Li Ziqi reappears after a long period of "disappearance," revealing for the first time the reason for her seclusion.

After a long period of absence, Li Ziqi, dubbed the "Country Fairy," has attracted attention with her statement explaining her absence in recent years.

On November 12, 2024, "country fairy" Li Ziqi officially made her comeback after nearly three years of almost complete absence. Her return came as the protracted legal battle with Weinian Company regarding trademark ownership and business partnerships had temporarily subsided. For fans, this was not just an ordinary comeback but also a milestone marking a new chapter after a turbulent period.

On her comeback day, Li Ziqi posted three meticulously produced videos, each a year-long filming process. These cinematic clips, depicting life and work in rural areas, quickly became a sensation on social media in China and many other Asian countries. In just five hours, keywords related to her garnered 100 million views on Weibo. Long-time fans expressed their emotion at finally satisfying their thirst for content and rediscovering the unique healing atmosphere she has cultivated over the years.

However, that joy didn't last long. Just a few days later, Li Ziqi disappeared from social media again. Her YouTube channel, with over 30 million subscribers, didn't have any new videos. For over a year, this silence has led netizens to constantly question: Is she continuing to produce content, or has she truly withdrawn from her role as a creator?

In mid-February this year, fans were surprised to see her appear at CCTV's 2026 Lunar New Year Gala, held in Yibin, Sichuan Province. At the event, Li Ziqi served as an ambassador promoting local culture. Her appearance immediately attracted attention and enlivened the atmosphere of the program.

When asked by the MC to define the flavor of Sichuan Lunar New Year in three words, she smiled and replied, "Sausage, cured pork, and bok choy." Li Ziqi further explained that bok choy is "the lifeblood of Sichuan people," like the soul of her hometown. Her simple and sincere way of sharing delighted many viewers.

Responding to public curiosity, the MC also asked about her absence from social media. Li Ziqi frankly stated that she stopped producing videos because she wanted to shift her focus to more important things. "One important reason is that I want to take care of my elderly grandmother and return to my family. On the other hand, I want to actively support rural development, for example, by helping to increase the income of artisans preserving intangible cultural heritage," she shared.

This statement quickly garnered much praise. Many viewers commented that while many stars use the Lunar New Year Gala to attract attention with their appearance or gimmicks, Li Ziqi chose to promote the flavors of her hometown with sincerity. According to People's Daily, her choice – shifting from producing flashy content to steadfastly preserving tradition – has reinforced her image of "pure and authentic," allowing the introduction of local specialties to transcend conventional marketing and become an expression of personal belief.

In fact, unlike her period of "going into hiding" due to legal disputes, Li Ziqi has still participated in several cultural events over the past year. In May 2025, she appeared at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival in Chengdu (Sichuan) in simple attire, quickly becoming a trending topic. On September 13th of the same year, she attended the 2025 Golden Panda Awards ceremony to present the award for the global short video category, aligning with her commitment to promoting cultural heritage.
