In 2014, we met outside of a bar in Shenzhen and exchanged Wechats. After keeping in touch for a few months, we met up for lunch. We made it official not long after and dated long distance for a year. I moved to Xiamen so we could be closer, and now we are ready to take the next step.
In January 2018, I was getting ready to go back to the US for my Chinese New Year holiday. Zach said we should get a nice dinner before I left. At the restaurant, he got us a private room and we toasted with saki shots. Before we ordered dinner, he said he had a present to give me, and pulled out a ring.
