A railroad engineer who had less than two minutes to share together with his girlfriend, a railroad attendant, took the opportunity to express his wish to marry her. A camera crew ran along with him as he found his girlfriend waiting at the door of a train car, reported in a program titled “A Date at 00:37,” by Chinese state media on Feb. 10.

Hao Kang, pronounced How Kong, works as a railway engineer in Shaanxi Province, China. He comes from a small county bordering the Yellow River, as does his girlfriend, now fiancée, of four years.
