Lost his arms from an accident at age 10, Liu Wei from Beijing never gives up living strong. He managed to do everything with his feet and started to learn to play piano at age 19. His dream is to become a musician. He just turned 23 and he won the China's Got Talent Show on Oct. 10, 2010. In the final, he played piano and sang the song "You Are Beautiful", perhaps his vocal is not the best render of this song, but the power and inspiration of his zest for life won him the final. Bravo! Liu Wei's motto is,"I have two options - I can die as fast as possible, or I can live a brilliant life. And I chose the latter." Congrats to Liu Wei! Liu Wei's quotes: "To me, there are 3 things can not be missed in life - air, water and music." "There are only 2 paths in my life for me - either to die as fast as possible, or to live as brilliant a life as I could." "I don't feel that I am that different from other people. Normally everyone is used to do everything with one's hands so your hands are more flexible. There is no rule saying that you can't do things with your feet." "A man should be responsible to his dreams. My dream is to become a great musician." "I know if I want to do it better than other people, I have to put in more efforts" On the note he wrote on the paper in this clip, it says'" Walk on, at least I have a pair of perfect legs." His mother said in the clip,"Sometimes his legs would cramp, he couldn't put any strength on them. He has worked harder than normal people."

Or what? We have freedom of speech in my country; a weird concept, I know. China has money -- great. A shame it can't use that money to buy the history that the Western world had, which led to us ruling you. Let me know when China has caught up, beyond the world of economics, and maybe I'll take China a little bit more seriously. No racism intended but, there's a China's Got Talent?! How the hell would they be able to choose one talent with the millions of ludicrously talented Asians out there (I'm joking)? Also, skip to 2:20 for the goods minus the Chinese, for those not fluent. yeah or someone else does it I think That nearly actually made me cry :') should have sticked to solely playing the piano ;) I say he sounds better than James Blunt. He might file the nails of one foot down with the other foot. That's my logical explanation. I agree! It's true! 表演精彩 令人難忘 令人感動落淚 where the hell did you hear that o.o he has a very handsome face. he's voice not good but he's good playing the piano with his feet... your amazing damnit english subtitles! where are u when i need to listen to this amazingly talented chinese dude? how can people watch this video and not cry. it boggles my mind. dude he's chinese. if you or I tried to read chinese to a group of people in china (without prior knowledge of the language) they would all think we sound like idiots. he did a good job with accent in my opinion. he lost his arms in an ACCIDENT dumbass. Amazing But it's true... it's normal there to see a baby with one month at street, and chienese ignore it My full salute to Liu Wei for having that strong courage and perseverance for achieving thus far despite all the disabilities and turning it into special capabilities. I just don't understand what is wrong with the 396 dislikes for this video and some of those idiotic commentators here.... Why don't they just shut the fuck up and go fuck themselves in hell.... Im inspired... to play piano now... i always thought that you couldn't play piano with short fingers but it seems if anything is possible if you practice hard enough and of course nothing compares to this dude.I respect him alot from seeing this video. من أعظم المواهبه التي شاهدتها
