no ramp -- "no problem;
we'll carry you"

"only 102 steps to go"

lift up two steps,
slide down one -- "ayhee"

half-way up -- "hang on"

whew! what a ride! what a view!

"thanks for the lift"!

the lift volunteers were members
of Chairman Deng's elite private guard

good friend, Prof. Kurt-Alphons Jochheim, first president of Rehabilitation International, helped with the lifting
