Armless Pianist Wins 'China's Got Talent'

Liu Wei, a 23 years old armless pianist who lost both arms in a childhood accident and plays the piano with his toes, has won China's Got Talent. Liu Wei performed his version of James Blunt's love song You're Beautiful to a packed audience at the Shanghai Stadium.



Liu's arms were amputated after he suffered an electrical shock while playing hide-and-seek when he was 10.

At the age of 18, he decided to pursue a career in music, using his feet to play the piano, much as he uses them to navigate on the computer, eat, dress and brush his teeth.
