The entire front page of a Melbourne newspaper was bought by a Chinese mother desperately urging her son to come home from Australia for the upcoming Spring Festival.

“I have called you several times and you did not take my calls. Maybe the only way to get my message to you is here. Mom and Dad will not pressure you to get married ever again. Please come back home for New Year! Love, Mom,” read the front page advertisement of Chinese Melbourne Daily.

According to Want China Times, an employee of the paper surnamed Miao revealed that the mother lived in Guangzhou and her son had chosen to work in Melbourne after completing his studies there.

The boy’s family had frequently nagged him to return to China and get married but the boy was reluctant to do so.
