China boy, 8, wakes from 55-day coma, responding to classmates’ voices in uplifting video

An eight-year-old boy in central China who spent 55 days in a coma was brought back to consciousness by the heartfelt calls of his classmates in their videos.

Liu Chuxi, a pupil from Yueyang, Hunan province, fell into a coma after a car accident in November last year, according to a report by the mainland media outlet The Paper.

He suffered severe brain damage and lung injuries in the crash.

Doctors told his family that his chances of waking up were extremely slim.

But his mother refused to give up and took him to multiple hospitals in search of treatment.
