Chinese content creator Li Ziqi recently announced that she is making a comeback three years after her past contract dispute with her business partners.
The vlogger, previously known as the number one Chinese YouTuber, shared a new video on Weibo and YouTube on 12 November, saying that she is returning to her 25.49 million fans and now 20.1 million subscribers.
In the caption of the video, titled “Carved lacquer with hidden flowers, carrying auspiciousness”, Li stated, “This lacquer video is four years late. The Chinese pronunciation of lacquer is the same as ‘qi’.”
“I named this lacquerware hidden flowers “Zi Qi Dong Lai (the coming auspiciousness). I look back and wipe away all the sorrow. I send this wish to everyone who sees the video, I miss you very much,” it read.
Li became the top Chinese online celebrity in 2016 with her short videos, which were mostly about rural life. However, in 2021, she stopped updating due to a legal conflict with the multi-channel network partner MCN.
Her last video was in July 2021, which described the process of making salt.
Many expressed happiness over her return, as it also marked the return of familiar faces that were often featured in her videos. One commenter wrote, “When the world needed her the most, she returned. Welcome back.”
Another expressed, “Tears of so many emotions are flowing. I am so glad to see you back on YouTube.”
