A desperate Chinese university student wants to “rent” a girlfriend for 10 days so he can show her off to his parents over the Lunar New Year holiday.
The physics student, who gave his name as Zhu Lijie, posted a notice on a bulletin board at Peking University offering 1,000 yuan (NT$4,253) to a woman who would pose as his girlfriend for the trip home for the holiday, Xinhua News Agency reported.
The advertisement said the woman should be “an honest, kind and similar-aged girl with a diploma.”
The Lunar New Year holiday, which started on Feb. 18 this year, is the most important family holiday in China.
Xinhua said Zhu had told his parents, who were pressuring him to get a girlfriend, that he had been studying too hard and had no time to meet a potential partner.
Peking University officials and the police have warned women to be wary of such advertisements.
Wang Jisheng, a professor with the Psychology Institution of the Chinese Academy Sciences, was quoted as saying Zhu was trying to show filial piety to his parents but was only cheating them. (Ap)
一名著急的中國大學生想要「租用」一名女友十天,好讓他可以在農曆新年期間帶回家見父母。
根據新華社報導,這名物理系學生自稱朱力捷(音譯)在北京大學佈告欄貼一張公告,提供一千元人民幣(新台幣四千五百三十元)給願意扮成他的女友,陪他過年假期返鄉的女性。
公告上寫著這名女性要「誠實、仁慈且年齡相仿,擁有學位文憑。」
農曆新年在二月十八日開始,是中國最重要的闔家團圓假期。
新華社表示,朱力捷告訴不斷催促他交女朋友的父母,他的課業極為繁重,沒有時間去認識未來的另一半。
北京大學校方和警方提醒女性朋友小心這類廣告。
新華社引述中國科學院心理研究所教授王極盛說,想對父母表現孝心的朱力捷,其實是騙了父母。

As we bundle up in thick coats to stay warm during the winter, there is a population that has already adapted to extremely low temperatures. These people live in the remote city of Yakutsk, the coldest city on Earth. Yakutsk is situated in the heart of Siberia, which is the capital of the Sakha Republic in Russia. This historic mining city began to flourish in the 19th century following the discovery of gold deposits. Given its construction on permafrost, the average temperature in the city remains below 0°C for over half the year, with winter temperatures dropping to an astonishing -50°C.
