The daughter, who relies on her mother's pension support, has been deemed ungrateful. With the weather turning colder, the government took decisive action to place the 90-year-old in a care facility.

Background

The incident occurred in Xinjing District 5th Community in Shanghai, drawing considerable attention. At 90 years old, Han was forced by her eldest daughter, Shi, to live outside the home due to property disputes, despite her daughter’s own financial troubles due to frozen banking accounts from loan issues. Shi relied solely on her mother's monthly pension of RMB 4,900 (approximately HKD 5,400).

Detailed Circumstances

Schi used her mother’s pension to live luxuriously while demanding that her mother help recover RMB 1.07 million that she alleged her two sisters had obtained from selling her mother's property without her consent for the purpose of paying her own mortgage. In contrast, her two younger sisters claimed they had obtained her mother's consent and refused to come to the community to negotiate, further complicating the situation.
