Creepy or cute? Chinese man Photoshops himself into girlfriend’s childhood photos [View all]

AS ROMANTIC gestures go, this is certainly ... something.

A young man over in China has marked the fourth anniversary of his relationship by Photoshopping himself into the childhood pictures of his girlfriend. He posted the altered images on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging site.

“I want to send my love letter to little you, but without a time machine, the only thing I can do is come into your dream to meet you,” the man, whose surname is Wan, said.

“I was unable to meet you when you were little, but I can come to your childhood and play with you.”
