China News Service, February 10. According to a comprehensive report by the US Chinese website, a Chinese woman in New York who was attacked for no reason recently woke up after being in a coma for two months, much to the surprise of her family.

  During Thanksgiving last year, Ms. Ma, 61, was helping her landlord and friend's house in Jackson Heights, Queens, when she was verbally assaulted by a man who hit her in the head with a rock.

  Ms Ma has been in a coma since she was taken to Elmhurst Hospital.

Until Monday (February 7), after his family was allowed to visit, they were told the good news that Ms Ma had her eyes open and was able to move her right arm and leg.

  Ms. Ma's husband, Mr. Gao, described it as a miracle in an interview with local media abc7 in New York.

"It's the first time we've heard she's awake. I'm very happy, very happy," he said.

  Mr. Gao continued: "In the beginning, she was sleeping. I called her name. She responded to me. I asked her to move her hand, she moved her hand. Made her move her leg. She moved her leg. ."

  But Ms Ma is still paralyzed on the left side of her body, and she will still face a long and expensive recovery process.

Relatives and friends have set up a fundraising page for her on the Internet, which said that Ms. Ma, from Liaoning, China, lost her job due to the epidemic and had no medical insurance, while Mr. Gao worked in a restaurant, and their sons and grandchildren were in China. .

  The 33-year-old suspect, Elisaul Perez, has been arrested for the egregious incident.

His next court hearing is scheduled for April.

According to reports, he has a long criminal record and has been arrested at least 14 times, the earliest dating back to 2009.

  Mr. Gao said he hoped the suspects would stay in prison and no longer have the opportunity to destroy other people's lives.

"Before this incident, he had been arrested 14 times. If he is released again, he will likely attack others again," he said.

  It is unclear whether Ms Ma will be able to regain her language skills. Relatives and friends wrote in the fundraising post: "The road to recovery is still long, very long, but we are seeing light."
