Crouching Tiger star Zhang to marry rocker after drone proposal

Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi has accepted a marriage proposal from a romantic rock star who delivered a diamond ring to her by drone.

Musician Wang Feng sent a white drone carrying the ring flying into Zhang's 36th birthday party, Chinese web portal Netease reported.

Pictures posted online showed a smiling Wang reaching into a basket attached to the hovering drone, as Zhang - standing beside a large cake - covered her face.

Zhang, who starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Memoirs of a Geisha", accepted Wang's proposal at the party Saturday amid tears and applause from a crowd of onlookers including other celebrities, it added.

This morning a microblog account widely believed to be Zhang's posted a picture of fireworks with the words "I do", attracting thousands of comments.

Wang, 43, a popular musician and rock singer in China, was reportedly married twice before his relationship with Zhang, divorcing his second wife in 2013.
