His creative techniques are also eclectic on the basis of Lingnan School of Painting, combining the techniques of western painting sketch and perspective, absorbing the characteristics of Shanghai School and Beijing School, and creating a unique artistic style of "I am for myself, only me here".
Although there are infinite scenery abroad, Liu will not change his mind. How bright the moonlight is at home! Trees take off and fallen leaves return to their roots.
