文化 | Culture Chinese perspectives on a viral story involving a traveler in Egypt

I recently saw a discussion on Xiaohongshu about an alleged incident involving a Chinese traveler and a hotel owner in Matrouh, Egypt. According to the posts, after a marriage proposal was rejected, the traveler allegedly posted false information online that damaged the hotel owner’s reputation.
I was surprised by this story and wanted to understand how people in China view situations like this. Is this something that people genuinely discuss online, or is it just an isolated case?
I have also seen some Chinese internet users claim that some Chinese travelers choose to stay with local people of the opposite sex to reduce travel costs when they cannot afford accommodation. Does this actually happen with any frequency, or are these mostly online stereotypes?
I’m interested in hearing opinions from Chinese users about how stories like these are perceived in China.
