China's Wuhan couples were so eager to marry after lockdown ended that they crashed the marriage application system

A local marriage application system run by Chinese tech platform Alipay saw a 300% increase in traffic, according to anAlipay also announced in its post that it offers a service to couples to search and see what baby names have already been used by other couples. Alipay is one of the most widely-used payment platforms in China, alongside WeChat.

During the lockdown local transport was shut down, and residents could only leave their homes to perform essential tasks like fetching food if they had special permission granted via a mandatory smartphone app, stating they were healthy and had not come into contact with anyone who had the virus. The lockdown was officially relaxed just after midnight on Wednesday, but officials warned residents not to get too carried away.

"This day that people have long been looking forward to and it is right to be excited. However, this day does not mark the final victory," the Communist Party's flagship People's Daily wrote in an editorial.
