Liu Wei, an armless piano player, has a very special experience. He lost his arms in an accident when he was 10, but he didn’t give up his dream of being a pianist. He tried to practice playing the piano with his feet. Finally he realized his dream in China’s Got Talent.
As a student, I’ve learnt a lot from his story. We may meet a lot of difficulties in our future life, but we should believe that our dream will come true by working hard. No matter how hard life is, we won’t fail unless we give up our hope.
