Man secretly learns Chinese to propose to girlfriend stealing millions of hearts on the internet

In a heartwarming gesture, a man proposed to his girlfriend in her native language, Chinese, creating a core memory that touched her deeply. The moment was made even more special by the fact that he had put in the effort to learn her language just for this proposal. The touching video, showing him on one knee and expressing his feelings in Chinese, quickly won over social media and set a new standard for relationship goals online. Former "Big Brother" contestant Yinrun Huang—who goes by @yinrun_hello on TikTok—was teaching her boyfriend, Luke, the viral "Apple" dance to Charli XCX’s hit song when she was surprised by this life-changing proposal.

Luke took Huang by surprise by getting down on one knee and speaking to her in Chinese, while they were filming a TikTok video together, “I wanted to give you a special message, and I wanted to do so in your native language. Because of you, everything is the best. I am so so so grateful to have you in my life,” Luke said, nervously apologizing for any mistakes in his pronunciation. He then pulled out a note card with his heartfelt message saying, "Every moment we spend together is filled with happiness. Your smile brightens my day. Even your laughter fills me with warmth."

“You are my rock, my confidant, and my soulmate. I love you so much, and I hope to build a lifetime of memories together,” he continued before pulling out the ring box and asking her to marry him. Huang, overwhelmed with emotion said yes!

The touching proposal video quickly racked up over 67 million views. "I thought it would be a simple 'will you marry me' bro did the whole speech in Chinese omg," said @mvpbling. "This is the sweetest proposal I’ve ever seen. I’m crying! Congratulations, you two are lovely together," added @ellesaro. "This is the first proposal video ever to make me tear up… how special!! Congratulations to you both!!" commented @alwaysbeengreen. "I am crying, please Apple dance after. I need to stop crying for romance," happily cried @maimacario.

Proposing can be a nerve-wracking experience. Asking someone to share their life with you is one of the most significant moments anyone will ever face. Whether it’s a simple, intimate moment or a grand affair, the effort you put into the proposal can set the tone for your future together.

In a video shared on Reddit, one man nailed his proposal most brilliantly and adorably. According to the text overlay on the video, he had planned this moment over a year in advance, and his girlfriend had no idea what was coming. The video unfolds over 21 frames, showing the man slowly lowering himself a little bit more in each shot. In the first frame, both are standing upright. By the second frame, he’s bending slightly. With each passing frame, he gets lower and lower, almost crouching by the tenth frame, and looking like he might tumble over by the fifteenth. This clever approach made for a charming and unforgettable proposal.
