Can't say 'it's over'? Tell break-up agent

Beijing: Finding it difficult to say "it's over" to their partner, many in China are now seeking professional help of "break-up agents".

On e-commerce platform Taobao.com, these agents promise customers that they will "set them free from their spouses" by chatting, writing break-up letters and even sending back the gifts the lovers have given each other at the start of their relationship, the Shanghai Daily reported.

They charge 10 to 200 yuan ($31) an hour to break the 'bitter' news.

However, for anyone still wishing to have a relation with someone else, these agents are ready to offer their services to help them win a heart again.
