A Chinese woman, Wang, became unexpectedly stuck at her blind date's house in Zhengzhou after the city was placed under an abrupt COVID-19 lockdown.
She documented her unique experience through video blogs, which quickly went viral, showing her date cooking meals and performing household chores during their prolonged cohabitation.
Wang expressed mixed feelings about her date, describing him as 'mute as a wooden mannequin' and his cooking as 'mediocre,' but appreciated his willingness to cook for her.
The surge in online attention led Wang to remove her videos, citing concerns about the impact on the man's privacy and daily life.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
