Who is Li Ziqi(李子柒) ? The 29-year-old vlogger's videos about her countryside life becomes so hot these days. Her fans call her “the goddess of nature”.

What makes her so popular? Cooking, painting, designing, farming...  65.It seems that she lives a quiet but colorful life. In her videos, Li wears Hanfu that she made herself. She also rears silkworms(养蚕) to sew（缝制）quilts. She even makes lipstick(口红)with roses she grows. She also uses fruits picked from her own garden to make wine.

Li grew up in a small village in Sichuan province. When she was 14, she went to the city to work. But she soon went back to the countryside so that she could take care of her sick grandmother.

To make a living, Li started an online store. At first, she just used her videos to show her products. But her simple lifestyle quickly won many fans for her.现在人们认为观看她的视频是放松的最佳方式。

For her fans who are from foreign countries, they feel more interested in Li's deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. “I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I didn't know I could cook meat like that until I finished watching her video.” one foreign fan wrote on YouTube excitedly.

As China Daily said, Li shows the world that Chinese people enjoy life, love good food and are good at making art out of the simplest materials. With her videos, she really makes the world learn more about Chinese culture. 她还建议外国朋友来中国吃美食。 She did not praise China with a single word, but she did a good job showing real beautiful life in China.

       The book exchange fair is an opportunity to give old books out so that they can benefit more people. You can also find the books you like for free in return.

       ★Poem Performance：

       If you like reading poems and you want to share with others, we have a stage for you. Just stand in front of people and perform(表演)your favorite poem.

       ★Bookmark-making：

       Just come and make your personal bookmarks. Our art teachers will help you. We offer you tools, such as scissors, knives, rulers, colored pens, and so on.

       Tickets are ￥2 for students who study in Wenyuan Middle School and half price for their parents. But others should pay￥3.
