A Welcoming Way to Show China to the World

Modern life is not easy and full of stress. It will be nicer to get away from all the noise and congestion(拥挤)and live a simpler life in the countryside. This is what popular vlogger(网络视频录制者)Li Ziqi did.

Li was raised on a farm by her grandparents, but at the age of 14 she left the farm to work in the city. However, she found that city life was d1. and decided to move back to the countryside. “When I worked in the city, it was only about survival,” she said, “In the countryside, I am t2.living.”

When Li was back, she began making videos about her daily life and posting them to the Internet. She now has more than 20 million followers on Sina Weibo and over 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Her fans admire the way she makes e3. by herself: growing food and preparing traditional Chinese dishes, cutting down bamboo and making furniture, dyeing(染色)cloth and making her own clothes. The videos are beautifully made, but Li says she hopes her videos can provide people with e4. as well as fun. “I want people in the city to know where their food comes from. Some children b5. rice grows on trees!”

The idyllic(田园诗般的)countryside life Li shows has the magical power of making people feel comfortable and relaxed. When we talk about Chinese culture, the first things that come to many people might be bullet trains, 5G technology and fast-developing cities. However, it is actually the more traditional side of China that is much more a6. to people from other cultures. Through her videos, Li lets the world know that Chinese people are good at making works of a7. out of even the simplest materials — this is definitely a way to show China to the world.
