Meanwhile, fans screamed as Chinese star Liu stepped on to the track for the men's 110m hurdles. Liu, who complained of pain in his Achilles tendon before the race, defied his own expectations with a third-place finish of 13.40 seconds.
American David Oliver won with the fastest time of the season at 12.99 and China's Shi Dongpeng was second at 13.39.
But all eyes seemed to be on hometown hero Liu who is seeking to regain world-class form after finishing seventh in his international return at the World Indoor Championships in March.
Liu, who became the first Chinese man to win an Olympic track and field gold at the 2004 Athens Games, is striving for his one-time record-breaking form after an Achilles heel injury force him out of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
