I'm a pianist , he plays more beautiful than I do with my hands! :) bless him x

[Cliffhangerization]

This is so touching and inspirational.

Beautiful. Amazing. Pure genius.

And now, Mariage D'amour is my favorite song.

It now tells a story to me when I hear it.

[taylor456100]

it is so sad that he lost his arm and it is hard using your feet

[d1doparichko]

Thank you for english translate.He is tru talent.

[Ando000]

Mind = Blown

[sacredb0b]

sugoi desu desu desu kawaiii desu

[LaughingGor888]

PLEASE BURN IN HELL AND DIE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DISRESPECTED HIM.

[gabedyy]

Bill Bailey's under the hood man.

[danpholuc]

[danpholuc]

sugoi desu ne!

[danpholuc]

他 使 我 更 爱 生活！他 是 天才！

[lab4x16]

"I think I only have two choices in life, either die now or live a wonderful life.."

[Sasudela]

Wow. Simply amazing.

[caucasianfection]

[dogstyle2222]

How does he buckle his pants, wipe his butt, do his hair (it's obivious someone does it) and do all those things he's really amazing

[tranle23]

@dogstyle2222 Well I'm sure others are curious too, but he finds a way to do them. ^^

[marie1000ist]

ah dirty china

[AlboTerraThug]

@marie1000ist

your moms vagina?

[GenerationDarkness]

@marie1000ist usa is MADE IN CHINA, bitch.

[craymund]

@marie1000ist not as dirty as your face..

[dogstyle2222]

The way he says everything is so confident and unwavering without an ounce of self pity. Respect

[pokereak3344]

27 people? 27 people disliked this video?Seriously does a small bunch of people here think that an armless person playing the piano is rubbish? GO GET YOURSELF A LIFE (Not that you deserve one, sadists) AND ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING SOMEONE WOULD APPRECIATE.

[spamstoper3]

5*********

[hotpoop07]

this niggas raw i cant even play the piano with hands! i can barley pick up something with my toes while this dudes playing the freakin piano!

[lettyyyy]

wow.

[yonschnee16]

Even thought Liu Wei has no arms, 26 people have no heart.

[fedrixnovan]

Whoever dislike this video, you must play better piano with your feet

[adinblackhawk45]

Respect Bro !!!

[theotherguythere]

Who could possibly hit the dislike button? 

[SundancePioneer]

Is the sustain pedal constantly pushed down?

[minederp]

FUCKING AMAZING

[Chikyeux]

:"D wow! hes got a good face too!!

[iamthecoolbeans]

omfg. my jaw is on the floor. holy shit..

[MrPSPreview]

26 people can't play this even with their hands, and never will in their whole life

[Synergyzer3]

@MrPSPreview tool

[Luckasaurus]

fake and gay

[chilluout]

@Luckasaurus Just like you.

[Luckasaurus]

@chilluout Wow! Good one! LOLOLOL. umadbro? ujelly?

[ginner321]

I clicked dislike because I want to see you all sh1t yourself with anger

[kirolajka]

@ginner321 sounds fun..!?

[eternallybored143]

@88mestari88 i don't think she meant to treat him like an idiot, it's just the way we chinese people talk to each other. we don't mean any offense or anything, we're just curious. also, the english subtitles on this are slightly different from what she's actually saying.

[GarudaDesuyo]

24 people should just get Cancer and die

[noobwow2009]

24 people are blind and deaf!

[ASilverPeony]

@noobwow2009 No, I think 24 people tried to use their foot to click like but their foot slipped.

[crazycorey1379]

I would like to know who dislikes this and why ?

this Kid is amazing !

I have been through some things in my life and all that together does not compare to having no arms and having an attitude like him ! 

[ranfree2playGM]

I love to be chinese.... I am filipino chinese and i hate me being filipino although i love my mom so much she is an exemption but most of filipinos are just taking advantage and going with you because you have money. that includes my most of our filipino relatives... they think us as their bank...low life people... i fucking hate them.... thats why everytime we go to taiwan in my dad's place... i always ask my mom to stay there for good.... -_-" only if we dont have business in PH zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[darkspirit1973]

@ranfree2playGM Just because some of your family are dicks doesn't mean by any means that all Filipinos are.

