During the power cuts following the 21 September earthquake, many shopkeepers put up candles on their shelves and carried on trading as usual, while some restaurateurs put a candlestick on every table and began offering "candlelight rendezvous."
地震過後的停電期間，許多商家在貨架上通插蠟燭、照常營業，有些餐廳更在每張桌子上擺設燭台，準備隨時來場「燭光約會」。
