The said proposal reportedly took place on a 30m-high glass bridge in Xinmi, Henan on 15 August. 

23-year-old Xiao Jing, who comes from a really wealthy family, proposed to her long-time boyfriend Xiao Yu, also 23, with an SUV and 1,000,000 yuan (about RM597,000)

According to Sing Tao Daily, Xiao Jing is the only daughter and her family had been rushing her to get hitched.
