In the years of youth, it should have been a carefree and happy time, but Wei Liu either soaked himself in water or sat in front of the piano to practice. "I don't have to accept everything that fate has given me."
An accident made him lose the freedom to fly to his dreams, but he still played the most touching music in the world with his feet and conquered all the listeners. In his words: "I have never regarded me as a special group, that is, you made it with your hands and I made it with my feet, but in different ways, nothing different."
On the evening of 20 1010 June10, the China's Got Talent Finals was held in Shanghai Gymnasium. Wei Liu, the winner, undoubtedly won the title of China's Got Talent with a song "You Are Beautiful-Ful-Ful" and became the first "China's Got Talent".
From 65438 to 0987, Wei Liu was born in an ordinary worker's family. He is naughty, playful and doesn't like learning. The characteristics of a little boy can be found in him. When he was a child, he dreamed of becoming a football player, but when he was 10, an accident happened. 1February, 998, Liu Wei accidentally touched high-voltage electricity and lost his arms. Xiao Liu Wei, who woke up after a coma, didn't know what it meant to lose his arm. "Just reconnect it." But when he learned that he couldn't lift it and no longer had arms, "his head was blank."
However, he was not knocked down by this disaster, and with the help and encouragement of his family, he walked out of the shadow of disability. After his recovery, he joined the Beijing swimming team for the disabled. In 2002, Wei Liu won two gold medals and a silver medal at the National Swimming Championships for the Disabled held in Wuhan. In 2005 and 2006, he won the 100-meter breaststroke champion in the National Disabled Swimming Championships for two consecutive years. 19 years old, gave up the college entrance examination and began to learn piano. Instead of being depressed, he insisted on practicing for 7 hours every day with extraordinary perseverance, and reached the level of piano level 7 in one year, but the process was very bumpy. Wei Liu once looked for a piano teacher. The teacher said, "I can only teach people to play the piano by hand, but I can't use my feet." He found another private conservatory of music, and the principal gave him the response: "You can only affect the school appearance by studying music in our school." Liu Wei said to the headmaster, "Thank you for discriminating against me. I'll tell you how I did it. "
Later, his mother helped him transform the piano he bought, made a wooden base next to the keys, so that Liu Wei could put his heel on it to play, and the height of the piano chair was adjusted, which solved the problem of body center of gravity. No one can tell Wei Liu how to play the piano with his feet, and it is not easy to control the flexibility of his toes. "In the beginning, you didn't have a good rhythm. You may play one note with this strength, and the next note will be silent, let alone coordinated. After practicing leg cramps, I didn't catch the key point. " After his toes were worn out many times, Liu Wei gradually found a way to touch the keys.
Liu Wei said: "At that time, many people laughed at my idea and thought it was impossible to kick with their feet. But I never think about difficult problems. Those problems are in the eyes of others, not in my heart. I won't say I quit because it's difficult. The word' difficult' means little to me. "
In 2006, he joined the Beijing Disabled Art Troupe and began to arrange and write his own lyrics. He said: "I can live like a normal person and support myself. Although I can't feel the joy of hugging others, I can feel more happiness in the sound of the piano. "
Then, on April 30, 2008, he participated in the program "Singing the Olympics" of Beijing TV Station, played the piano song "Wedding in My Dream" and accompanied Andy Lau "Everyone is 1"; On August 29th, 2008, CCTV- 10 "Telling" broadcast Wei Liu's story "Brokeback"; From June 5 to February 3, 2009, I participated in the national calligraphy and painting talent exhibition for upper limb disabled people held in Guangzhou. May 20 10 participated in Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Boys" Jinan singing area qualifier; On July 20 10, he participated in the China's Got Talent Show of Dragon TV.
On the evening of August 8th, 2065438+00, everyone knew what he was going to perform, but no one could imagine how he would play the piano with his feet. When he sat on a special piano stool, beautiful melody flowed from his feet, ten toes jumped flexibly on the keys, and the audience fell into silence. After Liu Wei's performance, all the audience and three judges stood up and applauded. Gao said: "It is incredible that we will practice playing the piano with our hands for many years, not to mention with our feet." Yi Nengjing was already in tears: "You let me see the talents among talents. The real talent is to show your talent with life! " Faced with such praise, Wei Liu simply said, "I have only two ways in my life, either to die quickly or to live wonderfully. No one stipulates that the piano must be played by hand. " When it was finally announced, the judges said that Wei Liu could no longer be evaluated with such words as "yes" and "congratulations". They can only say, "Bless you!"
Not long ago, Liu Wei was invited as a guest performer in the large-scale public welfare program "The First Lesson of School Opening" jointly organized by the Ministry of Education and CCTV. Wei Liu only said two words "Hello" on stage, and then sat down at the piano to express himself with music. The host Wang praised: "This is the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, and we can describe it in one word as shock." Many primary and middle school students left messages for Liu Wei in the forum, saying that they were inspired by his spirit. In that class, he told the children, "Dreams can be varied, they can be unrestrained, they can sound ridiculous, and it doesn't matter. It's good to have a dream. "
