A teacher to pass on knowledge and enlighten people

While studying at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Liu was deeply influenced by Professor Wang Wei, who not only imparted to him the performing techniques, but also taught him the way to conduct himself in society, and gave him guidance in the field of artistic aesthetics.

Now, Liu himself has become a teacher. He firmly acknowledges his tutor's ideas and tries to impart them to his own students. "As a teacher, in addition to imparting to the students performing experience and skills, it is more important for me to help them adopt an aesthetic view and find their inner world," he said.

He believes that, it is not important for students to play as many tunes as possible or pursue quick success, but it is important to improve their ability to appreciate works of art, to think, and to find problems and solve problems in the process of learning and playing.

Due to his hard work, Liu has recorded great achievements in teaching. More than 10 of his students have won prizes in national-level musical performing competitions, such as the Wen Hua Award and the Dunhuang Cup.
