A newspaper was forced to apologize after it accidentally printed a woman's number in a personal ad in Nanning, capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Zheng, who received more than 100 nuisance calls a day since the ad was published, quickly complained to the relevant government departments after she learned about it.

The actual ad was from a local dating agency and it came from a woman seeking a husband.
