He told reporters: ‘I think it’s too much. I just wanted to protect my rights. I didn’t think this would happen.’
The residential management office initially denied their responsibility for the broken door as there was no evidence to prove it had shattered itself, said a spokesperson.
They eventually agreed to pay for part of Mr Zhang’s medical bills after the video became viral, according to the tenant.
