Li Ziqi, the world-renowned Chinese content creator, became a global cultural icon for her beautifully shot videos depicting a self-sufficient, pastoral life in rural Sichuan. While her content is primarily aesthetic and calming, it birthed a meme subculture focused on the contrast between her extraordinary skills—like making silk from cocoons or building elaborate furniture—and the viewer's own mundane city life. These memes often highlight the 'Li Ziqi Effect,' where watching her for just a few minutes inspires a sudden, unrealistic urge to quit one's job and become a master artisan in the mountains. Following her long hiatus and highly anticipated return in 2024, the meme format gained new life as fans celebrated her status as the ultimate 'final boss' of the DIY and cottagecore communities.
