It’s an expression
of talent! It’s life
A Unique Pianist lived to its fullest!
It’s unique!
Who could possibly combine incredible talent and a
rare determination to produce something so uniquely
beautiful?
Lie Wei, a 23-year-old pianist from Beijing who moved
the hearts of the world when he played the piano on
‘China’s Got Talent’ with his feet. The audience and
judges listening to his performance of Richard
Clayderman’s Mariage D’amour were stunned by the
young man’s outstanding talent.
Lie lost both his arms while playing a game of “hide n
seek” in an accident with electrical wires when he was
ten. However, this did not prevent him from pursuing
his lifelong dream of becoming a musician. He began
to learn how to play the piano at 19, even though his
first teacher gave up on him saying that it was
impossible to play the piano using only one’s toes. He
suffered from cuts and cramps as he persisted in
learning to play with his feet, but in the end he proved
his teacher wrong.
28 Lie Wie’s accident made
A him think he was unable to play a musical
instrument.
B him try harder to fulfil his dream.
C him abandon his dream of becoming a
musician.
D his family and friends treat him differently.
29 Lie Wie’s parents
A were a source of inspiration for him.
B thought he would not succeed.
C discouraged him from learning how to play
the piano.
D have helped dress and feed him since the
accident.

Lie Wei’s determination and success lies in his parents’
insistence that he is no different from other young
people. Their constant encouragement, love and
devotion has enabled Lie to use his feet and mouth to
do things people normally do with their hands. He
skilfully dresses himself, feeds himself, brushes his
teeth and even uses the computer. Most amazingly
however, he masterfully presses the piano keys to
create beautiful melodies. Lie Wei entered the talent
show because he wanted his
parents to be proud of him but he achieved much more
than this. One of the judges realised that there was
more to Lie’s performance than the way he played the
piano. When he inquired how Lie managed to play so
well, Lie replied: “For people like me, there are only two
options. One was to abandon all dreams which would
lead to a quick, hopeless death. The other was to
struggle without arms to live an outstanding life.”
Lie’s willpower points to what really matters in life. His
life serves as an example to people who are
challenged by disabilities but also to people who are
simply dissatisfied with life. His desire to “live a
wonderful life” is one we should all live by!
30 Which of the following is NOT true?
A The judges were impressed by Lie Wie’s
skilful performance.
B Lie Wie has lost all hope for the future.
C Lie Wie’s life is an example for all people
to follow.
D The judges were surprised by how well he
played with his feet.
31 What is the writer’s purpose?
A to announce the winner of the talent show.
B to inform people about the art of playing
the piano.
C to talk about the extraordinary life of a
young person.
D to encourage young people to take part in
talent shows.
