In need of inspiration?
'Nobody say piano have to be with hands.'

An armless pianist who plays with his toes has won the first series of China's Got Talent.

Liu Wei, 23, lost both his arms at age 10 in an electrical accident that occurred during a game of hide-and-seek. He taught himself to play the piano at age 18.

Liu defeated seven-year-old stand-up comedian Zhang Fengxi at the final on Sunday (local time) at Shanghai Stadium, the Shanghai Daily reports.
