Special delivery: caring Chinese mother hires crane to lift delicate post-caesarean daughter-in-law to 7th-floor home
- Anxious grandmother comes to rescue as new mother struggles with post-birth pain
- Wants happiness for daughter-in-law, plans to spoil her as ‘member of family’
A woman in China who hired a crane to lift her daughter-in-law, who was recovering from birth surgery, to the family’s seventh-floor home has delighted people on mainland social media.
The younger woman was discharged from hospital at the end of March after giving birth by caesarean section, and returned home to Shenyang, Liaoning province, northeastern China, reported Jimu News.
With no lift in the building, the mother-in-law, surnamed Wang, was concerned the new mother would struggle to climb the stairs so soon after surgery.
She asked her son to contact a crane company so they could use the vehicle’s platform.
In a viral video uploaded by Wang on Douyin, a crane worker was seen accompanying a young woman onto the platform while the vehicle elevated them to the balcony of her home.
“I am delighted to have a grandson. My daughter-in-law is discharged from hospital and going home in a crane,” Wang said in a Douyin post.
