Zhang's boyfriend, Chinese musician, Wang Feng, popped the question at the actress' 36th birthday party over the weekend.
In a picture made available by Chinese media, Zhang is seen standing beside her three-tiered, pastel coloured birthday cake, and dressed in a one-shoulder red dress. With her hand covering her mouth, the actress watched in amazement as Feng retrieved a nine-carat diamond ring from a basket flown in by a white drone.
The musician was said to have gone on one knee thereafter, asking Zhang to marry him. It was such an emotional moment, and she said yes in front of family and friends.

"Thanks you for giving me a complete life. All the hardships are bygones. From now on, we will grow old hand in hand," he wrote.
