I also think that people forget she is human, a person, with an elderly Grandma, that she cherishes the time she has left with her. She has friends and family that she has relationships with and she has a business life and trying to educate herself and learn cool things. I will miss her but I will always support the decisions she makes that work best for her. She needs to live her best life and we should support that.
Very well put and couldn't agree more. Loved when she ate with her grandmother after cooking something amazing. Miss her, but hope all the best for her and family.
lmfao you must be stupid thinking thats her biological grandma when shes worth millions
@Kazper Lee which village have you been in China before？
You realize its soft power funded by the chinese government?
She is literally a DJ, she films these videos with a friend who is a videographer.
@Kazper Lee lmao that doesn’t you’re right, what’s your logic?
I didnt even notice she hasn't uploaded, she always takes her time with the videos and uses so much time and effort in them I have always been patient with them
Agree with you
Same here
same lol
shes not the one doing the videos lol. its her team. shes simply the face/acttress in the video
@@PolarTw she does way more than that.
She's starting her channel herself from scratches. Now when people see her earnings many want to take advantages of her. Hope she's doing well and happy, that's the most important.
Do you have the link for her channel?
@@brian_atc czcams.com/users/cnliziqi
@@brian_atc watch the earliest few videos where she do all from editing to video making herself before her channel getting bigger and she hire people to help her video making. those are her difficult times....but I loved them the most.
If she's starting, it's still early days. A lot depends on what rights she has commercially speaking. For instance, can she still use the name Liziqi for her new channel assuming she had made a clean break with Weinian, who was the majority owner of the partnership? And then there's the image right. If the former partnership also owned her image right, it'd be doubly hard for her to re-launch a new channel the way she did before.
Remember, the quarrel started when Weinian started a third company in which Liziqi has zero ownership, to sell Liziqi products ffs.
The best solution to me is that she would stay with the partnership and try to re-negotiate with Weinian to see if she can get a cut of the products. Weinian may be willing to do that because of the bad publicity that has been created. To start a new channel and build up a subscriber level to the ones she has now in China and on youtube will not be easy at all.
I support her if she wants to take a break or even leave CZcams. Mental health above all
Nah I don't support that she should come back to work asap. She's living in China so work is all she must do.
And her team's issues with their digital handlers.
My gf doesn’t watch the videos but she’s a big fan of her products, everything from her is quality and delicious and feels more authentic.
@@niggblehlm5818
um...
@@niggblehlm5818
no.
I hope she's doing well and her grandma too, I'm always visiting her channel to check if she uploaded or not 😢
I love her and her cooking and always waiting for her!
Both of them r doing well I talk with them just now
@@yoyo6940 thanks for the info ❤️
Me too
I want to beat the sh** out of the promotion business for their treachery.
Me too.. _frm 🇮🇳
If she start another channel and leave all those people who are using her for their own benefit, we , her loyal followers will surely follow her again. We believed in her talent and and she can do this again. Wishing everything goes well with her life. She's alone can do wonders, No need other people.
she already has new channel but there're only short video
Its her channel not their,they cant take it.
What's her new channel?
@@angelicabalagat196 liziqi music
Itsnot her new channel
But kinda closely related to.
Im sup her what ever ...
But all li vidios is art
Makes me so sad. She is honestly my favorite CZcamsr, and all I can say is I hope she is doing well, and that she is able to be happy and thrive once more.
She actually does better, spending more time with grandma, having more leisurely time, never going to deal with hate comments that she is feminist and doesn’t want marriage. she already has enough money to support herself and grandma
Typical of getting Mad at employers .
She is just an employee.
Without the company , her videos won't look professional , Therefore not interesting
@@dongshengdi773 Her video are interesting enough 4 years ago before the company stepped in. The only difference is that she didn’t have the kind of promotion and people helping her with her own brand
She's been such a great encouragement to me.
I'm praying for peace, rest and happiness for her.
