Who is Li Ziqi(李子柒) ? The 29-year-old vlogger's videos about her countryside life becomes so hot these days. Her fans call her “the goddess of nature”.

What makes her so popular? Cooking, painting, designing, farming... 65.It seems that she lives a quiet but colorful life. In her videos, Li wears Hanfu that she made herself. She also rears silkworms(养蚕) to sew(缝制)quilts. She even makes lipstick(口红)with roses she grows. She also uses fruits picked from her own garden to make wine.

Li grew up in a small village in Sichuan province. When she was 14, she went to the city to work. But she soon went back to the countryside so that she could take care of her sick grandmother.

To make a living, Li started an online store. At first, she just used her videos to show her products. But her simple lifestyle quickly won many fans for her.现在人们认为观看她的视频是放松的最佳方式。

For her fans who are from foreign countries, they feel more interested in Li's deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. “I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I didn't know I could cook meat like that until I finished watching her video.” one foreign fan wrote on YouTube excitedly.

As China Daily said, Li shows the world that Chinese people enjoy life, love good food and are good at making art out of the simplest materials. With her videos, she really makes the world learn more about Chinese culture. 她还建议外国朋友来中国吃美食。 She did not praise China with a single word, but she did a good job showing real beautiful life in China.

You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?

Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions《红楼梦》),written by Cao Xueqin (1715-1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it comes to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.

Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds (背景)in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.

The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy (悲剧)that everyone would understand.

The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes (服装)and stage settings (布景).He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.

The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.
