This book is the first biography of Liu Wei, the champion of the inaugural "China's Got Talent." It is a soul-stirring story of personal growth. An unexpected accident once pushed him to the brink of death; how did he miraculously survive? The loss of both arms caused a massive shift in his life—where was his path forward, and how could he continue living? The mysterious appearance of a "friend across generations" ignited his dreams—who was this precious guest in his life? Facing the choice to give up at the last moment during the 2008 Paralympics, and encountering setbacks in talent shows, did he move forward or retreat? What kind of "tiger mom" was his hardworking mother? Is his sister, who faces motor coordination challenges, a special presence in his life? From his first attempts at playing the piano with his toes to performing at the Vienna Golden Hall, is this ten-year journey of pursuing dreams one of hardship or grace? Liu Wei, a 24-year-old boy from Beijing, expresses all his suffering with a touch of humor. Reading this book, you will discover that life is always full of hope and strength; simply being alive is the greatest happiness.