Good idea -miracles do happen 🙏😇💫
It's disgusting when you think about how Li Zhiqi is literally just one woman and this company is trying to milk her for all she's worth. Not to mention she is the one performing all the content.
Nah.. that's wht I think...
And yeah she won't stop for sure. Fck tht people..
Crony capitalism and unscrupulous organizations 😠
She put herself innthis situation
@@yasmincastro892 what if she didn't know? I mean companies manipulating and sabotaging partners that are naive aren't at all rare.
@@yasmincastro892 the best comment you can say right? Sad
The best part about CZcams is that there are legacies that people leave that will enhance others lives and well-being for years and years to come. It has been a blessing a learning experience and a source of peace to watch and learn from her, whoever she is and whether she continues or not. Like many great stars I hope to see more from her but I feel blessed to have the little that she's given so far.
People thought that of Vine.
Yeah. We can still watch her videos.
Wow very well said
Honestly even though she's not back on CZcams or any social media platform,
It's even better for her hence all this while that's her lifestyle since the very beginning.
She's sharing our Chinese culture with her heart and love towards the world but if Ms. Li is not happy,
I fully support her throughout her journey.
it's interesting that she is "sharing" the culture of China on a website that is BANNED/BLOCKED IN CHINA.
Gosh! Did you even bother watching this video? She got 100 million followers in China alone. China banned CZcams to patronise thier own local channel such as Weibo. She uses third party to upload her content to share it outside China. That is why we are enjoying her channel on CZcams. Chinese admired her content before it was shared to us. Don't create false story.
@@n.ayisha bruh everyone knew that CZcams, Instagram and most of the popular apps been banned by China to encourage their local apps. Though we also know that all of chinese people still use VPN or other third party to use these apps. That's why she still popular and have subscriber from China
I just hope she's earned enough to enjoy some time off and live her life.
That's why never ever sign with unscrupulous companies. Never
wow. in here too? You're all over the place, really. haha
All Chinese already signed with the CCP. There is nothing more unscrupulous.
I saw u some were else
@@sheejanair1916 he is everywhere 😭🤣
If you have something worth taking, someone will always take advantage. But one thing is for sure you never say no to the CCP, otherwise they’ll make an end of what you’re doing if it doesn’t align with them. Unscrupulous companies may be the least of her worries.
She needs to take care of herself mentally, emotionally, and physically, and she also needs to tend to her elderly grandmother. She needs to breathe, and we need to step back and let her be.
Her vlogs needs time, her contents are very high quality and cannot be shoot in a day.
She's huge and its sad that talent agencies and managers eyes are on her.
It must be so frustrating and heartbreaking that others are taking advantage of her hard work. I don’t blame her for stepping back. I look forward to her future content, if and when she decides to come back.
On the surface, she is suffered from personal or organized paid cyber violence. In fact, the confusion and negligence of her personal trademark and intellectual property management in the early years has finally caused side effects. There are many inferior products on the market under her name. It is difficult for her to have any solution.
She is a very talented and beautiful woman, and I have enjoyed her videos demonstrating traditional ways of cooking and other traditional aspects of life in China. I wish her strength and luck, and I hope to see her back on CZcams as soon as possible.
Praying for this person I consider a friend. I have learned so much from her. God bless you
aw, it's been 10 months since her last video. 🥺 i miss getting excited when a new video was posted so i have been rewatching all of her old ones. whatever she's up to, i just hope her and grandma are safe, well rested and happy.
When she become a big shining star, all the sharks will circle around and try to take advantage of her. It comes with a lot of burden and stressed. I hope she can overcome and return to her place of peace and creativity. Her fans will be there when she returns.
The bloodsuckers come out.
I knew this already from Weibo and some Chinese comment on random CZcams videos about her 'issue' that made her went into police station.
If you care about her life update, just go to a channel named 'Liziqi Music'.
