Man Flies To China To Meet The Love Of His Life, Waits 10 Days And She Doesn’t Show Up

#1 A lovesick Dutch man waited for ten days in a Chinese airport for a date to arrive. . .

a luckless ordeal which left him requiring hospital treatment after developing severe health problems.

#2 Alexander Pieter Cirk, 41, flew from Holland to Huanghua International Airport in Changsha, Hunan province,

south China on July 22 in the hope of meeting a 26-year-old woman he met online two months ago, known only by the surname Zhang.

#3 When he found no one waiting for him at the airport,

Mr Cirk refused to leave the building and ended up sleeping there for ten nights, according to People's Daily Online.

#4 The prolonged wait coupled with lack of sleep and adequate nutrition

had a bad effect on the Dutchman, causing him to pass out as an effect of his severe diabetes.

With his condition worsening, emergency services were summoned to airport, where they quickly took Mr Cirk away for treatment.

#5 Ms Zhang told news reporter:

that she had been having plastic surgery treatment in Zhengzhou while Mr Cirk waited, and had turned her phone off while her face was wrapped in gauze.

The 26-year-old confirmed she did not expect Mr Cirk to make the 5,400 mile one-way trip from his home city Amsterdam to Changsha.

#6 She told a local news channel:

"We had advanced our romantic relationship but later he seemed a little callous towards me.

One day he sent me a photo of air tickets abruptly, and I thought it was a joke.

He didn't contact me later."

#7 It’s not all bad though.

Cirk made some friends at the hospital, returned to The Netherlands all healthy and is currently talking to Zhang to arrange less of an impromptu meeting. Lovely.

#8 So there’s a lesson for you, boys and girls,

if you feel like you've been stood up, wait it out for long enough until you're hospitalised and hope that your potential loved one's in the same boat.
