A Polish man who was in a coma for 19 years finally woke up on May 1.
Jan Grzebski, a man who worked for the Polish railroad company, was hit by a train in 1988. At that time he went into a coma.
Grzebski’s wife, Gertruda, took care of him and was the reason he was still alive.

He woke up to a totally different world. He was surprised that the Communists are no longer in charge and even more surprised to find out he had 11 grandchildren. When he went into the coma, he had four children and no grandchildren.
Doctors said they had expected Grzebski would never wake up from his coma.
“What amazes me today is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and never stop moaning. I’ve got nothing to complain about,” said Grzebski.(Jason Cox, Staff Writer with AFP)
波蘭一名男子昏迷了十九年，終於在五月一日清醒。
任職於波蘭鐵路公司的詹．格賽斯基一九八八年遭火車衝撞，自此陷入昏迷。
全多虧妻子葛楚妲的照顧，他才能存活迄今。
他醒來時人事全非，對共產黨不再掌權大感詫異，發現自己已有十一名孫子女，更令他吃驚。他陷入昏迷時已育有四名子女，但尚未當祖父。
醫生表示，他們原本預期格賽斯基不會再從昏迷中清醒。
格賽斯基說︰「今日讓我訝異的是，所有人都帶著手機趴趴走，而且怨聲不斷。我沒什麼好抱怨的。」（翻譯︰賴美君）
The third-hottest July worldwide ended a string of record-breaking temperatures last month, but many regions were still devastated by extreme weather amplified by global warming, the European climate monitoring service said Thursday last week. Heavy rains flooded Pakistan and northern China; Canada, Scotland and Greece struggled to tame wildfires intensified by persistent drought; and many nations in Asia and Scandinavia recorded new average highs for the month. “Two years after the hottest July on record, the recent streak of global temperature records is over,” Carlo Buontempo, director of the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement. “But that
Peacocks are among the most beautiful birds in the world. Their bright feathers and graceful movements have fascinated humans for centuries. These magnificent creatures belong to the pheasant family and are found in regions across Asia and Africa. Let’s explore peacocks’ unique characteristics and cultural significance. There are three main species of peacock: the well-known Indian peafowl, native to South Asia; the endangered green peafowl from Southeast Asia; and the rare Congo peafowl, found in African rainforests.

Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Whale shark reproduction has long been a mystery for scientists. However, a significant discovery in 1995 off the eastern coast of Taiwan provided valuable insights. Researchers examined a pregnant female of the species and found over 300 embryos inside her body, ranging from about 40 to 60 cm in length. This discovery revealed that whale sharks are ovoviviparous. Instead of laying eggs in the ocean, the mother carries them internally until they hatch, giving birth to fully developed live young. Since the eggs don’t hatch all at once, embryos at different stages of development can all exist within
