His next goal is to get a flying license.
“I have finished a 17-hour course in US and can get the license after 60 hours’ study,” he said. “According to the rules, only people under 65 can get the license, so I have to hurry up.
“However, I am confident I’ll get it.”
In recent years, Liu also traveled to many countries, including Russia, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and the Philippines.
