A heartwarming love story between two foreigners has captured the attention of Chinese netizens after the couple shared that they met on the Chinese social app RedNote. The lovebirds, Ella and Connor, have since expressed gratitude to both China and the app for bringing them together.
Connor, who describes himself as a "TikTok refugee," recently posted a message online: "We met on RedNote. Thank you, China and RedNote, for making our love story!"
The couple's post quickly went viral, with many amazed at the idea of two foreigners meeting on a Chinese app. While platforms like Tinder are widely known as go-to dating apps in the West, RedNote, often seen as a lifestyle platform, served as an unlikely Cupid. Connor even playfully wrote: "We met on Tinder? No, we met on RedNote."
Ella, the female half of the couple, has been documenting their relationship milestones on Chinese short-video platform Douyin (China’s TikTok). In her posts, she affectionately showcases their daily life, tagging it with hashtags like #InternationalLove and #ThankYouChina, further fueling the online buzz.
Chinese netizens reacted with a mix of humor, congratulations, and introspection about their own romantic lives. One commenter shared: "Congratulations! I met my husband on WeChat. Maybe it's time for all of us to explore more apps!"
Another netizen joked: "Foreigners are finding love on Chinese apps, while I - an old RedNote user - am still single. What is life?"
Others were quick to offer blessings and advice: "Ella is such a pretty girl. Connor, if you’re not nice to her, we’ll find you. Anyway, congrats to both of you!"
Some commenters took a more romantic tone, suggesting the couple visit China for their honeymoon. "I hope you’ll come to China to celebrate your wedding. That would make your love story even more perfect, wouldn’t it?"
The couple’s story not only warmed hearts but also highlighted the growing popularity of Chinese apps among international users. RedNote, known for its visually driven content, is increasingly attracting global audiences, and stories like Ella and Connor’s are inspiring more people to explore such platforms.
One netizen captured the sentiment best: "This isn’t just about two people finding love; it’s about cultures connecting in the most beautiful way."
As social media continues to break geographical and cultural boundaries, stories like Ella and Connor’s show how digital platforms can create unexpected and meaningful connections. Their love story, built on a Chinese app, has become a symbol of how technology fosters relationships and builds bridges between people from different worlds.
Whether it’s Tinder, WeChat, or RedNote, the key takeaway seems to be that love can flourish in the most unexpected places—sometimes even on an app you wouldn’t expect. As one netizen said: "Please keep posting your love story here. It’s making all of us believe in love again."
