A resident of Liuyang, Hunan province, who had been in coma for four months regained consciousness on his 58th birthday last week.

Zhou Xibang suffered from apoplexy and went into coma this summer.

Doctors had instructed Zhou's family to feed him through a syringe every four hours, massage him once every hour and call out his name every half an hour.

When one of his relatives called out his name last week on his 58th birthday, Zhou reacted. He has been recovering well ever since.
