It may not lead to an international career, but still... Wow?

China's got, like, a billion people - of course one of them can play the piano with his feet!

Seriously though this is absolutely amazing. I wish the video had more shot of his feet and less of his face - I'd love to see his technique.

And because we're talking about pianists with unorthodox technique (and possibly because I've just had my first drink in three days), here's Thelonious Monk playing a solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmhP1RgbrrY#t=3m08s

Paul, I'm disappointed that he did not play the piano using only the power of his mind. China has, like, 1.3 billion people - of course one of them should be a freakishly deformed, yet easy on the eyes, telekinetic pianist.

That is absolutely incredible. It must have required an absolutely ridiculous amount of training.

Yeah, and they're not locking it up and calling it an enemy of the people any more, either!

Well, I mean, not to quite the same extent.

Well I mean it's not being done by Mao any more, anyway.

I can barely play with my hands and this guy's miles ahead of me. What a dick.

The title of this continually makes me think it's one of the spambots running around.

I run a substantial mailserver at work, and can testify how hard it is to distinguish spam from real mail.  Not least because there is an awful lot of mail that it's really hard to classify even with a great deal of thought.

You're right. This casts you into suspicion Paul.
