A 17-year-old boy from Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, traveled all the way to Zhenjiang, another city, hoping to meet a 16-year-old girl he had been chatting with online for a year.

The girl had promised to meet him at a particular spot in Zhenjiang, her hometown, at noon on Oct 22.

The boy, who claimed to be in love, waited for hours but the girl didn't show up.

She didn't appear online either. The boy decided to wait a couple of days, hoping she might pop up online.

He had only enough money to pay the hotel tariff, so he did not eat.

The boy fainted on a street in Zhenjiang two days later. The police have sent him back to his hometown.
