Features: With the prosperity and development of the socialist market, the technical teams in the catering and service industries in urban and rural markets have been rapidly growing. In recent years, the Party and government have implemented systems to encourage professionals in the catering industry to study scientific knowledge and professional skills. This includes the evaluation of technicians, regular on-the-job training, and promotion assessments. This system has not only been implemented in state-owned catering and service industries but has also spread to reception systems, tourism, factories, schools, military logistics, as well as private and individual catering businesses.

He has received honors such as the National "May Day" Labor Medal. Since turning 16 and starting his career in the kitchen, he has spent 60 years in the culinary world. Over his 50 years in the industry, he has honed exceptional culinary skills. A gardener's hard work bears fruit, and the blooming of culinary skills lasts forever. Liu has taught nearly 150 apprentices, with about half of them becoming master chefs or hotel managers.
