Seventy-year-old man Zhang Longhui called a local newspaper hoping to find his first love 50 years ago, Xiaoxiang Morning Post reported today.

"I want to reunite with my first love, could you help me?" Zhang asked a reporter of the newspaper based in Changsha, Hunan province.

Zhang's hair has grown grey at the temples but his face looked flushed when he talked about his first love.

"Her name is Wang Guifang and she has a pair of beautiful eyes and long pigtails. She is a peach. We fell in love at first sight on a street and dated each other often and always had a lot to talk about," Zhang said.

One year after they met, Zhang was transferred to another place to work and his letters to his lover always were sent back. She was said to work in another place and they never met again.

"All I have now is our memory of walking together and two of her love letters. I just want to know whether she is good and happy now. My sons live well now and I would like to give her my savings if she needs it," Zhang said.
