A man in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou province, fell into a coma on Sunday and doctors said it's because he played mahjong non-stop for 32 hours.

The man, surnamed Zhang, 30, began playing on Friday night and fell off his mahjong chair on Sunday morning. His partners went home and were replaced by new partners on Saturday afternoon.