[ranfree2playGM]

@darkspirit1973 most filipino are.... that is the truth... if you want more friends... all you need is more money.... if you want more close relatives you need more money.. that is the fact.... are you guilty ? are you one of those social climber ? i mean those people who stick to those who have money?

[Teng5151]

24 people need to listen to mickey avalon because 24 people obviously don't have big d***s

[xxyx88]

i swear this guy beat chuck norris at it. chuck norris would bow down to this pianist. 24 people just need to re-search their conscience, or their lack of it.

[xxyx88]

24 people are just plain heartless and ignorant. Either that or they are not people, they are animals. Wait a minute, i think even the animals will have compassion for this pianist. Then i seriously have nothing to say abt these 24 dislikers.

[rollingcube]

somebody will eventually be asked to write a concerto for this man, just like the concerto for the left hand only.

[bumsukify]

that woman judge is so HOT

[RhythmFreak]

respect.

[atrukis]

what a wonderful person

[opanosftaiei]

R E S P E C T

[yupmonk3yzrul3]

I'M SORRY BUT HE'S PLAYING THE PIANO WITH HIS TOES, HOLY FRIGGIN SHIZZ HOW THE...........................­OHHH LAWD THATS TALENT

[yupmonk3yzrul3]

if someone doesn't give this kid prosthetic arms for free, im gonna be so mad, because if anyone deserves them he does

[patawoonie]

He is superb! Solute his courage and spirit to live on. Let him be the strong testimony for many who think life is difficult and miserable.

[habbott87]

EVEN WITH NO ARMS ASIANS CaN STILL PLAY INStRUMENts!!!!

[Tes2fy]

This gentleman is an amazing testament to one's ability to achieve the impossible while navigating apparently insurmountable obstacles. This is evidence of one's ability to achieve their dream in spite of being told "NO" - I am very highly impressed by this video - but not shocked or surprised, as there are people among us who possess the spirit to succeed in spite of hindrances unwillingly hurled upon them - they continue onward with the obstacle, not in spite of it. Thank you for sharing it.

[brackpersian]

thumbs up if you want to see liu wei play the flight of the bumblebee

[Tes2fy]

@brackpersian

Why should he have to now jump through your hoop? He has already more than proven his ability to play something that the vast majority of humans with all 4 limbs would not even bother to attempt - he has nothing to prove to anyone. If he were to never again strike a note on a piano, he has forever earned this amputee's respect for just having had the mere courage to try it.

[silentcypher]

@brackpersian I'll thumbs down instead.

[LimFuoEn]

@silentcypher ,you should be very lucky as you have arms to do all sorts of things,you should respect other people's feelings.

[silentcypher]

@LimFuoEn

The thumbs down was meant for another comment. Read properly.

[LuisaGan1909]

those who dislikes this suckers no sympathy . this is now airing in singapore . He said i life you either quickly die or live on fantastically . i greatly admire him

[davidhertzberg]

If this is not testimony to the human spirit, I am not sure what is.

[munnonockspirit]

So awesome. I love this guy. I mean, I goof off, pretending to play the piano with my feet but he makes it legit! Kudos Liu Wei!

[Tes2fy]

@munnonockspirit

The sad truth is the he'll never have the chance nor opportunity to mimic you by pretending to play the piano with his hands.

[munnonockspirit]

@Tes2fy It's not sad--he doesn't need to! While it's doubtful I will ever be that good with my toes he's proven his awesomeness beyond reason!

[yabiren]

Those 23 persons who dislike this pianist do not deserve to be called human beings. Only soulless and heartless people find it impossible to appreciate such perseverance, optimism, warmth and talent demonstrated by the pianist. He started learning to play the piano when he was 19, having to endure cramps in his legs and injuries to his feet. It is more than how well he plays the piano; the more valuable part is his spirit. Technicality is secondary to the spirit of the music.

