Liu Wei živi i radi u Pekingu. Diplomirao je na Odsjeku likovnih umjetnosti na China Central
Academy of Drama, a završio studije na “Simpoziju za relaciju između religije i kulture”, na Univerzitetu
u Pekingu. Njegovi radovi bave se ličnim iskustvima i sjećanjem, kao i realnošću i ubrzanom
istorijom savremene Kine. “Sjećanje” je glavna tema njegovih radova, jer povezuje istoriju
