BEIJING -- A 17-year-old boy in northeastern China was so
disappointed with the looks of a woman he met over the Internet
that he hanged himself after seeing her face-to-face, state media
reported Friday.
The unnamed teenager first contacted the woman -- known by her chat
moniker "Qunjiaofeiyang", or "Flying Skirt" -- using the popular
Chinese online messaging software QQ, Xinhua news agency
said.
The girl described herself as a beautiful 19-year-old and the pair
chatted on the Web for weeks before arranging a December 26
rendezvous in the nearby city of Mudanjiang, in far northeastern
Heilongjiang province.
The boy arrived to discover the woman far less attractive than
advertised and 10 years older than him, Xinhua said.
The boy immediately returned home, lost his appetite, and four days
later hanged himself from a tree.
