A Hong Kong woman who didn't want to lose her younger boyfriend, altered the date of birth on her passport to make herself younger, but she didn't fool immigration officers in Shanghai.

After her arrival at Pudong Airport, an officer saw that she wasn't the youthful woman she tried to be.

Under questioning, she admitted she changed 1968 to 1978 using a small piece of paper over the 6, which made her 10 years younger.

She explained she wanted to keep her boyfriend who was actually 12 years younger than she.

Her forthright attitude led authorities to let her pass through.
