Armless Pianist Conquers China

I don't know if you've been as glued to China's Got Talent as closely as us, but it's been a classic. Though I was initially routing for the kid who could complete Star Wars: Jedi Saga in under three days, eventually Liu Wei and his piano won my heart and now, to my great satisfaction, has won the competition.

The 23-year-old lost his arms in an accident when he was ten, but just like Beethoven overcame having no arms to become one great songwriter, Liu conquered his handicap and learnt to play the piano with his toes.

You think Cher Lloyd has sassitude? You haven't seen anything till you've seen Liu toeing his way through "You're Beautiful".

Second place in the competition went to seven-year-old stand-up comedian Zhang Fengxi, who was fucking shit.
