Man says he is still single as house is 'unlucky'

A 30-year-old man blames his mother, who bought an "unlucky apartment" in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, for not being able to find a suitable wife in so many years.

Shang said his mother bought an apartment, which is numbered 11 on the 11th floor of a building, years ago, adding that she went ahead and bought the house even though he had told her number 11 was unlucky for him.
