Chinese Idol

Abstract

Broadcast Transcript: Back in the sixties, China's national idol was Lei Feng, the dedicated soldier whose accidental death by electrocution at the age of 24 secured his status as an icon. For more than 40 years now, Lei Feng propaganda has kept Chinese youth on their toes when it comes to doing what's right. Well, stand back, Lei Feng, Liu Wei, winner of the first series of the hit TV show, China's Got Talent is breathing down your iconic neck. Liu Wei is dedicated: he taught himself to play the piano when he was 18. Liu Wei is no stranger to electrocution: the 23-year-old lost both his arms at the age of 10 when he touched a live wire during a game of hide-and-seek. And this Chinese youth is kept on his toes because he uses them to play the piano. Liu Wei charmed the judges on the show by saying: At least I have a perfect pair of legs. So, he's not just armless, he's disarming, too. #ceas #china #hacker
