In this context, it was natural for the family to think that Liu Ziyu should inherit his ancestral legacy and that sculpture should be his life's path. Therefore at the age of thirteen, Liu Ziyu's family sent him to Beijing to study sculpture. However, Liu Ziyu was not interested in sculpture but poured his full enthusiasm into the painting. He was interviewed: "Why did you choose to paint?" He said there was no reason because he was born to love it. This is a choice to follow his heart, which leads to the birth of an iconoclast painter.

He said one day that what the most he wants in his life is to get rid of all the distractions and concentrate into the painting. In his spare time, his greatest joy is to keep looking at his paintings. His artwork occupies every corner of his heart. From the very beginning and during nearly thirty years, Liu Ziyu's love for painting has grown stronger and stronger. He has contributed to several excellent artworks into the art world.
