2024年11月12日，李子柒的粉丝们迎来了一份令人欣喜——且极为意外——的惊喜。
👏The lifestyle vlogger, 34, returned to YouTube with two new videos after a three-year hiatus, shocking followers who have long wondered whether she would ever record again.
👏“This lacquer video is four years late,” Li captioned her first upload, which shows her crafting a lacquer wardrobe door. “The Chinese pronunciation of lacquer is the same as ‘qi.’ I named this lacquerware hidden flowers ‘Zi Qi Dong Lai (the coming auspiciousness).’ … I send this wish to everyone who sees the video, I miss you very much.”
“这段大漆视频迟到了四年，”李子柒在她的第一段视频上传时写道，视频中她展示了如何制作一扇漆器衣柜门。“漆同‘柒’。我给这幅雕漆隐花的漆器作品命名为‘紫气东来’，麒麟回首，万事不愁。也把这份祝愿送给看到视频的每一个你，很想你们。”

👏Her second video, also uploaded on Tuesday, showed her turning a woodshed into a cloakroom. “I’ve always wanted to have a cloakroom of my own for many years, located in the forest, surrounded by flowers, where I could lie on the sofa in it and watch the stars,” she captioned the clip.
她的第二段视频同样是在周二上传，内容展示了她如何把一个柴房改造成衣帽间。她在视频下方写道：“很多年前就想拥有一个属于自己的衣帽间，我想它是坐落在森林里的，周围有花海，还可以躺在衣帽间的沙发上看星星。”

👏Li is one of China’s most popular influencers, at one point holding the Guinness World Record for most subscribers to a Chinese-language YouTube channel. Before she stopped posting, she had nearly 50 million followers on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. Her YouTube videos, now followed by 20 million subscribers, showcase her life in rural China as she makes handicrafts and cooks for herself and her grandma. In one memorable upload, she built a table with a functioning fountain on top.

👏Since July 2021, however, Li has been radio silent on YouTube, leading fans to wonder where she was or whether she had retired from posting. Theories proliferated about what had happened to her, but the most likely explanation stems from a business dispute between Li and Weinian, the agency that owned a majority stake in her brand.
然而，自2021年7月以来，李子柒便在YouTube上停更，粉丝们开始纷纷猜测她是否已经退圈或去哪了。关于她的失联，猜测层出不穷，但最可能的解释是，李子柒与其品牌大股东微念公司之间发生了商业纠纷。

👏According to a 2023 article in The New Yorker, Li and Weinian sued and countersued each other a total of five times in 2021 and 2022. They reportedly reached a settlement in late 2022 that gave Li increased control over her company, but she still didn’t post any new videos.
根据2023年《纽约客》的一篇文章，李子柒与微念公司在2021年和2022年之间互相起诉并反诉，共进行了五次诉讼。据报道，双方在2022年底达成了一项和解协议，李子柒获得了对自己公司的更大控制权，但她仍然没有发布任何新的视频。
