On July 19, a confession ceremony that captured the attention of tens of thousands of visitors took place at Beijing Happy Water Cube. Xiao Rui, a Chinese student who had returned from overseas, played a VCR on the water park’s main screen before stepping onto the stage to express his love to a girl named Feifei, ultimately winning her heart. The romantic and creative way of proposing left all the on-site visitors deeply moved.
5 minutes, spanning 15,000 kilometers
The confession began with a VCR played on the big screen. The 5-minute video documented Xiao Rui’s journey, covering nearly 15,000 km from the United States to Beijing. According to reports, Xiao Rui returned to China specifically for love. Three months ago, he had left his girlfriend Feifei behind to pursue career opportunities abroad. From deciding to come back to win her back to the moment of the on-site confession, Xiao Rui presented every step of his journey to Feifei. When the figure of Xiao Rui hurrying to the water park on the big screen merged with his live presence on stage, countless spectators were touched by the power of love. As one netizen put it, “In romance dramas, we often mock the cliché plot of ‘traveling across mountains and rivers just for you,’ but when such a scenario actually unfolds in real life, its emotional impact is incredibly strong.”