I found recently she received an award and delivered a speech at Farmers Harvest Festival. She also became a representative in talking with Azerbaijan's ambassador, they were exchanging teas from both countries.
She's now stepping up to the next level of her career.
Maybe in the months ahead, we should expect that she will rarely upload videos to her channel due to her business outside.
I'm both happy for her and sad that her CZcams uploads are changing (atleast I have my memories)
Wait really? I'm happy for her - she is finally getting deserved recognition
That’s so sad to see. I hope she comes back soon! Her videos are so relaxing to watch 🥲
I'm just glad to know her grandmother is doing fine I was worried knowing that her grandmother is doing fine but give me great joy 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
yet another entrepreneur losing to venture capitalists. young entrepreneurs must not only focus on creating values, but also safeguard their business from investors.
Unfortunately you sometimes need outside capital. But yeah it seems this company has poor Ziqi by the balls. It really sucks because her channel was a remarkable inspiration to many.
Rumor said, she likely will be winning the case, after all, her partner owns share of Zhiqi Media Productions, the brand of Li Zhi Qi belongs to Zhiqi Media Production, not solely by her business partner, her business partner which the capitalist actually illegally stolen her brand to earn profit, now the court already order her business partner (the so call mother company) remove all Li Zhi Qi related products off their company shelf!! So she likely will reach a agreement in her favorite with that shameless capitalist.
@@eveleung8855 you sound like someone from the ccp lol
@@Mar1aHass4n 🙄
i love liziqi..bec. when covid 19 hit the philippines n declare that everyone must stay at home n avoid going out, LIZIQI's Videos was my pasttime...it makes me relax n forget about the covid bec. of how she was good in cooking, planting and in everything...i admire her a lot....i always check if there's new video of her n find nothing...until I found out there's some problem or issues shes facing.....hope everythings go well with her ...may she heal from the pain and become strong
She’s so lovely, loves her Gram-mama & she is happy with simple life. I support her for that.
Have to admit that I found myself infatuated with this beautiful talented woman. The filmography was stunning and made me want to visit China. Miss her spectacular content and hope she is happy and will return soon.
Get in line, buddy!
@@walden6272 no doubt 🤣🤣
I miss her videos!!!
When life and work are both overwhelming, it makes sense to take a break. I wish she is simply taking time off, she highly deserves a vacation. No one has to be a workaholic.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I was wondering if she was okay and had no idea how deep/involved the production team was. I fully support her decision to take a step back and do some metaphorical house cleaning of her assistants and production staff, or even just retire back to a cozy life taking care of her grandmother. While new content is always welcome, I will continue to find inspiration from the videos already posted.
When she re- surfaces, I shall be here.
Here in germany we had a similar case of a company trying to take a bunch of youtube stars under their wing and then trying to squish the money out of them. It is important to read every contract carefully so that everyone can get their fair share. I hope to see Li Ziqi back in the near future and hope for the best.
She is really a wonder woman. Anyone wanted to rob talent from her should b ashamed
That’s why you always read the contract. If there’s anything you don’t understand you need a third party to review
Greedy
I LOVE LIZI QI! Please bring her back on CZcams! Let's pray for her HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS! We need LIZI QI! She is the ORIGINAL.
this is so sad :( but knowing how resilient and determined she is she will get through this stronger. I will patiently wait for her new videos. In the meantime I hope that she and grandma are doing well.
Great post. Thank you. I have missed her.
No wonder..
Ive been waiting for her videos and i thought shes still working on it, cause one videos of her really takes effort and times i believed..
But all the best for li zi qi..
Hope u can make another great videos..
Ill be waiting :)
We are always here for you Li. Honestly I missed her, that's why I often visited and checked her channel if there's a new uploaded video, suddenly it's still nothing, ended up watching her old videos again and again. Hoping she's doing fine with her grandma and her original team. ❤️ avid fan from PH.
