Deaf athlete Zhang Mengyu proposed in sign language to his longtime girlfriend, fellow deaf athlete Xu Juan, in Guangzhou on December 14, 2025, after winning gold in the men’s pole vault at the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympics Games.⁠ ⁠ The 27-year-old para-athlete went viral for what many are calling the quietest yet loudest proposal ever. Fresh off his victory, Zhang turned the podium into a heartfelt moment, reminding Xu of the promise they made together. In translation, he told her, “We made a promise. I would train hard for two years to win the gold, and then I would propose to you. Today I made it. Marry me!”⁠ ⁠ 📽️Video by: Gabe Jung⁠ 🤳Click our linkinbio to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #reel #deafathlete #proposal #paralympic #nationalgames #specialolympics #guangzhou #china #polevault #goldmedal #love #viral #signlanguage #hearingimpaired #paraathlete #s...
