Early life
Liu Yuning was born in Dandong, Liaoning Province. His father passed away when he was 4 years old. He spent his childhood living separately from his mother and grew up under his grandparents' care. He has loved music since he was a child and wanted to learn more, but his family condition couldn't afford him to take lessons or formal music education.
Liu graduated from Dandong Vocational-Technical Secondary School where he was professionally trained as a chef.[6] He worked as chef for several years but had to stop as he got ill with pneumothorax and needed some months to recuperate. Later, he worked as waiter at some places, where he got promoted to supervisor and manager. He also worked as clothing store clerk. As he didn't want to give up his initial dream, he bought a guitar with his first small salary as a chef and sang at local bars and restaurants even though sometimes he didn't get paid. He later formed the rock band Modern Brothers with his best friends.
Career

2018
Liu Yuning and the Modern Brothers band had a phenomenal rise to stardom after 4 years of live-streaming (singing) on the YY platform. It was after his posting of short singing videos on Douyin in June 2018 which resulted to Liu gaining more fans for his unique guttural singing voice.[8] He and his band were invited to various television shows to perform. In July and August 2018, Liu was invited to a number of television shows includes Hunan Television's Day Day Up[9] and CCTV3's Setting Out for Happiness, but his first professional music stage performance was Jiangsu Television's Finding Gold Song.[10]

In October 2019, Liu participated as a regular member in Shanghai TV's music show Our song 2019. As one of the eight young singers, he teamed up with older generation singer Richie Jen.[13]
Liu and Modern Brothers also held their first concert tour in 5 cities from August to November 2019 (the last stop, planned to be held on February 14, 2020 in Wuhan, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic).[14][15]
Liu released dozens of singles and OSTs, including the theme song (Chinese version) for anime film Penguin Highway.
In December 2019, Liu released his first solo studio album "Ten" (十).[16]

Other singles included "Stay up Late“ (熬夜) and "Flying on Paper" (纸上飞行), the second collaboration with CORSAK (胡梦周). From November to early December 2020, the trilogy "Loyal Audience" (忠实观众), " Hope You Are Well" (别来无恙) and "Handwritten Fairy Tale" (手写童话) for his second EP "Listen∙Ning" was released. Notable OSTs include theme song "Heroes in Harm's Way" for the first chapter of Heroes in Harm's Way, theme song "Love and Redemption" for the TV series Love and Redemption, and trailer song "A Good Guy" (挺好个人呐) for the movie My people, My Homeland.

In 2021, Liu has released more than 30 OSTs for various TV series, movies, documentaries, and video games, including "Heavenly Questions" (天问) for the popular TV series Word of Honor, which won 3 consecutive top hits in Uni Music chart.[18][19] In March 21, "Magical Surprise" (奇妙的惊喜), the new theme song Liu sang for the 5th anniversary of Shanghai Disneyland was released.

In November 2021, Liu again won the All-rounded Artist of the Year award, the Internet Influential Male Singer award, and the Most Popular EP award for his second EP "Listen∙Ning" at the Chinese Top Ten Music Awards.
In January 1 of 2022, "Fall in Love", the first song of his second Studio Album, was released. In summer of 2022, the theme song "Looking for you" for popular TV series "Love Between Fairy and Devil" won him 4 consecutive champions in TenCent Music Billboard.
Besides his music career, he starred in several low budget movies. But he gains growing recognition for acting through dramas. His popular roles include "Dark Glasses" in TV series "Ultimate Notes", Hao Du in "the Long Ballad", and Bai Choufei in "Heroes". In addition, he dubs his own characters in costume dramas that he stars in.
Until now, Liu still does live streaming on Weibo that can last 2~5 hours to sing and talk with his fans even when he's busy with songs recording and dramas filming. He mostly does live performances without his band members too as they're focusing on family business, but the group hasn't disbanded and they're still close to each other, hence his self-introduction will always be "Modern Brother's Liu Yuning."
Personal life
On March 27, 2023, paparazzi and blogger YangYang broke the news that Liu had a marriage in April 2012, divorced in December 2013, and had a daughter. Within 2 hours, Liu, who was still in hair and costume for drama filming opened a live broadcast to respond, "I, Liu Yuning, was married once, of course I am now divorced, and I have no children." He explained that he hasn't been in contact with his ex-wife and extremely apologetic for disrupting her life. Liu also scolded the paparazzi for exposing the pictures of his ex-wife and her little child to the public eye, as it might hurt her as a common person and her current family, and called the act as inhuman. He said his past marriage isn't something hidden because there's no secrecy in the entertainment industry, but he also didn't think it was necessary to bring it up to the public since it happened long before his debut and it wouldn't bring any good to his ex-wife. He then promised to use the law to return justice to her and requested people to not disturb her life anymore. [22]