So whatever the reason it is... All her vedios are downloaded in my phone so i can watch it anytime i really enjoyed watching over & over... Her vedios So calming, stressfree...that's kind of life want to live good simple, nature, food, her videos inspired me to have gardening like hers😍& i miss grandma too😍😍
Chinese culture so amazing!
I always visited her utube so i have to see new videos.. So that's the reason why theres no update... But dont worry Miss liziqi your old vedios remains in our hearts❤Hope u will be ok & grandma too. Cant wait to see ur new content.. But for now get some rest & live ur life what you want to be.. Love yahhh...
❤here@Philippines
wish everything is well. Much Loved🖤🌸
it is her personal choice, and we should respect others' personal choices like her, hope she does well in the future.
Fame and fortune attracts unwanted attention. Life of an entertainer 101. Wishing her peace and safety.
We want to see her back. Whenever I feel down I watched her videos those are so calming and make you feel happy. I want her back. Allah please resolve this issue and do best for her. Ameen
Her videos really helped me reduce my anxities and I'm thankful for that but I do really miss her contents. Hopefully she's happy and healthy along with her grandma.
thank you for this video! i got worried about her when she uploaded a video twice and deleted it within hours. she seemed sad in that video
Thanks for the update, stay healthy and safe! xo
Her content has been great, and I had been going back to her every time I feel off and stressed. Her content has been helping me sleep peacefully, and is one of the main reasons I recovered from my bad sleeping habits.
I hope that she and her family are doing well. I will support her if she chooses to take a break, or to permanently stop making content.
This video had one MAJOR mistake in that Li Ziqi's merchandise and product lines are owned by Weinian alone, not their joint enterprise. That's right, whatever product Weinian sells on her name, she gets nothing.
Damn! That is straight up exploitation.
Didn't something similar happen with Claire and Cream Heroes? These companies are so predatory.
@@vegasgirl3538 The moment I saw that video on the CreamHeroes ordeal I instantly thought of Li Ziqi and hoped she wasnt going through the same. Its so disappointing to see this happen to her and this reoccurring nonsense is extremely frustrating to learn about
LiZIQi formally sued the WEINIAN company..Weinian's application for trademark "LiZiqi" was rejected by the law
@@qiaohong14 so.. Li won?
evil greedy corporations want a slice of her fame and hard work
A big big big slice.
Awww 🥺 hope she is happy and overcome this things easily...miss her so much
Thanks for the information.. Bcz everyday i was in search of her videos... God bless her and protect both liz and granny... Awaiting for her new upload💞😍
I miss her videos, but I can wait. Just have to rewatch her videos.
I miss you so much I hope that everything will work out for you and us too your followers we love you I hate to hear that but thanks for letting me no something I will keep my fingers crossed for you 😘😘
I will support liziqi whenever she comes back🥰
It's been a while since she uploaded on her channel, it's sad 😢 we miss her so much
I will miss you, every episode brougth so much joy in my life. I respect your decision. With a lot of love from a small country, Holland.
Thank you.
We will wait for her and support her no matter what platforms she ends up on..we know she is a sincere good person who was too trusting in business that is cuz she is young and not experienced with business world..sorry she has to fight for what she created but am sure she will bounce back and continue to be successful cuz her audience is waiting patiently for her return and will remain faithful followers cuz we love her and all her hard work!!
i love her videos
Hope this clears things a little.
2022-12-28 From China daily.
Chinese online celebrity Li Ziqi (real name Li Jiajia) and Hangzhou Weinian, a multi-channel network, reached a settlement under the mediation of Mianyang Intermediate People's Court in southwest China's Sichuan, said Weinian on Tuesday.
In October 2021, the Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co Ltd filed a lawsuit against Hangzhou Weinian Brand Management Co Ltd which owned her image, as well as the company's legal representative Liu Tongming.
Previously, Weinian held 51 percent of Sichuan Ziqi's shares and Li held 49 percent, but now Li holds 99 percent and Weinian holds one percent of the company after the registration of industrial and commercial changed.
