The traffic is busy, the neon lights are flashing, and the brightly lit building is full of tired office workers.
The sunrise is made, the sunset rests, watching the flowers fall in front of the court, the clouds are rolling and comfortable, and it is extremely comfortable.
Looking at it, there are two extreme states of life.
Most people fall in love with Li Ziqi and her videos just to find a "habitat" for their souls.
She condenses the four seasons into beautiful videos.
Cooking traditional food, making the four treasures of the study, dyeing cloth and making clothes, and doing it yourself.
Li Ziqi became popular, and countless people rushed to imitate her, but they never learned her essence.
Many people questioned Li Ziqi's idyllic songs and felt that she was posing.
In fact, behind this pastoral aesthetics, there are countless bitterness of Li Ziqi.
The ultimate in oriental aesthetics
In 2015, Li Ziqi's appearance brought a touch of tranquility to the online world full of impetuousness and showing off wealth.
In the spring, she sows seeds in the fields and sows hope.
In summer, when the melons and fruits are ripe, she makes fruit drinks and candied fruits.
In autumn, she makes roasted persimmons and brews osmanthus wine, and the grapefruit on her head is huge and golden, which is very attractive.
In winter, there was a desert and she carried a basket on her back in search of nature's gifts, followed by a group of loyal little ones.
She records the ordinary life of the countryside and her grandmother all year round.
But the seemingly ordinary pastoral life is very different from facing the loess with its back to the sky.
Her rural courtyard is full of poetry, and oriental aesthetics are hidden in every little corner.
She raised a yard of flowers, all of which varied, and each season saw a different bloom.
The flowers in the room and on the table also change with the season, and sometimes some wildflowers are picked on the way.
Flowers are not only ornamental, she also uses them as food.
She grows vegetables, fruits, and grains by herself.
Every time I go to the vegetable garden, I always pick a bunch of fresh vegetables.
The sun was shining on her body, and the woven bamboo basket was already full of emerald green okra.
When you go home, you go through different treatments and turn them into delicious dishes that are served on the table.
If you can't finish it, you can marinate it or air dry it, and take it as you go.
In modern society, everyone uses the oven to make bread, or goes directly to the bakery to buy it.
Li Ziqi built a stove by himself, which is a cute cartoon image.
Every time I watched her take bread from the stove, I felt full of appetite.
At the dinner table, she and her grandmother sat together and enjoyed the food.
Each cutlery is exquisitely conceived and goes in perfect harmony with the food of the day.
In addition to these, Li Ziqi is also committed to promoting traditional Chinese culture.
Cultural Ambassador
Li Ziqi in the video is omnipotent.
She went up the mountain to cut bamboo, pulled it back to make bamboo beds, and cut them into bamboo strips to make other living utensils.
Her plant juice dyes the cloth and oxidizes it with air to change it to the desired color.
After the dyeing of the cloth is successful, the design is carefully cut and made into clothes.
The leftover grape skins can be transformed into magic in her hands.
A light purple sundress, dancing in the wind, surrounded by purple flowers, and a puppy sitting next to it.
Who would have thought that this was a purely handmade dress if not.
I'm afraid everyone will think that this is from a big brand.
In her spare time, she carefully matches silk threads and engages in embroidery.
Exquisite patterns are woven with needles and threads, restoring traditional Chinese aesthetics.
Since ancient times, girls have loved beauty.
From ancient times to the present, cosmetics have also gone through the changes of the generations.
A variety of big brands, a variety of functions and colors to meet the needs of different groups of people.
But Li Ziqi has made his own rouge and lipstick, and the raw materials are all taken from nature.
She even commented that she had created the "Four Treasures of the Study" by herself.
The raw materials of the brushes are taken from wool, and each one is carefully selected.
The ink was made by her holding a bamboo stick and stirring it hundreds of times.
In papermaking, she started cutting and picking the bark of a dead tree, and beating it repeatedly in the water, which was a cumbersome process.
She carefully polished the inkstone, knocked and beat, and made patterns with great difficulty.
Painting with your own pen, ink, paper, and inkstone is a feeling that is difficult for ordinary people to experience.
In addition to the Four Treasures of the Study, she also reproduced the printing technique.
The ancient Qushui Liuzhen is also easy to come by, and it is placed in your own yard, which has a unique flavor.
Seeing such a life, I believe that there is no one who will not envy it.
Of course, there are also many doubts that Li Ziqi has a team behind him and is cheating.
But in fact, there are many unknown stories behind Li Ziqi.
Her current life is all based on her own hard work.
