This lockdown date has a happy end
Print Edition
A CHINESE couple who were trapped on a never-ending date thanks to a lockdown have been relieved to find that love, not coronavirus, is in the air and have agreed to tie the knot.
It is the second time this month that China鈥檚 state media have published reports about a couple on a date getting trapped by sudden lockdown rules 鈥 but this one has a happier ending.
Zhao Xiaoqing, a 28-year-old woman from Shaanxi Province, thought her date in mid-December with a young man living in a different city would be a one-day affair where she would also get to know his family.
鈥淚 never thought about staying the night, because it鈥檚 pretty awkward,鈥 Zhao, who was meeting the man for only the second time, told local media Jimu News on Monday.
But authorities in her date鈥檚 city of Xianyang suddenly ordered a lockdown due to a spike in virus cases, leaving the woman stranded.
The man鈥檚 parents urged the pair to get engaged after just one week together 鈥 but Zhao said she felt it was 鈥渢oo rushed.鈥
Zhao said she was 鈥渘ot too interested鈥 when she first saw a photograph of the man called Zhao Fei.
Despite the awkward start, the pair began to develop feelings for each other, and are now getting engaged.
Zhao鈥檚 story went viral on social media days after another pair made headlines for being trapped on a week-long blind date due to a lockdown.
Wang, a woman in Henan Province, has been stuck in her suitor鈥檚 house since going for a home-cooked meal as their first date in early January.
But romance has not blossomed for Wang, who complained her date was as talkative as a 鈥渨ooden mannequin.鈥
