Seeking a life-long partner, a young man in Northeast China has come up with a somewhat novel idea - standing by the side of the street holding an advertisement for himself.

The young man sits on the street holds an advertisement for himself waiting for his own "Mrs Right" with curious people surrounding him.

The young man, who is presently on a business trip to Yanji city, the capital city of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Northeast China's Jilin province, is a Chinese Korean. He says his mother hopes he can find a girl with the same ethnic background.

In order to fulfill his mother's wish, he is staying on a further 2 days in Yanji after completing his business, with the hope of meeting some Korean Chinese girls. Many Chinese Koreans live in Yanji city.

In his advertisement, the young man says that he is 33 years old, 182 centimeters high, single and running his own company. He is seeking a wife under 30, who is 162 centimeters or more tall, beautiful and smart.

When being asked why chose this way to find a wife, he says the Internet is too unreliable for finding a life-long partner, and he doesn't trust matchmaking agents either.

Many people doubted the veracity of the young man's advertisement.

However, he still received two girls' calls as a result.