If you look closely, you will find that the "gifts" of labor are in the subtleties.
Bitter dolls
Coming from a rural background, she is accustomed to life in the fields.
Her family of origin was unhappy, her parents divorced, and her father remarried.
The stepmother often abused her and wanted to kill her.
Fortunately, grandparents love their granddaughters.
After learning about this, the grandparents took Li Ziqi back.
The grandparents are old, but they don't love a lot at all.
In addition to farming, they will weave bamboo baskets and make fans in their free time.
The meager income is like this for Li Ziqi to grow up.
When he was a child, Li Ziqi was also very sensible.
When her grandparents went to work in the fields, she followed behind her to learn, and when she learned it, she rushed to do it.
Rice is planted in the field, the rice is harvested at maturity, and the rice is milled into grain.
When I went home to chop wood and cook, I mastered a lot of life skills at a young age.
When he was in the fifth grade, his grandfather's death caused a big blow to Li Ziqi.
Later, grandma could no longer afford Li Ziqi's tuition and had no choice but to drop out of school.
In order to support his family, Li Ziqi broke into the big city alone.
Sleeping on bridges, parks, and hungry are all common things.
Go to the restaurant to serve dishes, go to the bar to DJ, and live a long life.
In 2014, her grandmother suddenly fell ill, and she turned around and returned to her hometown.
Companionship alone is not enough, she also has to earn money to pay for her grandmother's medical treatment.
Shooting videos became her best choice.
Shooting video is not a simple task.
Everyone just saw her leisurely and free in front of the camera, glamorous and beautiful.
But I don't know how much effort she put into shooting the video.
Lanzhou ramen exploded
At first, Li Ziqi's video effect was not very good.
It wasn't until 2016 that she became popular through a video of making Lanzhou ramen.
In the video, she is fluent, and every movement is very skillful.
In fact, for this bowl of noodles, she studied with the master for a month.
When she returned, she honed the essence of it herself.
In order to present a better visual effect, she repeated an action many times.
The shutter was pressed again and again, and more than 20 catties of flour were wasted.
The discarded flour was made into flatbread and naan, and I ate it for nearly half a month.
However, it was worth the effort.
The number of video views exceeded 50 million, and the number of fans skyrocketed.
With this video, Li Ziqi became a household name blogger.
In the shot, she sits on a swing surrounded by a gauze tent, her skirt dances in the wind, and she reads a book.
Leisurely and elegant, waiting for the years to pass, which is the envy of countless people.
But in fact, in order to shoot "Swing", Li Ziqi shot more than 600 pieces of material, and the memory exploded.
Shooting for 5 days, editing for 2 days, repeating the editing 5 times, the software crashed, and she still persisted.
At that time, she vowed never to cut such a troublesome video again.
But in fact, she has always adhered to her original intention and carefully made videos.
Cooking a dish may be recorded from the time the rapeseed takes root and sprouts.
Making silk quilts is recorded from raising silkworm babies.
Each process, she will be presented in the video.
And these tasks are very complex and delicate, and the physical strength must be able to keep up, and the brain must be taken into account.
Everyone said that her video was too fake, how could rural people be so beautiful, and how could life be so exquisite.
In fact, there are a lot of scars caused by farm work.
She is proficient in the use of various props, and she will also accidentally leave a scar.
After soaking his hands in water for a long time and doing all kinds of rough work, he was already wrinkled and rough.
Looking at her hands, they are no different from ordinary peasant women.
It's just that she has turned her life into a flower.
She dreams that countless social animal workers can find a little solace in their videos.
Her success is hard to replicate.
Viet Nam version of Li Ziqi
In the aftermath of the fire, some friends who claimed to be "like-minded" came to her side and wanted to walk side by side with her.
She believed.
It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable.
As the road gets farther and farther, everyone's goals are no longer the same.
Some people want to cut vermicelli leeks, and some people struggle to move forward with their original dreams.
Capital was despicable and ruthlessly shattered her dreams.
She was unwilling to give in, and Li Ziqi's account fell silent.
The two parties continued to pull and finally reached a settlement under the mediation of the court.
In July 2021, Li Ziqi made his first appearance after the lawsuit.
She sent the blessings of rural revitalization to everyone at the Farmers' Harvest Festival.
In March this year, Li Ziqi gave an explanation for the suspension of Weibo.
She will still be on the road of promoting intangible cultural heritage, but she will present these things from a different perspective.
epilogue
The brief disappearance is for a better return.
I hope that Li Ziqi will always stick to his heart and bring good-looking works to everyone.
