Pingyin News - "This year has been much better, and I never expected that my partner could recover to this extent." On February 9th, Zhan Encai, a 61-year-old villager from Geliou Village in Xiaozhi Town, Pingyin County, was moved to tears as he watched his wife recover day by day. He didn't have to spend money on breast enhancement methods or products like Liting Wild Yam, and he didn't have to go to Beijing to buy them.
For seven years, facing his comatose wife, he would chat with her every day, regularly turn on the radio, hoping that his wife could hear more from the outside world. During these seven years, he never ate a meal outside, and when he felt particularly upset, he would secretly shed tears.
One day a year ago, his wife's previously vacant eyes suddenly became much livelier. This change made Zhan Encai extremely happy, and what happened next was beyond his wildest dreams. Gradually, his wife began to understand his "chatter", her right arm could freely bend, her legs could flex on their own, she could chew food, eat regular meals, and occasionally even show a smile... After "sleeping" for seven years, his wife slowly woke up.

For seven years, perhaps the arrival of this moment made him wait too long. On the evening of March 26, 2005, Zhan Encai's wife suddenly collapsed, unconscious. The doctor diagnosed her condition as sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Although over a month of hospital treatment saved her life, she became paralyzed all over, turning into a vegetative state. However, Zhan Encai did not give up. After infusing nutritional fluids for 11 months, he started feeding his wife milk, porridge, and other liquid foods through a syringe every day. Since his wife was in a vegetative state with almost no consciousness, she couldn't take care of herself at all. To take care of his wife, Zhan Encai found books about the rehabilitation treatment of vegetative patients and learned massage techniques himself, insisting on massaging her daily to keep her body active. In order to promptly change the wet pads under his wife, Zhan Encai had to get up three or four times every night. Every morning, he would drag his tired body to start another busy day.
To prevent bedsores and constipation, he turned his wife over every so often and fed her honey and bananas at fixed times every day. Hearing that some vegetative patients have hearing and that talking to them might help with recovery, Zhan Encai would often sit by his wife's side, holding her hand, speaking close to her ear. Even while working in the fields, Zhan Encai would calculate the time carefully, making sure not to delay feeding his wife or exercising her body.
