She indicated that she turned down a wedding gift and an engagement ring from her lover named Hu, and instead opted to support him financially by paying off his debt with her savings.
"We returned the bride price of 300,000 yuan (N19.6 million) and a red packet containing another 10,000 yuan (N651k) to his family. Money is not the basis of love and it’s not a decisive factor," she said.
Details indicate that Hu found himself deep in debt after sinking the funds into an investment that did not go as expected.
She's naive, social media users say
Zhou's actions caused a stir on social media, with many netizens faulting her for being too naive and stupidly in love.
Many opined that it will be impossible for the lover to reciprocate the same generosity and love for her.
"Hope she doesn't get dumped," one comment read.
"She's going to be disappointed," said another.
Zhou, however, defended her decision, maintaining that she helped the man because she believes he is a down-to-earth and hardworking young man.
According to her, the pair will have an honest life as long as they work hard together, adding that her lover promised to repay the loan someday soon.
