China's central government has set up a match-making website to help thousands of busy but lonely employees find love at work.
Published: 5:27PM GMT 21 Jan 2010
The official website for the "Central Government Unions Magpie Bridge" - featuring a young man and woman peering at each other around the corner of a log cabin - calls itself "the most trustworthy matchmaking platform".
"Are you still single and bitter?" asks the pink-themed website.
"Members are high calibre, are well-educated and have stable jobs," it says.
Taking a decidely less romantic tone, it goes on: "All information has been confirmed by the labour union at their respective employer, and registered with the Ministry of Public Security, to assure accuracy and reliability."
Magpie Bridge is named after the bridge of birds that once a year connects mythical Chinese lovers Niu Lang and Zhi Nu.
The website aims to provide a "pure and safe environment", different from commercial match-making sites which are notorious in China for being filled with fake personal information.
