Liu’s dream was to be a pianist. He had a wonderful performance（演奏）on China’s Got Talent. He played the beautiful Marriage D’amour（《梦中的婚礼》）with his two feet on the piano.
Liu Wei learned to play the piano with his feet. And teaching himself to play the piano with his feet was very hard. Many times he wanted to give it up, but his parents went on encouraging（鼓励） him and he kept playing the piano.
