A woman mistook a stranger for her husband and let him in her home, but the uninvited guest turned out to be an admirer, reports Chongqing Commercial News.

When someone knocked at her door on Monday night, half-asleep Liu thought that it must be her husband back from night shift, and opened the door without turning on the light.

When she came back from the kitchen with food for her husband she found an unknown man sitting on the sofa.

The man introduced himself by saying that he had fallen in love with Liu at first sight several months ago. He couldn't help expressing his love to her though he knew she was married.

Then he went out of the door, leaving the woman still in a daze.

'Agreement' tarnishes true love in campus

A college student in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou Province, is seeking help from the local media after her boyfriend - also a student - said they should agree to part peacefully on graduation, Guizhou Daily reports.

Jiang Li started dating her boyfriend, Wei, a native of Gansu Province, earlier this year.

But the boy recently made the request, claiming he could not stay with her in Guizhou because he was the only child of his family and his parents demanded he return after graduation.

This has put Jiang in a dilemma, as she loves Wei but will not leave her hometown.

Many college students complain this is a common problem of campus life, with such "agreements" tarnishing true love.
