80-year-old man puts himself up for adoption

LAST year, on a cold December day, Han Zicheng decided to write a note. “Lonely old man in his 80s. Strong-bodied. Can shop, cook and take care of himself. No chronic illness. I retired from a scientific research institute in Tianjin, with a monthly pension of 6,000 RMB ($A1200) a month,” is what he wrote, according to the New York Post.
