Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect,because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty (新奇的) value,like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine,but the time saved does not really amount to much：the machine has to be watched,the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first,stains removed by hand,buttons pushed and water changed,clothes taken out,aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive,since no capital in?vestment is required. Similarly,if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer,you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women's magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals,one realizes how useful a projected im?age can be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck; if you show a laboursaving de?vice,follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page;on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job,but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness,empha?sizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself,to produce "that lovely homebaked flavour the family love"，and knitting patterns that can be made by hand,or worse still,on knitting machines,which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park,not by professional women presetting (预先设置) the dinner before leaving home for work.

"Do you still remember your dreams from childhood? They're like flowers that never fade," 23-year-old Liu Wei told a rapt (全神贯注的，入迷的) audience during a broadcast of the nationwide talent competition China's Got Talent. Liu,an armless pianist from Beijing,was named one of the show's finalists.

Liu once had arms. At the age of 10 he accidentally grabbed a highvoltage wire and lost his arms. "My family and I were so desperate then," Liu recalled. He credits a disable boy he met at the hospital who gives him the strength to cheer him up.

He was forced to give up playing soccer        (his favorite sport) but bounced back and chal?lenged himself to learn swimming. After two years,Liu had won two gold medals and one sil?ver at the National Swimming Championship for the disabled in 2002.

By the age of 19,Liu had taught himself how to play the piano with his feet,fulfilling a childhood dream of composing and producing music,he said with a big smile. " Given enough time,I could be just as same as anyone."

"I can read music and have figured out the4 toeing' by myself," he told. According to Liu,the big toe is the most flexible digit when "toeing"，but that he can only reach five keys at the same time. "It means I have to train my toes to move more rapidly," he said.

"We've all fought for our dreams when we were young,but no one has fought as hard as you," commented Gao Xiaosong. Gao is one of the show's judges and one of most influential music producers inChina.

"You tell us that to realize our dream,we need to spare no pains," said Yi Nengjing,a show judge and Taiwanese pop star.

"I've received a lot of letters of support,all encouraging me to focus on my music," Liu said. When asked what he would do when the show was over,he revealed several music compa?nies had asked to sign him. But whatever happened,he added he is sure he would keep pursuing his dream.

"Music is like water and air to me," he said. "I can't live without it."
