Tears of Joy! 8-Year-Old Boy Wakes Up After 55 Days in Coma, Classmates Create Inspiring Recovery Video

On November 22, 2025, "Liu Chu Xi", an 8-year-old boy from Hunan Province, China, was involved in a car accident while returning home from school. Local hospital diagnostics revealed severe brain injury, with doctors initially assessing very low chances of recovery. After a few days, his mother decided to transfer him to another hospital. Throughout his coma, she stayed close, holding his hand and sharing school stories to stimulate his consciousness. Doctors recommended playing familiar sounds to stimulate his brain. The mother quickly contacted his class teacher and school. Upon hearing the news, teachers and classmates collaborated to collect familiar sounds - classroom learning audio, morning wake-up songs, exercise music, and encouraging video messages. Some classmates even left cute messages like, "We've saved your seat, hurry back!" His mother played these audio clips daily, with no initial response. However, her efforts never stopped. On the 45th day of his coma, while playing a New Year's performance song sent by friends, the boy began showing slight responses, with his eyelids slowly opening. On the 51st day, amid calls from teachers and classmates, the boy even smiled while still keeping his eyes closed. By the 55th day, doctors officially confirmed his awakening. The good news spread to the school, with classmates overjoyed. The school arranged for his teacher and close friends to visit. Although he couldn't fully open his eyes, he tried to wave in response. Currently, the boy's condition continues to improve, with his family, teachers, and friends eagerly awaiting his full recovery and return to school.
