BEIJING, June 1 (Xinhua) -- The tally of confirmed A/H1N1 flu cases on the Chinese mainland has risen to 34 as Beijing announced Monday afternoon one more person in the city was tested to have contracted the virus.

No more details are available at this time about the latest confirmed flu case, the ninth of the kind in Beijing.

Health authorities in east China's Fujian Province said Monday a man who was confirmed to have contracted A/H1N1 flu virus four days ago recovered and was discharged from a local hospital.

Xie Zhendong, 25, has had normal temperature for 106 hours. Other flu symptoms, such as having a running nose and coughing, have abated, qualifying Xie's clean bill of health in accordance with standards drafted by the Chinese Ministry of Health for discharging A/H1N1 flu patients from hospitals, said Fujian Provincial Health Department.

Before Xie was discharged from Fuzhou Respiratory Diseases Hospital Monday, the Fujian Provincial Disease Control and Prevention Center conducted two separate tests over samples obtained from the man in the past two days. Both tests proved negative for A/H1N1 flu.
