After releasing a short video on April 27th about planting and cooking peas, Chinese food blogger Li Ziqi witnessed her followers on YouTube go beyond 10 million.
This puts Li, who is famous for short videos recording her traditional lifestyle in China’s countryside, among the list of the most popular Chinese-language content creators on the Internet. She was surprised by how foreign netizens were attracted by her works.
“What I present is just a lifestyle I’ve long followed and enjoyed,” she said. “Maybe it’s also what many other people have valued.”
Li’s YouTube videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province. In the videos, Li, often dressed in beautiful traditional clothes, rises at sunrise, rests at set, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese dishes and makes bamboo furniture.
Unlike many other food bloggers, Li’s videos set China’s countryside as the stage and start with how the foods are planted and harvested in the farm. She rarely speaks in the process.
Li’s overseas followers have praised her videos for showing the amazing pictures, simple and elegant side of China's rural life.
“In the countryside, planting flowers, vegetables and trees is not difficult. There are difficult parts of rural life of course, but I didn’t put them in my videos,” the blogger said. “Most people today are facing huge stress in work and life, so I hope they can feel relaxed when watching my videos.”
