Disappointed Dutch man waits 10 days in Chinese airport for online girlfriend

Alexander Pieter Cirk, 41,  flew from Holland to Hunan province in the hope of meeting his online girlfriend, a Chinese  known  as Zhang, who  failed to show up  after a long wait.

According Mr Cirk he met Ms Zhang, 26, on the internet and picked a relationship with her. He decided to fly to visit her, but when he got to Hunan found no-one had come to meet him. He refused to leave the airport for the next 10 days, and was eventually taken to hospital suffering physical exhaustion, according to reports by Hunan TV.

Ms Zhang contacted the TV channel a day after the report aired to give her side, saying that she had thought it had all been a joke.

You might expect love to hurt, but for one lovesick Dutch man in China it resulted in a hospital trip for exhaustion.
