A musician who lost both arms in a childhood accident and plays the piano with his toes has won "China's Got Talent".
Liu Wei, 23, performed his version of James Blunt's wistful love song "You're Beautiful" to a packed audience at the Shanghai Stadium.
All three judges on the show praised him for his determination, urging him to keep on pursuing his dreams.
For winning the Chinese version of the show that helped make Britain's Susan Boyle a singing star, Liu will be invited to play as a guest performer with Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai.
He also has the chance for a performing contract.
Liu's arms were amputated after he suffered an electrical shock while playing hide-and-seek when he was ten.
At age 18, he decided to pursue a career in music, using his feet to play the piano, much as he uses them to navigate on the computer, eat, dress and brush his teeth.
"China's Got Talent," featured scores of acts, including a seven-year-old stand-up comedian, Zhang Fengxi, who won second place.
The programme, which began in July, is part of British TV and recording executive Simon Cowell's "Got Talent" franchise, which now has versions broadcasting in more than 30 countries.
