Life story
Initial dream On the bed in Liu Wei's room is a South African World Cup mascot, Zakumi. He showed good athletic talent from the time he started playing soccer in the first grade of elementary school. At that time, he played soccer almost all the time except for class time. "I was very naughty and didn't like to study." Even so, he always stayed in the top three of his class. Liu Wei was born in 1987, and when he was in elementary school, it was the beginning of the professionalization of soccer in China, and it was his ideal to become a professional player. The start of this ideal looks very beautiful. By the time he was in the third grade, at the age of 10, he was already the captain of the Green Club's second-string team, playing as a midfielder. The team he admired was Brazil, but his idol was Colombia's "Golden Lion", Valderrama, "because he was wild." The imagination came to an end one day when he was 10 years old. He can no longer recall in full what happened that day. "How did I get electrocuted? I can't remember it myself, I've lost that part of my memory." The specific situation, he is so hear others say: Liu Wei home near a simple power distribution room, the wall is built with soil, very short, a flip can go in, inside the wires exposed. 3 children playing hide-and-seek, Liu Wei to the wall when climbing, touched the high voltage line. When he woke up, he was already lying in a hospital bed. At first, he did not think it was a more serious matter, "is not amputation? Well and then connected not on the line." After getting out of the life-threatening situation, Liu Wei was told that he had lost his arms forever. "At that time my head was blank, stupid." During his time in the hospital doing rehabilitation, he met a patient who had also lost his hands. "He was able to eat, brush his teeth, write on his own and was very successful in his career, and he taught me a lot." The man's name was Liu Jingsheng, vice chairman of the Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation. Facing people with the same experience, Liu Wei's feeling is: "If you are born with two heads, others find it strange, how come you have two heads? There is nothing to do. But when you meet someone who also has two heads, and you realize that he is doing well, then you will definitely think, if he is doing well, so can I." Six months after losing his hands, he learned to brush his teeth, eat and write with his feet. The treatment and recovery time was long. For two years, he did not re-enter school. After spending a summer cramming, he returned to his old classes. By the final exam, he was still in the top three in his class. "From that point on, I started studying hard. Anything I want to learn, I can learn fast and do better than others." Without arms, Liu Wei began to face the comments of others. His classmates were so nice to him that when they saw anyone pointing fingers at him, "they would immediately go over and give someone a fat beating." Life was put on the breaking point of having no hands. At this point, he watched the World Cup live on TV for the first time, but his soccer dreams were already dashed. He started swimming lessons at the age of 12 and joined the Beijing Disabled Swimming Team. Just two years later, he won two golds and a silver in the National Disabled Swimming Championships. It was 2002 and Beijing had already qualified to host the Olympic Games. Liu Wei made a promise to his mother that he would come back with a gold medal at the 2008 Paralympics. Cruel Youth Fate was cruel to Liu Wei: it always gave him a wonderful start and then quickly blew the final whistle. While trying to prepare for the Olympics, the intense physical exertion led to a drop in immunity and an allergic purpura. Doctors have told his mother, high-voltage electricity for Liu Wei body cells have had serious damage, do not rule out the possibility of developing lupus erythematosus or leukemia in the future, he must give up the training, otherwise it will be life-threatening. "Can only give up, can not for the competition, life do not want it?" Already 19 years old, the college entrance exam is approaching, his grades are not bad, but he has doubts. "There was a fierce conflict inside, should I go to college or not?" After giving up soccer and swimming, he placed his hopes on his other passion, music. His family objected to him going down the music path, but it didn't work out. Liu Wei eventually gave up his chance to go to college and acquired a piano that his family borrowed money to buy. "The happiest thing a person can do is to be able to pursue a career that they love, so I ended up choosing music." The next question was - where to study music? After finding a private music academy and expressing their desire to enroll in the school, the principal responded to them by saying that Liu Wei's entry into our school to study music could only affect the appearance of the school. Liu Wei's response to the principal was: thank you for discriminating against me so much, I will show you how I do it. Playing the piano with your feet is tough, it takes courage and imagination. Many people take many years to get up to speed playing with their hands, let alone their feet. Liu Wei practices the piano for more than seven hours a day. "I live a three-point life: practicing, learning music, and going home. My home was in Wudaokou, the place where I practiced the piano was in Shahe, and the place where I learned music was in the Fourth Middle School; it was really a double test of mental and physical strength at that time." After his toes were worn out again and again, Liu Wei gradually figured out how to use his feet to get along with the keys. As in soccer and swimming, his perception of music was equally amazing. During the Olympics, Liu Wei, who had only studied piano for one year, appeared on Beijing TV's Singing the Olympics program and played the song "Dream Wedding" in front of Andy Lau. Then he played the piano and sang a chorus of "Heaven's Will" with Andy Lau. Last year, Andy Lau's new album contained a song called "Beautiful Memories", which contained the lyrics, "I stand here to give you / To give you my most beautiful memories / To give you my efforts / Your encouragement is always clear / I stand here to embrace you / To embrace you my truest body / To embrace you my promise / Your beauty is always clear "The song, with lyrics by Liu Wei, comes from a promise he made with Andy Lau in 2008. After hugging on that show, the two decided to collaborate on a song. The birth of a "man" "China's Got Talent" is not Liu Wei's first time to participate in the talent show. In May of this year, in the recommendation of a friend he participated in the "Happy Boys" Jinan regional qualifier, "my song has not sung a few lines on the interruption, when we carry the piano in the performance, less than half, the judges are very impatient to interrupt the performance, and then did not say a word. I think all of this is nothing, and five words will appear in the sky in front of me: what a big deal." In August, on the set of China's Got Talent, Liu Wei walked up with empty sleeves and sat down at the piano. The song "Dream Wedding" rang out. The song ended with a standing ovation. When judge Gao Xiaosong asked him how he did it all, Liu Wei said, "I think there are only two paths in my life, either to hurry up and die or to live wonderfully." Liu Wei returned to Beijing from Shanghai, woke up and realized that he had thousands of friend applications on QQ and RenRen, and his friends were quickly added to the limit. As long as the computer is on, all kinds of information are constantly flashing. He didn't dare to reply easily, just take a look. His life began to become crowded. In the face of reporters into the room, mother Wang Xiangying began to show sadness, she hoped that her son can do what he likes, while hoping that his life is easy and calm. "It's a time of conflicting emotions." Since she didn't install a set-top box, Wang Xiangying couldn't see Oriental TV at home, and she watched her son's performance on China's Got Talent on the Internet. "It wasn't very exciting to watch, there was so much to go through." Liu Wei's parents came to Beijing from Hunan province more than 20 years ago and gave birth to him in Beijing. "Our family is an ordinary family, my parents don't ask much of me, they just want me to be healthy and safe." Liu Wei gives people the impression that he is more mature than his peers, calm and steady in his speech, polite and with a proper sense of distance. "If you explore about life and other topics, I will only talk to people in their thirties and forties, people of my age is to play together." When Liu Wei is put on a dazzling stage once again by fate, he is somewhat like the lyrics he wrote: always clear. "I've been working hard for my dream, and now I'm kind of average in terms of playing, I'm learning in terms of songwriting, and I've learned a little bit in terms of production. You can't talk yourself up too much, the bigger the halo, the bigger the hollow inside. What I want is just to be good at myself, and that's OK." -- From Southern People Weekly, "Liu Wei: My Two Feet"
