Beijing:
Imagine you’re on a first date that you just can’t get over? That’s what happened to a woman in China whose video blog about a citywide shutdown during a private date went viral.
More than 100 cases of the virus have been reported in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou since last week, as China battled to contain multiple local outbreaks of Delta and Omicron variants.

Since then, Wang has posted short videos documenting her daily life in confinement, showing the day she cooks her meals, does housework and works with his laptop while she sleeping, according to clips published by local media.
So far, it looks like the romance hasn’t blossomed during their extended dating, according to Wang, who says she’s looking for a more talkative partner.

Wang did not disclose the age or identity of the man in the video.
Related hashtags hit more than six million views on Twitter-like social media site Weibo on Wednesday.
However, Wang said the recent surge in online attention has prompted her to take down the videos.
“Friends kept calling him and I think this has definitely affected his life, so I took them down,” she said in a video posted Tuesday. widely in the local Chinese media.
“Thanks for everyone’s concern… I hope the outbreak ends soon and my single sisters find a relationship soon.”
