		In this Aug. 26 file photo, pianist Liu Wei takes 
		off one of his socks to play a piano before his practice session in 
		Shanghai. The musician, who lost both arms in a childhood accident and 
		plays the piano with his toes, won "China's Got Talent," performing his 
		version of James Blunt's wistful love song "You're Beautiful" to a packed 
		audience at the Shanghai Stadium, on Sunday.
