? have you been moving it around, inside/outside/this or that window? are you fertilizing to often?

I have never had one but my fig ficus lives in a window and has lost its leaves the past three years in the winter and then they grow back in the spring. I asume that your questionable face means that the ginseng ficus is more of a tropical ficus? The ginseng plant is native to the Carolina's in the States and it does get a bit cold there.? I should add a signature to all of my posts

Ginseng has NOTHING to do with a ginseng plant
A fig that drops its leaves has typically experienced some form of shock, be it being moved into a very different (drier) environment, drying out of the rootball or something similar. It is NOT normal for a fig to drop the leaves in winter.

Ginseng Panax spp. and fig Ficus spp. are completely different types of plants.
Ginseng ficus is a variety of fig F. microcarpa, so called, because the bulbous root is similar to ginseng.

And ginseng, the perennial, grows all over the northern hemisphere, not just Carolina.

Am I the only one that has a ficus lose leaves every year but remain alive? No shock occurred other than the sun getting further away in the winter. It will lose every single leaf around October-November and be leafless until early early spring. This is the only ficus I have owned.

I know Ginseng is native to many other areas. I was pointing out (worthlessly) That it gets colder there and the plant thrives. I knew that the two species were completely different, but assumed the tree and plant shared some characteristics. Now that you say it, the roots make perfect sense for a relational namesake. My roots look very similar to bulbous ginseng, and they swell and grow fast under the soil.

That's fine. It does mean you should be a bit more careful with your statements and verify them first - like I normally do.
