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 Hunan ETV he had met her online some two months ago and would not leave until his "girlfriend" arrived.

亞歷山大．彼得．塞克，41歲，上月抵達長沙的黃驊國際機場，希望和一位26歲的張姓女子見面。在入境航廈待了8天後，他告訴湖南經視頻道，他約2個月前在網路上與她邂逅，直到他的「女友」抵達前不會離開。

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.

不過，張女透過電話告訴湖南經視頻道，她沒料到塞克真會來長沙，而她最近剛做美容手術，「不便」出門，所以無法見他。

"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."

她告訴這家電視台：「我真的好訝異。一開始時，我們有（朝婚姻走的）打算，但他慢慢對我變得有些冷淡。」「不過，我倆一剛開始關係很要好。」

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."

等候10天極少飲食，只吃了泡麵和軟性飲料，塞克之後被送往醫院，並在那裡坐著輪椅告訴湖南經視頻道，他還是決定「和那個我愛的女人好好談，（並把她）帶回家鄉。」

He later returned to the Netherlands without setting eyes on Zhang.（Reuters）

他後來回去荷蘭，沒有見到張女。（路透）
