He Yunlan, Liu's wife, said at the exhibition opening: "I feel he (Liu) is right here — his work, his spirit, dream and ideal are all well presented at this exhibition.

"He was lucky to be instructed by Xu Beihong, so that he was not burdened with the fame and pressure from being viewed a 'prodigy'. While teaching at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he found himself being in a big family, full of love and care, where he was able to continue his exploration with art. … This show gives a true profile of the life of an artist."
