A woman who was trapped for a month at the home of a blind date during a Covid-19 lockdown has announced the pair are getting engaged.
Zhao Xiaoqing said on social media that she will become engaged to the man, Zhao Fei, during the upcoming Lunar New Year festival when the lockdown is lifted.
She has been living at his home near Xianyang, Shaanxi province, central China, since mid-December, online news site jiupai.cn reported.
“I very much treasure the love between us,” she said. “This is the biggest harvest for me in the year of 2021. I am thankful for this special karma.”
The couple, who share the same surname, are both 28 years old. Xiaoqing said Fei was introduced to her by her family as a blind date, and the two met for the first time at the beginning of last month when he visited her home in Baoji.
