Armless Pianist, Liu Wei Wins 'China's Got Talent'

A 23-year-old male who lost both of his arms when he was still 10 years old, Liu Wei has won China's Got Talent. He lost his important limbs in an electrocution accident but still pursued his dream of being a concert pianist.

Using only his toes in playing the piano, Liu Wei amazed the judges with his audition piece, Richard Clayderman’s "Marriage D’Amour." Over the weekend, Liu was crowned the China's Got Talent 2010 winner at Shanghai Stadium, where he performed James Blunt’s famous ballad "You’re Beautiful."

GMA 7's Theatrical Version of The Philippine National Anthem

I can't help but to blog about GMA's version of the Philippine National Anthem, "Lupang Hinirang." It is just well-made and very theatrical. It beautifully retells important historical events like Lapu-Lapu's victory over Magellan's troops in the Battle of Mactan and the peaceful revolt of Filipinos in pursuit of democracy in the 1986 People Power Revolution at EDSA.

Check out GMA 7's The Philippine National Anthem video below:
