Armless pianist wins talent show in China

October 12, 2010

Armless pianist Liu Wei plays the piano with his feet whilst he sings during the final of the TV show "China's Got Talent" held in Shanghai.

Liu, who lost both arms in a childhood accident, won "China's Got Talent" performing his version of James Blunt's song "You're Beautiful". The 23-year old Beijing native started playing the piano at 19. His first teacher quit because he thought it was impossible for someone to play with their toes.