[aiishunVBoii]

@yabiren Maybe 23 people were so inspired by this man that they too tried to do things with their feet. obviously failed.

[SofiaMoSiErn]

Wow. I feel so sad inside of me. I've always had a lot of complaints even life. But after seeing this, I feel so sad. I feel happy for him.

But.. Please don't mind me saying this. I was wearing my socks the whole day, I thought that his feet stunk and went through my speakers. LOL xD Please. I'm so sorry if I've offended anybody. Very sorry. xD

[yoohtooby]

Amazing.. but.. how does he use the pedal?

[CruelHazman]

those who disliked are DEAF...........!!!!

[Holliyu1]

Good Job, 真是人生充满希望，加油！！

[whybiebee]

Amazing, it brought tears to my eyes, what a great guy ! (and what a wise mother !)

[cheepsunglassess]

That, was incredible! He must have applied himself to playing the piano and not much else. I struggle with it so much as it is with hands, but imagine playing with your feet!

[ImThaNo1Stuna]

Bet his APM is 250+ in SC2

[saintwibi]

Only idiot dislike this link

[DzzO]

"I think playing piano is my hobby and I have to insist in the things I want to do". This is the one that sums everything up, IMO.

[TeddyNutsChannel]

What a hero.

[jamie007pwnz]

0:24

The annotation says "Hike and seek" lol

[11105160]

Right from 0:37, he made me move to tears ...

"I think I only have 2 choices in my life,either die now or live a wonderful life"

And

"There's no rules that says piano can be only played by hands"

They showed how strong you are ! Live a wonderful life, bro !

[11105160]

Right from 0:37, he made me move to tears ...

[aunehc]

This is the kind of people the world needs now...

[TorvCookie]

"die early or live brilliantly" he got me right there

[robertabitogerrick]

I am heartbroken that some of the comments on such and inspiration video have been posted. Shows that sadly there are still people in this world that don't see how beautiful this is and the message it sends

[robertabitogerrick]

I am heartbroken that some of the comments on such and inspiration video have been posted. Shows that sadly their are still people in this world that don't see how beautiful this is and the message it sends

[Giya96]

many people think their life is hard, that life is unfair, that life sucks. but after watching this video i think that if u think ur life is hard, unfair, and sucks, then liu wei's life must b 10 times that. his life must b extremely hard even if he's use to using his feet for most of the things he does. it's pretty unfair that he lost his arms at such a young age and it sucks that he will never get the feeling of what it's like to have arms. but he didnt sulk for his life...he did something

[krmusicbird3]

Absolutely wonderful... how does he pedal, out of curiosity?

[MartinTofu]

@krmusicbird3 hm, i think it's just permanently pressed down coz u can hear all the notes played b4 jumbling in with what he's playing

[krmusicbird3]

@MartinTofu It's possibly, but I don't think so... the pedaling is a bit murky, but it's still clear enough that the pedal has to be changing throughout the piece, or else the piece would literally just be one big blur.

[MartinTofu]

@MartinTofu guess ur right. im completely stumped then @_@

[kungfuasgaeilge]

when the judges say 'talented people' are they saying 'da ren' as in (lit. big person) adult?

[Fred77Chu]

@kungfuasgaeilge Judges said "da ren" means "Talent-達人". Another words 'adult-大人' have the same pronunciation 'da ren'

[kungfuasgaeilge]

@Fred77Chu Aah, that makes more sense. Thanks for the translation! Talent is certainly something this guy has :)

[LULU47093]

what has impressed me is tat he once said:

there are only two roads placed in front of me.

either die early or live a brilliant life.

what a soul!

[camvan260584]

My tears fall down every times I watch this vids

[Enzer0]

Wonder if he does boxing too? Hrm, Maybe Kick Boxing?

[DeSolei]

1) Excellent performance

2) Hide and seek*

3) How the hell does he jack off?

4) The judge is cute

5) The kid has more wisdom than most 90 year old folk...

Have a wonderful life!

