An elderly woman has regained consciousness after 10 years in a coma, surprising local doctors in Nanjing.

The woman's husband, Yang, 75, has spent the past 10 years singing songs to his wife, Chang, and playing his electronic keyboard at her bedside.

The two have known each other since childhood and have been married for 50 years.

But in 1996 Chang became seriously ill and fell into a coma. Yang began learning to play the keyboard and wrote songs for his wife, remembering that she loved to hear him singing when they were young.

Chang recently opened her eyes when Yang finished singing a song, clearly calling out his name.
