Armless pianist Liu Wei has established his Embrace Fund at Renmin University of China in Beijing. With the support of a Shanghai-based company, the fund has accumulated 1 million yuan ($160,000) so far.

Liu will tour more than 10 cities, giving speeches and calling for support of the fund, which helps people with disabilities and poor students. Liu has also visited children living in remote areas of Guizhou province, who are suffering from poverty.
