I Spent Three Million on an Elevator, and They Won't Let Me Ride It

I spent three million yuan to install an elevator in a thirty-year-old apartment building.

My parents' knees were in bad shape, but they couldn't bear to leave the neighbors they'd known for years, so they refused to move.

I felt sorry for them and even hired someone specifically to maintain the elevator and take care of the shared facilities.

But one day, when I went back to the old neighborhood to visit my parents,

I saw my mother leaning against the wall, bent over as she climbed the stairs one step at a time.
