"We play two to three hours every day," said Ms Jiang, who met her partner, a tech entrepreneur, while studying in London.In Beijing, Valentine's Day specials aimed at couples - from aValentine's Day this year"won't be that different from daily life under quarantine", said Tyra Li, who lives in Beijing with her boyfriend of nearly three years.

Flower shop Xian Hua Ge in Beijing told AFP that sales plunged by up to 70 per cent from last year - partly because many have not returned to the city to work. China's wedding industry has also taken a hit, with the Chinese government urging couples to delay their nuptials earlier this month. Miao Jing, a university student in northern Tianjin city, said her girlfriend had to sneak into her hotel through the car park for a three-hour rendezvous earlier this month.

Ms Li in Beijing said staying cooped up at home had meant more time with her boyfriend - in the past, their busy schedules meant they only saw each other after 10pm on weekdays.
