In 1981, he was a visiting scholar at Yale University in the United States. He published 30 books and more than 100 papers. He advised 26 doctoral students, 50 master's students, and three postdoctoral researchers. He was conferred the special education prize by the Chinese Architectural Society and awarded a special pension by the National Government of China.
Liu was a strong advocate for the protection of the Republican era architecture of Nanjing. In 1988, he surveyed Nanjing's architecture and chose about 200 valuable buildings for conservation. However, more than 40 of the buildings were demolished during the urban renewal of the city by 2002. Liu lobbied the media and the government for protection of Nanjing's architectural heritage, and the municipal government eventually designated the remaining buildings as protected architecture.
Starting in 2000, Liu advised the government of Macau in its application for World Heritage status for the Historic Centre of Macau. After more than three years of research, he published The Architectural Heritage in Macau in January 2005. The book was submitted as academic evidence for the application, and the Historic Centre of Macau was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005.
Liu died in Nanjing on 16 May 2019, at the age of 87.
