Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi who gained international fame for her role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has accepted a marriage proposal delivered by drone.
Zhang, who turned 36 on Monday, was celebrating her upcoming birthday on Saturday when a white drone flew toward her at the party. Her boyfriend Wang Feng, a Chinese rock singer and composer, retrieved an engagement ring from inside the drone and then got down on one knee and popped the question.
“Witnessed by all, we have experienced happiness and sorrow. I hope Ziyi can always have the happiest time. If we both are old, I can still take care of you,” said Wang, according to Chinese media reports.
Zhang said “yes” before welling up, and the newly engaged couple kissed and embraced as the night sky lit up with fireworks, according to Chinese media reports.
Zhang’s manager, Ji Lingling, confirmed the engagement news in a text message to The Associated Press on Monday.
Zhang shared her answer on her microblogging account on Sunday, with a photo of glittering fireworks in the shape of a heart.
Wang reposted Zhang’s answer five hours later on his own microblog and wrote - “Thank you for giving me a complete life. All the hardships are bygones. From now on, we will grow old hand in hand.”
