In a video sent by Liu Zhengxing to a Red Star News reporter, a British girl who bought a picture album happily flipped through the book in front of the camera while introducing the album - "This is the Liu Zhengxing picture album I bought in the public bookstore in Cambridge... His use of color is simply incredible, and his attention to detail is breathtaking, and you can feel the power of life in it. ”
At the end of July 2017, Liu Zhengxing was invited to participate in the 3rd Cambridge Xu Zhimo Poetry Art Festival and held his personal oil painting exhibition "Tianlu". It was also the only solo exhibition of the four art exhibitions at the Cambridge Xu Zhimo Poetry Art Festival. The exhibition was unprecedented, and guests such as Alan McFarland, a tenured academician of King's College Cambridge, the director of the Middle East Pavilion of the British Museum and the mayor of Cambridge, attended the opening ceremony.

Through the pictures of works such as "Holy Lake Mapan Yongcuo", "Beautiful Shangri-La", "Under the Nanga Bawa Peak" and other works, the British audience enjoyed the magnificent scenery of China's snowy plateau, admired the Gesang flowers blooming by the plateau lake, and marveled at it. Originally intended to be an exhibition of contemporary Chinese oil paintings, all the paintings were bought by collectors who flocked to them. On the night of the opening of the exhibition, Liu Zhengxing was also awarded the "Cambridge Xu Zhimo Silver Willow Leaf Art Award" by the organizers for his achievements in the field of painting.

Looking back now, the exhibition held on that long trip 5 years ago is still a good memory in the artist's heart. "At that time, Cambridge University told me that I wanted to exhibit a picture book for this painting, and later they also sent me the design of the album to show me, but I didn't expect that it would be 5 years in a flash, and the time passed too quickly!" Liu Zhengxing sighed.
