      Hi Stephanie and Mr. Mangobutt and family and friends! 👋 Liziqi is an inspirational female to me. Especially the way she goes about life in her hometown is authentic. Maybe I like that rural lifestyle. Just something so peaceful about it is just 😮😌 Sometimes, people forget that beauty is all around them. Yet, life can be beautiful. You just have to make it. Obviously the world RN is in disarray. Still. Liziqi will always be the beloved Liziqi. Please stay safe, love well, live well each day no matter where u are. U are remembered.

    People just cannot accept someone can be that awesome. My stepmother is a village girl and came from a poor family too and she wasn't an educated woman but her skills in cooking, making simple furniture, and her random knowledge about life are amazing as a result of her hard life and continuous learning from her parents and her surroundings. So I really don't understand why people felt so unbelievable and doubt Liziqi can do all this sort of things. Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't.

      Li Ziqi was doing a variation of Sichuan Pao Cai. That’s when things get blurry. Because both Kimchi and Chinese Pao Cai are essentially fermented veg. And China has huge regional differences of this dish like most of their other foods, some are very different from Korean Kimchi and others are similar in other parts of China.

They are essentially culturally and biologically the same as north koreans, but are within the borders of china, so are chinese by nationality.

    I would play a new video a day so that I would have something to talk about with my grandma and she can reminisce on her past in China. I was sad when the videos stopped uploading.

Most people in all of these countries khave had this dish and/or know how to make it.
