A female impressionist is attacked by a tiger and died when she comes to the Orient for life drawing. This accident is a coincidence with Tora Tora Tora (Tiger Tiger Tiger) – the codename for the Pearl Harbor attack. Beneath the conspiracy and sneak attack, you will discover that it's merely a steak advertisement. 2. Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by hanging, his penis erected due to the suffocation. But then an inflatable doll fell down from the gallows. What is the difference between the so-called "radical" of the artist and the terrorism actions? As the dildo on the background, historical images are also being consummated again and again. 3. Pouring from the plastic bottle to the glass bottle added with lemon, water becomes a product with a capitalism aesthetic and served to the table.

Liu visited the border region of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia many times and filmed the life of his protagonist, Liu Huiqing. Despite his dire circumstances, the old man Liu Huiqing continued to practice traditional painting, calligraphy and writing about local vernacular culture. What his preservation of traditional Chinese society and culture represents is particularly contradictory to the current trend of seeking novelty with new benefits. In Liu Yefu’s video work, Fool’s Paradise, Liu Huiqing’s old-fashioned way and Elon Musk’s space exploration become two sides of the same coin that are the essentially the same: whether it is global, scientific, evolutionary and radical, or local, secular, ancient and conservative, how do we define ‘new’?

Liu envisions the notion of "global-local" in secular and matter-of-fact language that poignantly points out the existing conflicts between the conservatives and liberals, the elites and the grassroots, as well as the reflexivity of ideology and their unanimous idleness in reality. In video artwork Hehemeimei, Liu not only made up conflict between the Ja Lama (Danbiijantsan, 1862-1922), and Sven Hedin (1865-1952) in history, the boasting of old men playing chess but also penetrated the metaphorical and ambiguous relationship between the Chinese pond turtle and the national policy of "hide our capabilities and bide our time".

It depicts an actor rehearsing for a play. During the rehearsal, he transforms into John Lennon and, from a god's perspective, recites a list that includes dinosaurs, gods, leaders, politicians, scientists, writers, artists, cartoon characters, and more. Finally, he performs a modified version of "Imagine." Although this iconic humanitarian song portrays a vision of peace, the harsh reality of the world, 52 years later, still answers Lennon's hope with the cruelest of responses.
