A famous singer from Taiwan, who uses a wheelchair, had a bad experience at an airport in China.
When he tried to get on his airplane, the special lift for wheelchairs didn't go all the way to the door.
This meant he had to crawl a short distance to get onto the plane.
He shared his story online, and many people saw it.
The airport said sorry and promised to make things better for people who need help getting around.
Taiwanese singer Zheng Zhihua, 63, reported being forced to crawl onto a Shenzhen Airlines flight.

Zheng Zhihua, who is paralyzed from the waist down due to polio, detailed the ordeal on social media.
Shenzhen Airport stated the gap was due to safety regulations and apologized, promising improved services for disabled passengers.
