A
China's Most Mysterious Internet Celebrity
Her life looks like one straight out of a fairy tale. Li Ziqi impresses millions with her videos, where she makes seemingly everything from scratch with her own two hands, from dying a dress with fresh grape juice to fashioning traditional lipstick from roses in her garden.
To find Li, we had to travel to rural Sichuan Province in southwestern China, where she grew up. Li grew up with her grandparents here. She says she came to live with them after her stepmother mistreated her. But they were poor, so when she turned 14, Li went to work in the city. In 2012, she decided to return to the countryside to take care of her grandmother.
Four years later, she started filming her life there. The dishes she prepares range from a single condiment（调味料）to make multi-course meals. But whatever she makes, she leaves no stone unturned, going as far as raising baby ducklings just to make a sauce out of salted duck eggs. Some joke that she's brought a whole new meaning to the phrase "from scratch."
Some of her other recipes are wholly original. In one video, she uses magnolia flowers to make pastries and even deep-fries the flowers themselves. Apart from food, she's also known for her videos demonstrating traditional crafts, like building this bamboo furniture set, which she says was inspired by one of her grandfather's old benches. Li's stylized depictions of rural life stand out in China's competitive field of online videos. But some viewers have been skeptical of her saying that she started as a one-woman band. Two years ago, Li posted a behind-the-scenes video to disprove those claims.
Li says she now works with one videographer and one assistant, but she's still the one calling the shots. We weren't able to confirm these claims because we were not allowed to observe Li filming. But today, three years after she first picked up the camera, Li is one of China's most successful online video makers.
