A Dutch man named Alexander Pieter Cirk,who is 41years of age, recently flew from Holland to Hunan province in the hope of meeting his online girlfriend, a Chinese woman known only as
Zhang.. Cirk met his 26-year-old girlfriend on an app two months before and decided to fly to visit her. But she did not come to meet him at the airport, BBC reported.
The 26-year-old girlfriend, Zhang told Chinese media she thought it was a joke. She said she was in a different province getting plastic surgery done and had her phone off when Cirk came to visit.

She told Hunan TV:
“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.”
Mr Cirk reportedly flew back to the Netherlands shortly after being treated in hospital.
Despite the failed first meeting Ms Zhang is said to be willing to meet Cirk after his recovery and continue their relationship.
'Why would anyone do this?'
The hashtag "Foreign man went to Changsha to meet his online girlfriend" has been trending on micro-blogging site Weibo.- "He must be stupid, why would anyone do this?" asked one user.
- "Doesn't he know that everything in China is fake?" said another.
- "Perhaps she did go to the airport, saw what he looked like, and promptly turned back around," was a theory proposed by another user.
- "Here's a guy taking a relationship seriously, don't play around with his feelings," the netizen said. "If you don't want him anymore, tell him so he can go home."
- "What does this say about Chinese integrity?", asked another.
