Chinese Culture
Nov 12 • 409 read
Li Ziqi, she is a Chinese internet celebrity who became famous by documenting her self-sufficient style of living in rural Sichuan Province.
She was orphaned at a young age and lived with her grandparents until adulthood. After spending multiple years working as a DJ in a big city, she returned to the rural areas to take care of her grandmother after her grandfather passed away.
Using traditional techniques, Ziqi has shown an incredible ability to whip up food and other creations from scratch using only what’s around her.
Creating lipstick from scratch using flowers from nearby mountains? Check
Making a brush and ink from harvested sheep hair and plants? Check
Making tofu, soy sauce, and even an oven from scratch? Check
Not to mention various cooked meals without going to the supermarket? Check
Ziqi has over 58 million fans around the world on social media but has continued on her campaign to show the world a glimpse of Chinese culture that seems to be fading away fast.
In her videos, she rarely talks when working and tech devices are mostly never shown. This stands in stark contrast with what our society looks like today, with million addicted to their phones constantly.
I’m proud that she is trying to display a different style of life that is still being lived by people in rural areas. It is easy to forget how easy we live today compared to our ancestors' hundreds of years back. All of us need to take time and really reflect on that.
We should stop living so harmoniously with our devices and stop taking nature for granted. It is really amazing how far you can go just by living off Mother Nature’s gifts.
