On November 12, “Rural Fairy” Li Ziqi Updates with a New Video After Nearly 3 Years of Hiatus
The video from the online star quickly attracted over 120 million views within just 6 hours of posting. Chinese media noted that Li Ziqi’s return is a sensational event on social media, with audiences welcoming her back enthusiastically. Many viewers expressed their longing and affection for the beautiful Li.
According to Sohu, during her 3-year hiatus from releasing new videos, Li Ziqi focused on pursuing a lawsuit, seeking justice for herself, and acquiring new skills.
Her Explosive Comeback Highlights Her Strong Appeal
Statistics show that less than 24 hours after Li Ziqi’s return, her three new videos garnered over 6.41 million views on YouTube. These three videos alone could generate over 80,000 RMB (approximately 273 million VND) in revenue in just one day.
The following day, her estimated revenue skyrocketed to 54,700 USD (over 1.3 billion VND).
From November 14 to 17, her estimated daily revenue ranged from 14,000 to 16,700 USD (about 350 million to 420 million VND).
According to Social Blade, it is estimated that just 6 days after her comeback, Li Ziqi’s total revenue on YouTube may have reached 115,800 USD (over 2.9 billion VND).
Three Years of Silence, Yet Li Ziqi’s Earnings Still Reach Billions
Even during her break, Li Ziqi was able to earn a substantial amount of passive income from YouTube. In April of last year, a specialized analysis page revealed that her video replays that month generated advertising revenue of up to 785,320 RMB (nearly 2.7 billion VND). At that time, Li Ziqi had 17.4 million followers on YouTube, a total of 128 uploaded videos, and a staggering 2.92 billion views.
If her monthly advertising income on YouTube is consistently calculated at 785,320 RMB, and if her channel maintains a stable viewership, then her income over the three years without new videos could reach around 31.4 million RMB (over 107 billion VND).
In addition to her YouTube earnings, Li Ziqi also generates income from several other social media platforms in China.
As of November 17, the three new videos Li Ziqi uploaded after her return have achieved over 27 million views. At the same time, her channel gained over 600,000 new subscribers. With such a significant increase in views and followers, the revenue from YouTube for the “Rural Fairy” is sure to be even more staggering.
