You would think after waiting for a few hours, this dutch man would just give up and leave. But he waited for so long that he was hospitalised for exhaustion.
Dutch man-Alexander Pieter Cirk, 41, met a Chinese woman known only as Zhang online—and she became his “girlfriend”.
Cirk then purchased a ticket and flew from Holland to Hunan province of China, to meet his online girlfriend.
According to the BBC;
He ended up spending 10 days waiting at Changsha airport, after she failed to show up. And he has won little sympathy in China.
Mr Cirk told Chinese media that he met Ms Zhang, 26, in an app two months ago and romance blossomed.
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.
Interesting, Ms Zhang was real. She contacted the TV channel a day after the report aired to give her side, claiming she thought it was a joke and didn’t actually known Cirk was coming.
“We had advanced our romantic relationship but later he seemed a little callous towards me,” Ms Zhang told Hunan TV.
“One day he sent me a photo of air tickets abruptly and I thought it was a joke. He didn’t contact me later.”