She stopped updating content since mid-July in 2021.
Although the Li Ziqi brand was created by both parties, the ownership of this top IP wasn't clear. Li once said in an interview with China's CCTV that she did not want to be "overly commercialized".
Will see her soon
I never paid attention to her posting schedule. I know her videos take time to make and it always feels like a treat when she drops one. I hope her and her family are doing well.
Li ziqi we are still here to wait and support you again!!
A lovely young lady ! I wish her well !
Canterbury Kent UK.
I miss her a lot😣 please come back 😭
Miss her
SHe just made an interview with chinese media a week ago. She said she is helping people in the rural area. Helping people to sell their goods and etc.
Unfortunately, when big money is involved suddenly sharks appear! I totally support Liziqi whatever she decides. In one of the toughest moments of my life (I suddenly became disabled , mostly bed ridden), watching her videos brought back joy to my life: pure poetry! May God bless her and her family and team for a joyful life where the money sharks will no longer exist!
🌞🤗💖🙏👍🤗
We love you, Liziqi! ❤️☀️❤️
All this time I have been thinking that she was developing content, but also had a feeling she was very overworked as she puts so much into her videos...
She is an exceptionally gifted and talented young woman, and I suppose she is not immune to shysters taking advantage of this fact...
I pray for her safety, and the continued success in all that she does - she has touched the lives of countless people the world over; an incredible inspiration for helping everyone increase the beauty of their own worlds
Shalom and Mazel tov to you Li Ziqi; wherever you are ❤
I'm always waiting for her new video😭
I Miss her 😭😞
Hopefully she can upload again... I feel relaxed watching her videos.
She got swindled for being too trusting. Happens all the time.
She's my idol to inspire countryside vlog love frome the Philippines♥️
I will wait for you LiZiqi ❤️
Come back li we want you to see again plz come back
She had an interview recently , watch that for updates
I miss her so much!
Miss her videos
I hope she is fine and her grandmother too. If she want to take a break or leave you tube it's her choice.I watch her every video and she is doing best for her own happiness .I will always support her no matter what.🙏
I loved her videos... She is really talented 👍
I also was dying to know where she is
Is she okay
Thank you for this video
It's a relief that she and her grandmother is okay ❤
She can take break as she want and stay happy
I am here literally after 3 yrs 😢
I was curious but this raises more questions than it answers.
Although I do miss seeing her upload her videos on youtube, I do hope that wherever she is or whatever she is up to may she and her family are well in health and are happy.
Let's pray for best wishes to li hope she is doin great please be happy 🥰
My fav❤️ liziqi
Always worth waiting for. Quality all the time. If the business is trying to exploit her unfairly, she should take time to sort it out. We'll wait. Best wishes.
I love her videos😢
I watch her all video hope she is doing good Nd come back soon .
If u know about pewdiepie,he had this kind of prob before.when he's at ****company. He loved working w/ them at first but then later on he realized that he is lost when it comes to the "salary". It was like, 70/30. His was 30 and the management was 70 of the profit like dat..I think this is the same with liziqi? Imagine, u'r giving ur whole strength and ability to create the best content but other people will benefit most from it? 🤦 I miss you liziqi.. I support ur decision..😘
I love her videos
She is right, and she’s putting her feet down. Just respect and be mindful of her and her well being with the family. Appreciate her cause we don’t find people with the same heart as her these days.
she is probably tired of all of this. havent missed her at all. moving forward
Oh I feel sad for her. I'm such a huge fan of liziqi,I hope she's well🥺
i miss her videss so much
She's burnout, needs a break. To readjust, reorganize herself, thoughts and the real girl in her life..
It is ironic, though, that she got burned out making videos on idyllic life. It takes a lot of time to shoot video, select clips, and edit them together. And some of the work she was doing in the idylic setting was really strenuous. Hope she gets the rest she needs.
I've been thinking about her. Now this appears. I hope lizqi is doing well.
