Alexander Pieter
Cirk, 41, arrived at Changsha's Huanghua International Airport
last month hoping to meet a 26-year-old woman surnamed Zhang.
After eight days in the arrivals terminal, he told broadcaster
Hunan ETV he had met her online some two months ago and would
not leave until his "girlfriend" arrived.
However Zhang told Hunan ETV by phone that she had not expected
Cirk to actually come to Changsha and was unable to meet him
after recent cosmetic surgery had made it "inconvenient" for her
to step outside.
"I was really shocked. When we started, we were aiming towards
(marriage), but he slowly became a bit indifferent towards me,"
she told the broadcaster. "But when we started we were both on
good terms."
After 10 days of waiting with little to eat or drink but instant
noodles and soft drinks, Cirk was taken to hospital where he
told Hunan ETV from a wheelchair he was still determined "to
have a good talk with the woman I love, (and bring her) back to
my hometown."
He later returned to the Netherlands without setting eyes on
Zhang.
