After three years of silence, Li Ziqi finally made a comeback. Her latest video on YouTube has been played more than six million times, and fans from all over the world are celebrating her return in the comment area.
I saw the American magazine Wired report the news of Li Ziqi's return these days. The article was titled: The Chinese Queen of Cottagecore Has Suddenly Reappeared After Three Years
The author called Li Ziqi the Chinese queen of cottagecore, which is a very subtle expression. Cottagecore is a word that has become popular in the UK and the US in recent years. It is a combination of cottage and core. The definition of the word is:
Cottagecore is an aesthetic that celebrates simple living, particularly in the countryside. It encourages a lifestyle rooted in traditional skills — like baking bread, gardening, and sewing your own clothes.Cottagecore is an aesthetic that celebrates simple living, particularly in the countryside. It encourages a lifestyle rooted in traditional skills — like baking bread, gardening, and sewing your own clothes. Simply put, cottagecore advocates people to return to rural life and handicrafts, which can be translated as "pastoral aesthetics". This aesthetic style emerged in the UK and the US after 2010 and is especially popular among young people. The popularity of cottagecore also reflects the younger generation's boredom with the high-pressure, fast-paced city life. They turn to pursue a simple rural lifestyle, and Li Ziqi's videos just embody this lifestyle. The queen of XX in the title is a fixed combination used to describe women who have achieved top levels in a certain field. The Chinese queen of cottagecore can be understood as "the queen of Chinese pastoral aesthetics." The article begins with the following sentence: After more than 1,200 days of silence, Li Ziqi, arguably the most successful internet influencer from China on YouTube, is suddenly posting videos again. Earlier this week, the 34-year-old content creator, who is best-known for sharing soothing, meticulously edited clips of herself cooking traditional Chinese dishes, farming, and working on elaborate art projects, posted three new videos of her bucolic lifestyle to all of her social media channels.
After more than 1,200 days of silence, Li Ziqi, arguably the most successful Chinese blogger on YouTube, is suddenly posting videos again. She is arguably the most successful Chinese blogger on YouTube. The 34-year-old content creator is known for sharing her videos of cooking traditional Chinese dishes, farming, and working on elaborate art projects, with a soothing and calm style and well-edited content. Li Ziqi posted three new videos about her bucolic life to all of her social media channels. In the sentence, arguably is a word that often appears in foreign magazines, and its meaning is equivalent to "it can be said that, probably", for example: He is arguably the world's best football player. He may be the best football player in the world. In the last sentence, bucolic means "pastoral, rural", and this word is often used in literary works to describe rural life. Another common word is pastoral, for example, the title of New Concept English 3 Lesson 41 is Illusions of Pastoral Peace. The word rustic can also be used to describe rural life, meaning "with a rural flavor", for example: The village had a certain rustic charm. This village had a charming pastoral style.