[tommyb150]

This is so beautiful!

[lulu05star]

very humbling

[Vzer01]

Goes to show, you can do anything if you put your mind towards it. Thankyou Liu Wei, it brought tears to my eyes.

[babachan2]

心打たれる音色ですね！！！BUTこの番組ってパクリ？ｗ

[TabooCrewTV]

Wow.. Speechless!!

[dsghoul]

what. a. badass.

[sarahthetwilighter]

WOW.... i can play this song with my hands but i suck. its also so sad. well tell the little kid not to play with electrical outlets

[syncomposer]

I have to cry...listen and watching him...! INSPIRATIONAL! LIFE IS FRAGILE!

[makeminealarge1]

Poor kid dont know what its like to have a wank lol

[quysweat]

@makeminealarge1 you didn't know he can wank just as good as he plays piano?

[makeminealarge1]

@quysweat how do you know, are you his boyfriend?

lol joke

[jonsered]

Must suck hard to get on that stage after Liu Wie :P

[vashpriiatel]

I am admired! The guy, keep, please Good luck to you in all!

Я восхищён! Парень, держись, пожалуйста Удачи тебе во всём!

(Andy. Russia. Moscow.)

[EllieCastilloSiu123]

amazing

[jennaleeforu]

absolutely superb. he is so amazing. His mental power to teach himself to play the piano in such a way makes me feel ashamed of complaining about the simplest things of life. I should instead enjoy the fact that I can have that normal life, the life I take for granted.

[MiTroCity]

@jennaleeforu

Very well said my friend. I can't more agree with you. Maybe this is an wake up call for us, how selfish people can be...seriously....shame on us.

[zulianmusic]

敬佩这样精彩活着的人！

[thienductran]

i want to make love to his feet

[obamatran]

@thienductran I want to kick your ass. you disrespectable at all

[MrZunniez]

The way he put his shirt on and eating food is so tragic

[xFrancho]

victor espiritu

[Vysteria]

Is it bad that I think he's really hot?

[DarkDahlia1990]

@Vysteria hahaha why should it be bad? XD he´s cute~

[Netherfist]

There should be some custom made device that allows him to control the damper pedal with his head / mouth or something. But damn, this is some amazing stuff. My hats off to you sir, bravo.

[alangentrinapestegui]

beautiful, Liu Wei is my hero.

[fudgemanofdoom]

when i have kids, hide and seek is banned.

[italialana1]

Amazing the things some people can do in the face of hardship. I knew a guy once who had no arms & no legs due to a birth defect, and he loved to swim and coached boys' soccer. (Not to mention I witnessed him coaching a friend on how to roll a joint, which was absolutely ludicrous!) People like Liu Wei are really inspiring to us all.

[Powerofthunder]

the damn bastards who disliked this i hope you suffer in hell.

[nogodsnever]

thanks for posting, specially with the English annotations. I'm so happy he won!

[vandrey43]

y uno se qja... q buen ejemplo de muchacho

[ambroos21]

amazing!!

[bosold]

LiuWei. I must teach you to swim without arms, just fins. Very relaxing. Good for creativity. I lost arms at age 4. Regained one hand but no arms now. See my digital camera youtube site. I will help you with digital web. Michael

[ivansarke]

nice man....keep going with this...

[richardyasona]

you are so amazing liu wei

[Klemet1]

This video proves that there is no excuse that you can give your Chinese parents to avoid piano lessons.

[agentwaterfowl]

@Klemet1 LMAO especially not after this video.

[silentcypher]

@Klemet1 He took it up himself.

[jamieblond1]

The thrill of victory.....

the agony of defeet :o)

[Queenjs07]

do u kno the piano song he started off playiing?

[johnsoncuiChina]

@Queenjs07 it's called "Mariage D'amour" i think

[Queenjs07]

@johnsoncuiChina thanks it was I looked it up!

[Meow9x]

amazing :x :x :x

[gangwella21]

omg! this is incridible... i love this man...his so amazing..this is very inspiring to all of us we should learn how to be contented with life and be happy with whatever we have.

