Elevator closed, senior citizens have to walk up 24 floors, risking life and limb

At approximately 7 p.m. on Wednesday September 23, 2014, in front of the Nankai District, Tianjin city government headquarters 50-60 people gathered, including senior citizens, women holding infants and young men and women just off work. They are proprietors of apartments in Nankai district’s Shuipan Garden. Imperious maintenance managers closed the elevator and wouldn’t let the proprietors use it. They had nowhere to appeal but the district government, calling out: “We want to return home.”

Shuipan Garden’s maintenance service providers shut down the elevators on Tuesday September 23, 2014. This forced the apartment owners to climb more than 20 stories. One old man more than 70 years old had to climb 24 stories. His heart disease was exacerbated, if he hadn’t had his medicine it would have been a big problem.

At 6 p.m. on Tuesday September 23, 2014, the apartment owners went to the city government headquarters to protest by blocking traffic. At approximately 7 p.m. the government talked with the maintenance company, but they remained obstinate. On Wednesday September 24, 2014, negotiations were again organized. At first the maintenance office, neighborhood committee, street committee all agreed with the proprietors, but suddenly after a Mister Du Jing showed up they changed their tune. The apartment owners suspected that Mr. Du had a powerful political patron, otherwise how did they lose the government’s support so quickly?

According to a knowledgeable source, Du Jing owns two apartments in the second phase of the development, so he’s director of the apartment owner’s committee. But his real identity is as the behind-the-scenes developer of the project. Du Jing is both acting as a competitor and referee, how can apartment buyers have their legitimate rights and interests protected?
