Her handmade life
李子柒在中國鄉村“造夢”
Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional hemp clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, cooking soy sauce from scratch and cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes.
想象一下，一位年輕的中國女子身著傳統的棉麻服飾，在田野間采花做腮紅的場景。而那位女子還能做竹沙發，從零開始釀醬油，做出各式各樣的美味佳肴。
It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec 14, she won Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.
這聽起來或許令人難以置信，但在現代中國確有其人，名為李子柒。12月14日，她被中國新聞周刊評為“2019年度文化傳播人物”。
With a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million followers on video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show off a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province."I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture," the vlogger told China.org.cn. "Much of the popularity of my videos can be attributed to the attraction of Chinese culture."
李子柒在四川拍攝的系列視頻展現了工業化之前的中式鄉村生活方式，并以此成名，她在新浪微博上擁有超過2100萬粉絲，在視頻分享網站優兔上的粉絲數量也達到了七百萬。“我想盡自己的一份力，讓更多人了解中華文化，”這位視頻博主在接受中國網采訪時表示。“我的視頻受到歡迎，大都也是因為中華文化的魅力。”
Li seems to be a master of all kinds of skills – cooking, painting, designing and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired wok. A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China's traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.
李子柒似乎精通各種技能 —— 廚藝、繪畫、設計以及農耕。她親自養蠶，為祖母做了床被子，還會種植物。很多視頻中都能看到她從自家花園里采摘時令食材，再在一口燒柴土灶上做菜。冬日里的一碗熱湯，夏日里的一小碗面條，李子柒的廚房也遵循著中國傳統二十四節氣的季節變化，做出各種時令美食。
"She told the stories of China's culture and that of China," the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Ziqi also comes from her "passion for life, for her home and for her culture".
“她講好了中國文化，講好了中國故事，”中央電視臺的官方微博賬號如此點評道。李子柒的成功同樣來源于她“對生活、對家鄉、對文化的熱愛”。
Indeed, Li's simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities. "She leads a life that many dream of, but don't dare to give up their current life in exchange for," iFeng.com wrote.
的確，李子柒簡單的快樂令過著繁忙都市生活的人們羨慕不已。“她過上了許多人不敢放棄現狀，用以交換的夢想生活，”鳳凰網寫道。
Her handmade lifestyle is a fantasy for many. "In today's society, many feel stressed," she told the South China Morning Post. "When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress."
她自給自足的生活方式對許多人而言就像是世外桃源。“現在的社會，許多人是很浮躁的，”她在接受《南華早報》采訪時表示。“所以我希望他們在忙碌一天之后，打開我的視頻能感到輕松和美好，能減輕一些焦慮和壓力感。”
