Man in Harbin plays Cupid for 38 years

In the past 38 years, Gao Jijie has helped 3,530 people find the right partner and he has never charged anyone for the work he did.

"In 1980s, I noticed that lots of my colleagues didn't have boyfriend or girlfriend although they had reached marriage age because they were working out of station," said Gao, 67, a retired railway worker in Harbin, capital city of Heilongjiang province. "So I began my second job of introducing potential boyfriends or girlfriends to my colleagues."

After retirement in 2006, he became a full-time matchmaker at a 30-square-meter office, which also doubles as his home.
