An 8-year-old boy from Hunan Province, China, has miraculously regained consciousness 55 days after falling into a coma following a traffic accident.
The boy, Liu Chushi, went into a coma in November 2025, suffering severe brain damage and lung injuries. Doctors had warned that the chances of him waking up were extremely slim.
Despite the grim prognosis, Liu’s mother refused to give up. She took him to multiple hospitals in search of possible treatments.
Following a doctor’s advice, she began playing familiar sounds and his favorite music near his bedside to stimulate specific areas of the brain.
In addition, Liu’s teacher helped his classmates record short, emotional video messages, encouraging him to wake up. In one video, a child said, “Chushi, wake up soon, we want to play football together,” while another added, “We all miss you. If you can hear our voices, please open your eyes.”
After continuously playing these videos, Liu’s eyelids began to move 45 days into his coma. A few days later, he smiled upon hearing his teacher’s voice, and on the 55th day, he fully regained consciousness, even managing to move his left hand.
His teacher and classmates later visited him in the hospital and presented him with gifts. Liu’s mother described the moment as life-changing, saying, “We finally saw the sun break through the clouds, and a miracle became possible.”
Liu is now recovering well and showing rapid improvement in his health.
