Valentine's Day has come and gone, but male university students on the mainland had another chance to proclaim their love for their girlfriends - March 8, Women's Day.
'Tonight I plan to have a candlelit dinner with my girlfriend,' said Chen Wei, who studies at South China University of Technology.
'Today is a holiday for her. It is also a festival for the two of us, through which, I believe, we could better express the love between us.'
Another student chose to propose to his girlfriend on Women's Day. Dressed as a tiger, he got down on his knees with 99 roses in his hand in front of the cafeteria at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and asked his girlfriend 'Will you marry me?'
Passers-by could not help cheering, applauding and wishing the young couple well.
The girl, named Lianna Li, is a third-year undergraduate from the same university.
