Chinese actor Li Chuan rang in the New Year with a moment no script could top, proposing to singer and comedian Chui Na Li Sha (Hammer na Li Sha) live on stage right after their duet performance at a New Year’s Eve concert. What began as a musical collaboration quickly turned into one of the most talked-about entertainment moments of the year.
The couple had just finished singing My Heart Has Only You when Li Chuan stopped Chui Na Li Sha as she was about to leave the stage.
Guitar in hand, he began singing one of her favourite songs, instantly shifting the atmosphere.
Halfway through, he dropped to one knee, pulled out a ring, and asked her to marry him. Chui Na Li Sha, clearly overwhelmed, nodded through tears as the crowd erupted.

Many viewers initially assumed it was part of the show, especially given Li Chuan’s reputation for comedy roles and playful performances. However, post-event interviews quickly confirmed it was real.
Li Chuan admitted he had been nervous for months, worrying whether the ring size was right and whether everything would go smoothly. Chui Na Li Sha later laughed that the ring fit perfectly, adding to the genuine charm of the moment.
The proposal was not spontaneous at all. Behind the scenes, Li Chuan had prepared an entire car boot filled with roses and carefully planned the timing.
He had previously promised to propose in 2025, and chose the very last night of the year to keep that promise.
The broadcast kept the full scene unedited, making it the first known live New Year’s Eve proposal aired in real time on a major Chinese TV countdown show.

After the event, both took to social media to congratulate each other, keeping their usual light-hearted tone.
Fans quickly noticed Li Chuan’s delayed photoshoot post, where each image subtly spelled out MARRY ME, a detail that made many viewers go back and rewatch the entire timeline of the proposal.

Li Chuan and Chui Na Li Sha went public with their relationship in November 2022 and have been together for three years.

Known for being open, humorous, and refreshingly real, they have often been described by fans as a couple who grow together naturally. This proposal only reinforced that image, with many calling it a perfect example of steady love finally reaching its milestone moment.
With both continuing to build their careers, audiences can expect Li Chuan to stay active in drama and variety projects where his mix of acting and hosting shines through.
Chui Na Li Sha, meanwhile, is expected to balance music, comedy, and acting, bringing her signature humour into more scripted roles. Fans are already curious whether future projects might include collaborations or subtle nods to this unforgettable New Year’s moment.
