Idol winner: “Toe Talent”

Written on October 13, 2010 by Francis in Inspiring

Feet are for running right?? Walking is optional but as runner I feel my feet serve one purpose: run! For Wei his feet “toes” actually, have taken him to win China’s version of America’s Got Talent!

Check him out:

Wei’s victory means he goes on tour with Taiwan singer Jolin Tsai, a three month gig in Vegas, and possibly record his own album!

Who is Wei? All I know is that he lost his arms at age 10 during a game of hide and seek. Wei is also responsible for making “China’s Got Talent” one of the most popular shows in the world.

China government is desperately trying to control the shows and information in it’s country but I am SO excited that “China’s Got Talent” made the cut! We now have Wei, an international superstar that came out of the show to live out his dream!

Idol shows, Got Talent shows, and You Tube are making it easier and easier for talent to be discovered! I don’t ever want a limitation on that! Who is your favorite “Talent Star” that was discovered during one of these shows?

My favorite so far, is definitely Wei! Share your thoughts!

    Thanks Fatin! The mind and determination! Just never taking “No” for an answer and making “it” happened regardless of the challenges! Certainly “Mind over Matter” ;)

    Inspiring. He has talent, and he has my vote, great man who refused to hide behind his challenges, and decided to rise to the top using his toes to play music that has the power to change the world. Thanks for sharing.

    Unfortunately I’ve heard of many children touching high-voltage wires and loosing both arms. So tragic. But this young man is inspirational to say the least. Very heartfelt music.
