Question

Who is Li Ziqi? For 7 million YouTube viewers and 20 million Weibo users, it’s easy to answer. The 29-year-old vlogger’s videos about her country life recently went viral (走红). Her fans call her “the goddess of nature”.

She is worthy of this title. Cooking, painting, designing, farming ... she practises and is master of many kinds of skills. In her videos, Li wears hanfu that she made herself. She also rears silkworms in order to sew quilts. Li grows plants as well. She is often seen preparing meals with vegetables picked from her backyard. She eats a seasonal diet.

“She performs the work of a farmer with the grace (优雅) of a fairy (仙子),” the South China Morning Post said.

Li was raised by her grandparents in a small village in Sichuan province. When she was 14, she went to the city to work, but returned to the countryside in 2012 to take care of her sick grandmother.

To make a living, Li runs an online store. At first, she just used her videos to advertise her products. But the simple pleasures she presented quickly won her many fans. “In such a tech-driven age, where everything comes so quickly, it’s beautiful to watch such a slow process unfold (展现) without her getting stressed,” one of her fans said online.

For her global audience, what is even more interesting is Li’s deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. “I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I never thought of preserving (保存) meat like that!” one foreign fan wrote on YouTube.

As China Daily said, Li shows the world that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of the simplest materials. With her videos, she has spread Chinese culture to the world.