[RelentlessTroll87]

WTF this guy forgets every R in the song and he wins? cmon lets make sure we get all the letters in there next time, thanks.

[tyr123412]

@RelentlessTroll87 wtf is wrong with you? Can you even play this well with your foot?

[RelentlessTroll87]

@tyr123412 no, why would would i play with my feet thats not only stupid but its a waste of time. He should develop some robot ninja arms with his feet then id be impressed.

[FollowerOfAkatosh]

@RelentlessTroll87

Go fuck a deer.

[zoryel]

@RelentlessTroll87 cmon! this is China's got talent..not China's best English speakers..

[RelentlessTroll87]

@zoryel perhaps china should stop priating our songs and think up something orginial on their own then?

[ZomgItzEdwin]

@RelentlessTroll87 he cant pronounce the r's because over his last 22 years of life, he has been using a chinese dialect, which has no sounds similar to the R sound. also, last time i checked, singing a song from another singer/country is not pirating. if ur gunna troll or whatever ur doing, do better plz. thanks. =]

[zoryel]

@RelentlessTroll87 haha! then america should not remake any Asian movies if they also cant give justification to the original ones..tsk tsk..i hate hasty generalizations but couldnt help it coz of your comment.. ^_^

[eeemwong]

Wordless! I am so touched! I will show this video to all my loved ones!

[Dragoonn]

you are so great! this is a real talent ...

[ONLYusemaWEAPONS]

tsk tsk asian parents force their kids to play piano even after they lose their hands quite sad

[pace7759]

@ONLYusemaWEAPONS tsk tsk onlyusemeblade anti-fanboy, that's original. Also, this kid was not forced to play piano. Perhaps, as you may not be able to fathom, he learned because he WANTED to o.O

[asher4ever]

@ONLYusemaWEAPONS Ur such a FOOL. didnt u hear that he did it for himself and his parents did not force him. what do u care if were asians? ur just very jealous because he plays better than u even though you have arms looser.

[ONLYusemaWEAPONS]

@asher4ever he said that cos his parents threatened to beat him severely if he lied

[xintian77]

@ONLYusemaWEAPONS do u have any visual disabilities ?

[jaries12]

@ONLYusemaWEAPONS troll.

[larklxh]

@ONLYusemaWEAPONS

hey, man, don't be that quick.

His mother only expect that he can live happily and healthily.

Liu wei once said: three things are essential for his life: water, air and music.

That is his will to train himself so hard to persue his musical dream.

By the way, he was swimming champion in National Games for the Disabled. He quits swimming because of his severe allergy to the pool water.

[ONLYusemaWEAPONS]

@larklxh so his parents forced him to swim AND to play piano geez give the dude a break

[larklxh]

@ONLYusemaWEAPONS

I think either your brain for reading is disabled, or you intentiionaly want to irritate me.

[poshiposhable]

This guy is an inspiration to all. I think people without disabilities should learn how to be contented with life and be happy with whatever they have.

[lolimtoolazy]

i fail...

iv been doing piano for 2-3 yrs but im not even half as good as him.

but i can do penspinning which is rlly useless unless ur bored

[civilizationsss]

@lolimtoolazy i bet he can do that as well

[spinearts]

LOVE IT BRO. VERY VERY AMAZING !!!!!!!! WISH YOU MORE CONCERTS :)

[Scribblette1]

Just needs someone to lift off the pedal occasionally so the notes don't blur together, or a contraption so he can do that part with his mouth.

[GeneralPie29]

poor guy. i always get emotional wit these kinda things. but hes still an inspiration

[yuanshuai001]

@zealote R u really tht stupid? Its on a live TV show idiot.... and this is not dumb... if u think this is then ur just retarded....

[zealote]

@yuanshuai001 umm hi mr dumbshit fob, please learn to read english before you go trolling on youtube comments

go ask your eld teacher or someshit about whut my comment meant

but not gonna lie, this dude is fucking amazing

[mamabrown100]

waooah

subhanallah
