"Truong Kiem Phong, I want to marry you, will you marry me?" - from 5pm to 7pm on March 16, all 900 taxis in Zhoushan city, Zhejiang province simultaneously ran a proposal from a girl, according to SCMP.

Mr. Yuan, the advertising company director who refused to reveal the client’s identity, said the two had been in love for a long time and were about to get married, according to Sina. The girl had spent more than 10,000 yuan (US$1,450) on advertising. That evening at the city’s seaside park, the girl asked the boy again:

"I'm ready, will you marry me?", she asked in the romantic candlelight, witnessed by her friends.

"I am willing to marry you, please marry me!", the boy replied.

The girl's method of proposing sparked debate on social network Weibo.

"I really admire the way she expressed herself," one person wrote.

"This is a powerful way to tell Truong Kiem Phong that you have money," another person wrote.

"She is so bold. If I were a man, I probably wouldn't dare accept, afraid that my future married life would be oppressed," another person expressed.
