China shop owners’ wedding closure notice swamped with written blessings from passers-by whom they reward with discounts
- Couple plan nuptials in hometown, close shop, get loving surprise
- Shoppers thanked with special discount offers, wedding sweets
Two young business people, who were overwhelmed when their shopfront wedding notice was filled with blessings from passers-by, have attracted a heartwarming response on mainland social media.
Zhang Tianfeng and Zhang Yaping, both 24, are native to Henan province in central China but live in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province in eastern China, where they have a duck-head snack shop.
The couple planned to tie the knot in their hometown during the first Lunar New Year month this year, so they put up a sign announcing temporary closure.
“We’re going home for the wedding, so the shop will be shut from November 10 to February 14,” the notice said.
They were deeply moved when strangers spontaneously wrote on the notice, the Hangzhou Daily reported.
“We did not expect to receive so many blessing messages from passers-by,” the woman said.
