Many people always feel that life in the countryside should be simple and aloof. Therefore, self-media platforms like Huanong Brothers, which are almost smooth and layered, are easier for people to accept. But there is one person who wants to go against everyone and turn rural life into a paradise. A bumper harvest of vegetables and fruits, simple and simple times, just take a photo to create a beautiful antique wallpaper.
In today's convenient life, her videos often convey a positive attitude towards life, which can be summed up in one sentence: do it yourself and live without worries. Everyone can guess who this person is. There is a daughter in the Liu family, and she is honored as Ziqi. Li Ziqi is from Mianyang, Sichuan. As a post-90s generation, she has experienced much more than most people.
Her videos brought a beam of light to many people, but her own childhood was dark and lackluster. In a short time, Li Ziqi's parents divorced. He died when he was 4 years old. When he was 6 years old, his stepmother dragged him by his hair and pushed him into the drain. He was beaten to death. Li Ziqi's elders felt sorry for their granddaughter and took her home to live with her. Later, her grandfather also passed away.
This is also the reason why an elderly person often appears in Li Ziqi’s videos nowadays, that is her most cherished and only family member. Many people may not know that Li Ziqi lived a completely different life before she became a beautiful and ancient goddess. At the age of fourteen, Li Ziqi went to a big city to work as a waitress in a restaurant. Her salary of only 300 yuan was not enough to support her family. After that, she began to look for other job opportunities.
A picture was circulated on the Internet. Li Ziqi is wearing a leather jacket and pleated skirt, with long and curly hair, and her makeup is much thicker than now. The beautiful and ancient goddess used to be a DJ in the city? Many people expressed their disapproval, and this picture inexplicably became her "black material". In fact, who hasn’t had a past? DJing is not some shabby job, it’s all about making ends meet.
She was considered Xiaoli at that time, but her life was very hard and she was not happy. What finally gave Li Ziqi the confidence to return to the village was her family. When she was twenty-two years old, her grandma got seriously ill, so Li Ziqi immediately left everything behind and rushed home. In order to avoid the regret of "the child wants to be raised but the family does not wait for him", Li Ziqi never thought about leaving and continued to make a living in his hometown of Mianyang.
Setting up a street stall, getting out of bed, and opening a Taobao store, the work pressure of life is no less relaxed than in big cities. But at least she can take care of her grandma personally, and she can continue no matter how hard her life is. When she was 26 years old, she accidentally saw her nephew playing and singing on a Meipai video, and gained many fans. In order to expand the popularity of her Taobao store, she began to try cooking videos.
Originally, children in rural areas have already been in charge of their own affairs, so cooking is not too difficult for them, but Li Ziqi also has an innate advantage. Her grandfather was a country cook, that is, the person who was responsible for cooking when there were wedding banquets or other important events in the village. Li Ziqi has been following his grandfather since he was a child, and he also has a taste of cooking techniques.
After experiencing many unsuccessful videos, a "Kirsch" video was unexpectedly seen by the CEO of Meipai Video. Not only did it like it, it was also pushed to the popular homepage. With the Internet as a corporate shareholder style, Li Ziqi gradually became popular. In a period when information content is rapidly upgrading. It is easy to be popular; it is difficult to be popular all the time.
Many people try their best but only gain 15 minutes of fame. The matter of replacing and being replaced happens every day. However, for Li Ziqi, is it strength or good luck? After one or two popular selfie videos, Li Ziqi's single video views have remained stable at the 5 million level, and the number of fans on each platform has also shown explosive growth.
This is only the situation in China. On foreign video websites, the popularity of Li Ziqi’s open cultural soft power can be equal to 1,000 CGTN (China Global Television Station). There are even Thais and Vietnamese who imitate the whole process from beginning to end and get hundreds of thousands of views. Although her video does not have English dubbing or external subtitles, foreign media are still crazy about it even if they don't understand it.
"I hope you and your grandma will be healthy and happy for a long time. I love watching your videos the most." "Watching this video made me cry. This is the life a person should have." Rely on The profits from e-commerce and video playback are conservatively estimated to be over 30 million per year. Some people live a cookie-cutter life, while some people live a colorful life. Eat bamboo shoots in spring; pick lotus roots in summer; laugh with chestnuts in autumn; boil brown sugar in winter.
In addition, she also showed strong self-learning ability in the video. You think she just wanted to cut down trees, but instead she restored the ancient invention of papermaking. After all, there is nothing that Li Ziqi can't create. He is afraid that one day he will suddenly make explosives and go out to collect the four major inventions. Some people have made such comments in the past: "Li Ziqi's video is like a window. Through this window, I saw my childhood friends running on the field, catching fish by the river, and picking wild fruits on the mountain top." Happy time. It seems that I have temporarily escaped from the normalcy of life and felt a peace that is not my own."
Does Li Ziqi have a team? This is something that everyone has always cared about, and it is also the thing that made her website hacked. Although I don't understand why everyone cares so much, at least until she has to stop updating, she is indeed a person. Put the camera on a tree and put it on a chair.
I guarantee that I need to wash my hands and disinfect half of the time. Watch the video. It’s important to click on the button to come and go. A video of "Lanzhou Ramen", which is just a part of beef ramen, took more than 200 shots in one go. Even so, or some people scolded her for being fake, Li Ziqi chose to stop updating. It's not because she can't bear the pressure of the environment, it's directly because of her grandma.
One day, Li Ziqi was discussing the rumored matter with her friends in the room. Overheard by her grandma, she got distracted while chopping vegetables and injured her hand. She said: Let’s save some money in the future. , please don’t do this work. Li Ziqi reflected on herself for a long time that day, leaving everyone behind to go home to wait for her, but she was injured because of herself. But now she finally no longer worries about this matter.
Yes, she announced that she had found an assistant and a cameraman, and that she had an elite team. No matter how persistent they are, there will still be some people who only choose to see what they want to see and recognize what they feel. Recruiting a powerful assistant can actually use more professional knowledge and skills to shoot what you want and bring better videos to everyone.
She was the one who left the country, her thoughts were also hers, and she was the one who controlled the video editing in the middle and later stages. Judging from the rough hands with bloody fingernails seen in the video, we know that the stuntman is also out of the question. Even if there is an elite team, how can we fake it? Facts also prove that with the help of an elite team and persistence in doing her own thing, she has moved to a higher performance stage step by step.
In March 2019, she came to Malaysia to meet and communicate with the royal family. In October, as the Chengdu Intangible Cultural Heritage Promotion Ambassador, she went to the Georgian Cultural Heritage Bureau to communicate with authoritative experts. At this time, she was only 28 years old. Some people praise Li Ziqi as a "little fairy", but she even wants to call herself a "land resource fairy".
“The life skills in your eyes may just be other people’s instinctive reaction to survive in desperate situations.” There is no doubt that rural life is a bitter side, but Li Ziqi chose to cut out the happy side and show it in the video. When people see her videos, they feel healed rather than heavy. Maybe we could be less speculating and questioning. Life is already very tiring, so it would be nice to enjoy this moment of relaxation. What do you think?
