Heartwarming footage has emerged from China of a man wearing traditional Imperial robes trying to find a girlfriend by handing out roses on the street on Chinese Valentine's Day.

The video, filmed in Mianyang, Sichuan Province last Friday, shows Yuan Chunlei handing out flowers on the street and he keeps going even though most of the women don't accept his offer.

Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as Qixi Festival, fell on August 9 this year. Its customs and traditions are largely similar to Valentine's Day in the West.

Yuan later said that he will not give up until a girl accepts a rose and his love.
