In 2013, Liu Yuening became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The first proposal was "Proposal to Set up a Special Art Fund for Overseas Communication".

In the autumn of 2020, he followed the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's "Promoting the Construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park" research team to Shanxi and Hebei to carry out research. Folk songs, Beijing songs and other tunes are used as elements to create the dulcimer ensemble work "The Great Wall Suite" with a total of two movements. "We went to inspect several key sites of the Great Wall, and the long history they embody gave me a great shock."

Liu Yuening admits that she is a sentimental person, and because she is engaged in art work, she is easily moved. "I was standing at the foot of the Great Wall at that time, and seeing the Great Wall of different ages, different types, and different construction styles made me respect the Great Wall and the Chinese nation, and felt that my spirit was sublimated."

At that time, when the investigation went to Hebei, Liu Yuening also visited the national ski jumping center "Xue Ruyi" in the Chongli competition area of the Winter Olympics, which was still under construction.

Liu Yuening was happiest when she saw that the Great Wall was not only moved, but also shared with more people and resonated with more people in the form of music and art.

The "Big Jasmine" Liu Yuening referred to is her "Jasmine Flower" Yangqin Ensemble and "Little Jasmine" Yangqin Art Troupe, which are especially worthwhile. It should be mentioned that the youngest child of "Little Jasmine" is only four and a half years old. Liu Yuening said that from the children, she saw an endless inheritance of traditional Chinese music. "As a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, I will have more demands on myself, more social responsibilities, and feelings of caring about the development of the country."
