Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, cooking soy sauce from scratch and cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes.
It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec 14, 2019 she won Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.
With a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million followers on video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. "I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture," the vlogger told China.org.cn. "Much of the popularity of my videos can be attributed to the attraction of Chinese culture.'
Li seems to be a master of all kinds of skills - cooking, paining, designing and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired wok (锅). A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China's traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.
“She told the stories of China's culture and that of China," the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Zigi also comes from her "passion for life, for her home and for her culture".
Indeed, Li's simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities.
"In today's society, many feel stressed," she told the South China Moming Post. "When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress."
