Who is LiZiqi? For 7 million YouTube viewers and 20 million Weibo users, it's easy to answer. The 29-year-old vlogger's videos about her country life recently went viral (走红). Her fans call her" the goddess of nature".

She is worthy of this title. Cooking, painting, designing, farming…she practises and is master of many kinds of skills. In her videos, Li wears hanfu that she made herself. She also rears silkworms in order to sew quilts. Li grows plants as well. She is often seen preparing meals with vegetables picked from her backyard. She eats a seasonal diet. "She performs the work of a farmer with the grace(优雅) of a fairy(仙子),"the South China Morning Post said.

Li was raised by her grandparents in a small village in Sichuan province. When she was 14, she went to the city to work, but returned to the countryside in 2012 to take care of her sick grandmother.

To make a living, Li runs an online store. At first, she just used her videos to advertise her products. But the simple pleasures she presented quickly won her many fans. "In such a tech-driven age, where everything comes so quickly, it's beautiful to watch such a slow process unfold(展现) without her getting stressed," one of her fans said online.

For her global audience, what is even more interesting is Li's deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. "I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I never thought of preserving(保存)meat like that!" one foreign fan wrote on YouTube.

As China Daily said, Li shows the world that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of the simplest materials. With her videos, she has spread Chinese culture to the world.

My name is Tim. Daddy didn't know how to show love. He went to work every day and blamed (责备) me for the mistakes I had made when he came home.

Once I broke my leg and it was Mum who held me in her arms all the way to the hospital.

Later, Dad pulled the car right up to the door of the hospital.

They asked him to move it, saying the space was saved for the ambulance(救护车). Dad shouted, “What do you think this is? A tour bus?”

At my birthday parties, Dad always seemed out of place. He just kept himself busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables, and welcoming the guests. It was Mum who carried the cake with the candles on it for me to blow out.

When I learned to ride a bike, I asked him not to leave me alone, but he said it was time. I fell and Mum ran to pick me up, but he stopped her. I was so mad that I showed him that I could ride it myself. He just smiled.

When I went to college, Mum did all the writing. He just sent money and a little note about how great his garden looked now just because I wasn't playing football on it.

Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk but always said, “Wait, Tim. I'll get your mother.”

When I got married, Mum cried.

He just blew his nose loudly and left the room.
