Liu also has many pieces that reflect contemporary life, such as "Document." The inspiration for this came from a comment by the historian Chen Yingque: "Our lives have no meaning, but we continue to live anyway." in this dance she recorded half a century of hardship for China, from the Rape of Nanjing in 1937 to the disorder in Taiwan's society today.
劉鳳學描述時代的作品也不少，如「檔案」的創作靈感來自史學家陳寅恪的一句話：「如今吾儕皆苟活」，她以這支舞記錄中國半世紀的苦難，從南京大屠殺一直到今日台灣社會的脫序現象。
