Full-page ad begs son to come home

'No pressure' ... A mother has paid for the full front page of Melbourne's leading Chinese newspaper, to ask her son to visit and promising she won't pressure him to marry.

A MOTHER has taken out a full-page ad in a Melbourne newspaper, urging her son to come home for Chinese New Year.

The anonymous mother, who lives in Guangzhou, China, posted the desperate appeal to her son 'Peng' on the entire front page of the Chinese Melbourne Daily, after pressure on him to marry had driven him away.

"I've called you many times, but you don't answer. Maybe you will see this," she writes.

"Your mother and father won't force you to marry again. Come home for Chinese New Year!"

Peng lives and works in Australia, after successfully completing a course of study there, Want China Times reports.

After repeatedly be urged to return to China and marry, Peng had stopped answering his overbearing family's calls. The pressure to bring home a partner during the Lunar New Year is so great, some young people will even hire a boyfriend or girlfriend for a day, to satisfy their parents.

Online shopping site Taobao offers stand-in suitors at an hourly rate, the South China Morning Post reports.

On the Chinese social media platform Weibo, some users were sympathetic to Peng's plight, anticipating their own parental showdowns on the Lunar New Year, which falls on January 31 this year.

One user wrote, "Isn't this even more pressure? Forced to marry, now forced to go home."

Others had less empathy: "Not marrying is an act of extreme selfishness. What use is this kind of son?"
