It was a scene right out of the Hollywood hit "Sleepless in Seattle" in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province, reports Yangtze Evening News.

An eight-year-old girl recently called a matchmaker's office in the city, seeking a husband for her widowed mother. According to the girl, her father died two years ago and her mother, Chen, has been grieving since then.

With the help of the matchmaking office, the girl arranged for her mother to meet a man who works at a joint venture - and the two seemed to have got off on the right foot in their first encounter.
