Li Ziqi's channel is essentially the manifestation of the romanticization of rural life by urbanites. And the oriental-esque aesthetics of her videos have made it more appealing to the Western Urban audience.

I can't imagine anyone thinking she's actually a rural girl. She clearly lives on a huge, gorgeous estate. Actual farmers don't have time to grow a thousand rose bushes. For reference, one peony or rose plant costs about $20

The biggest problem is that she didn’t own her name, her brand, even her YouTube channel! That’s why she can’t post bcs that’s all under her company(agent) ownership. She didn’t get all the money and she thought her company was taking advantage of her. That’s why she funded a new company under her own name (Li Jiajia) in 2019. And that’s when the war started between her and her company. She even posted few comments at the beginning implying her company was doing something bad behind her. I believe she was under some lawsuits right now so let’s see what happened next. For the record she made it clear many times on Weibo that she had a team help her make videos and she didn’t try to say that rural life is perfect. The point is to make everybody feel calm and relax while watching her video after a long hard-working day.

My colleague showed me her videos and was saying that she's making money from her man-made decorative sewing and making millions. But then I just watched her build a bamboo hut with her bare hands. So I'm like, if she's building everything by hand and cooking her own food and everything, how is she keeping her hands from going course? Like, if you ever stroked your hand down a silk blanket, you can tell immediately how damaged your hand is and ruining the silk at the same time. So if she's doing all that hard work by hand (wearing NO gloves for protection), how the hell can she keep her hands from NOT ruining her sewing? That basically shut my colleague up.

she’s like those guys who dig out swimming pools in the middle of the jungle with their bare hands. if only we can turn the camera around to reveal the army of production crew and equipment used to produce the fantasy.

My mother grew up in a very small ranching community (plus oil) in West Texas and my dad lived on a dairy farm in Vermont. The rural life is hard, very beautiful landscape, but an extremely difficult life for most Americans. Only city folk can romanticize living in a rural economy. Long days and short nights, usually people wake up at 4 in the morning.

She gives people peace and calm through her videos, in a world where too many deal with anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses, I think it's priceless. There are a lot of youtubers who also get millions of views per video and make tons of money promoting hurtful behaviors and ideas to the younger generation...Unfortunately this is how social media works if you get a lot views doing whatever, you make a lot of money and the platform will protect you (because they also make money through you).
I'm not surprised she has a lot money, with the numbers she gets with her videos it's a given. But I do hope she gets her fare share, she deserves it! She helps a lot of people with her content.
She does portray the chinese rural princess and shows us their traditions and old ways. Do I expect to see what she portrays if I were to travel to rural China? NO(maybe that's just me).
I see her videos as art, with beautiful cinematography. I don't follow her channel to watch a documentary.

I have been to China countless times. I have friends from rural areas. I have friends that were sent to rural areas for "education" during the Cultural Revolution. So I was pretty sure that Li Ziqi videos are eye candy, and that is what I watch them for. I know life is generally pretty hard in the rural areas When I watch her videos, I keep thinking, "This girl must be pretty wealthy. The common Chinese farmer wouldn't have much of that."

[minime]

There is a difference between this girl and an actress in a movie, the movie is sold as fiction. People posting vlogs on youtube are supposedly showing their own, genuine life.

[luxinfinity]

Bro, her simple message was "Create your own corner of Heaven!" She has helped so many people like me who are suffering from disabling illnesses. I have been mostly bed ridden for the past three years, when my recurrent desperation almost brought me to commit suicide, you have no idea how much her videos brought peace and love for life in my heart. Who cares if she has a business, nobody expects her to walk on water or raise the dead but what she did for me and other people like me is priceless. God bless her!

As an American I feel I can freely state that fantasy is something we are used to and mostly recognize. We've been offered up the fantasy life since the inception of television. Fantasy families living fantasy lives with their fantasy friends. It is a constant in our culture. I think most Americans view Liziqi's shows the same way, a delightful fantasy that makes you feel good. But clearly are no more real than flying monks bouncing through the trees. Her perfect manicure alone ought to tell you that. Farmer? Oh please...

[HankRearden]

Oh dear that CCP “rap” was delightfully terrible.

[truenorthstrongandfree]

I’ve been experiencing rural China by Motorcycle for over 10 years now and I fully agree with the comments in this article. I too watch her videos as I find them quite interesting but knowing full well that their just fantasy land productions. Her entire film crew do a phenomenal job of putting her fiction to film and then post it. You never see her driving around in her high-end sports car or spending any time at her oceanfront villa. Ah yes, Smoke and mirrors for which China is famous, the land of the great façade.

[rebeccashields]

I love Liziqi! But certainly I don’t think she farms all of that land herself and does all of those things herself. Just the weeding alone would be multiple people’s full time job. But I love how she shares unique Chinese ingredients, plants, cooking, handicrafts. The fantasy is delightful. But it’s clearly entertainment and she has a huge team of people working with her to create it. And that doesn’t take away from her clearly awesome skills at cooking, farming, sewing, etc. Even if she’s showcasing the skills of others for a lot of it.

[AshleyLebedev]

I don’t think she’s ever said she’s trying to sell this is how it is. She’s just making beauty as an artist in the historical style of her culture.

[rikralph]

Never believed her videos to be real the first time I saw them. Her hands were simply too smooth for someone who's supposed to be doing physical labor all day.

[ascensionindustries]

The CCP using hip hop in propaganda videos is one of dumbest things I've ever seen. 😂

[ranjanbiswas]

I always felt like every Liziqi video are fake. No rural Chinese woman actually use serums and foundation and makeups while doing their hard labour jobs. She's a good actress.
