Some netizens said that Korean netizens have always regarded China Hanfu as a cultural product of South Korea, and Li, as the Asian video blogger with the highest number of subscriptions in the pipeline, completely attacked Korean netizens with such a hand-made Hanfu video. In fact, is this the first time that Li has confronted Korean netizens who are eloquent?
At the beginning of 20021,a video preview of Li making New Year decorations and food attracted the attention of Korean netizens. South Korean netizens left a message under Li Zikai's video, saying that the kimchi presented in the video is a traditional Korean snack, and Li Zikai's behavior is a blatant plagiarism of Korean culture.
In this rehearsal, Li simply showed the audience the process of making kimchi. The video never talked about the "nationality" of kimchi from beginning to end. In fact, "Kimchi" itself came from China. Although China pays less attention to kimchi than South Korea, there are many representative kimchi in many cities in China. So South Korea's "kimchi" is basically nothing to us.
Li Zikai didn't give any explanation for the arrogance of Korean netizens, but the video feature film released to the foreign network later used English "Chinese New Year's soup and snacks!" China New Year decorations and snacks. Not only did we directly swear that "pickles" and "persimmon" belonged to China, but we also called on Amway, a foreign friend, to celebrate our traditional festival.
As a food blogger with a Guinness record number of off-line subscribers, Li has been working hard for the cultural export of China for many years. Brush and ink, traditional China cuisine, traditional national costumes, rural scenery and other cultural elements full of China customs are frequent visitors in Li's video. Many foreign netizens fell in love with China because of these videos with China characteristics made by Li.
In Li's video, she is like a fairy living in heaven. She keeps company with mountains and rivers all day long and is close to fruits and vegetables. But the ideal Li has nothing to do with the "fairy" she created, and her life is more miserable than most people.
1990 In July, Li was born in a small village in Mianyang, Sichuan. Shortly after Li was born, her mother divorced her father because she couldn't stand the torture of poverty, and her whereabouts were unknown. In order to improve his family, Li's father gave Li to his grandmother and went out to work. Four or five years later, Li's father returned to his hometown in Mianyang with an unfamiliar woman, and asked Li to call the unfamiliar woman "mom" as soon as he entered the door.
Li's stepmother was kind to Li when she first got home. She not only bought new clothes for Li and grandma, but also took Li to the county town several times. However, after Li's father went out to work again, the true face of his stepmother gradually surfaced. She not only asked Li, who was only five years old, to wash clothes and bedding piled higher than her, but also asked Li to go up the mountain to fight pig grass every day, and he was not allowed to go home until he hit 20 kilograms.
In addition to doing something beyond her power, Li also became her stepmother's "punching bag". As long as her stepmother is in a bad mood, she will punch and kick Li. In the cold winter, the stepmother often makes Li, who is young and poorly dressed, stand alone at the door of the kitchen at night and look at sausages and bacon hanging in the yard, without giving food or sleeping. If Li gets up in the middle of the night and is caught napping by her stepmother, she will be beaten and scolded again. ...
Perhaps it is the reason for the lack of maternal love since childhood. Li didn't realize that her stepmother's behavior was "preferential treatment". She just thought her stepmother was a little too strict when she was young. Naive Li thought that as long as I was obedient enough, my stepmother would like me. So no matter how much the stepmother goes too far, she will grit her teeth and stick to it, because that is her "mother".
Li spent four years in this torment of being scolded by her stepmother every day. It was not until the news of the accidental death of his father who worked outside the home came back home that his stepmother took all his father's pension, and Li returned to his grandmother to live with her.
Accompanied and protected by her grandmother, LESLEY had a very happy time. But with the passage of time, grandma is getting older and older, and she can't work in the fields to earn money. In order to reduce the burden on grandma and get rid of poverty at home, fourteen-year-old Li made an amazing decision-to stop studying and working.
When Li Gang came to work, life was very difficult. Because of her young age and low education, almost no employer dares to hire her. During that time, in order to save money, Li slept on a park bench for a week or two, but she never slept a wink, because people wandering around stared at her with malicious eyes.
Finally, out of pity, the owner of a restaurant near the park who often delivers meals to homeless Chinese gave Li his first job in life, working as a waiter in that restaurant with a monthly salary of 300 packs of food and accommodation.
In the next few years, I will learn Li's new skills while working. From restaurant waiters to construction workers; From night DJ to wedding planning; From copywriting assistant to video editing, Li does everything well because she is constantly learning and improving.
It was not until 20 12 that grandma was dying that Li suddenly realized that the outside world, no matter how wonderful, could not compare with the happy time with grandma. After thinking for a long time, Li Ziqi gritted his teeth and resigned and went back to his hometown in Mianyang to take care of his grandmother. When Li Nainai recovered almost, she calmed down and thought about how to continue her life in the future.
The period from 20 12 to 20 15 was the high-yield era of "internet celebrities", and it was at this time that Li had the idea of becoming an "internet celebrity". But what she wants to do is not the kind of "mass network celebrity" who promotes health by showing high face value, basks in simple products and covers popular songs, but a unique "featured network celebrity".
Using some skills I learned during my part-time job, Li started his own "road to online celebrity". Different from other online celebrities, there are no "funny jokes" or "practical jokes" in the videos shot by Li. She just quietly makes various hand-made shapes in soothing light music.
From building a pavilion with a swing, making a dress with grape skins, to building a traditional sink and making a cartoon-shaped pit stove; From homemade canned sweet and sour fruit to ancient refined osmanthus lotus root powder as pen, ink and paper, to handmade Hanfu and head noodles, Li can conquer netizens again and again with powerful hands.
The most different center between Li and other "internet celebrities" is her source of income. The income of ordinary "network celebrities" mainly consists of two parts, one is the reward given by netizens during live broadcast, and the other is the commission given by merchants after selling goods during live broadcast.
Li's economic benefits are also composed of two parts, one part is to earn profits by selling "Li" brand food, and the other part is the subscription fee of external video websites. It is understood that only foreign video websites pay tens of millions of subscription fees to Li every year.
Li's popularity really depends on the rapid spread of the Internet. She is an out-and-out internet celebrity. But the central difference between her and other online celebrities is that she never uses "topics" to arouse her enthusiasm, but uses her enthusiasm to spread the excellent traditional culture and traditional cuisine of China.
In order to reward Li's great contribution to China's cultural export and the promotion of traditional food, in 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China hired him and six candidates, including Yuan Nongping, Shen Jilan, Feng Gong, Hai Xia and Feng Jicai, as "ambassadors for the implementation of China Farmers' Harvest Festival".
As an authoritative food blogger with the highest number of subscriptions from foreign fans, what Li is doing is to stop the cultural output with temperature. She showed the excellent China culture and China cuisine to the world, and made more and more foreigners know and yearn for China.
Only network celebrities like Li deserve real "red"!
Unfortunately, we only produced a "plum".
