A musician who lost both arms in a childhood accident and plays the piano with his toes won China’s Got Talent, bringing the audience to a standing ovation with his rendition of You’re Beautiful.

All three judges on the show praised Liu Wei for his determination, urging him to keep on pursuing his dreams, and the Beijing native said he would try, quipping that: “At least I have a pair of perfect legs.”

Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, one of the judges, invited Liu to perform on her world tour.

Mr Liu may also have the chance for a performing contract.
