Chen graduated from Peking Union Medical College (北京协和医学院-中国医学科学院) in 1957. In the early 1980s, he was one of the founders of the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the first English-language periodical on TCM published in China. He was also a member of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (中国中医科学院).
He was co-editor (with Nissi Wang) of Acupuncture Case Histories from China (Eastland Press, 1988), a book which marked "the first original collection of acupuncture case histories in English. It includes over one hundred case histories, contributed by prominent acupuncture practitioners in China."[2]
In 1990, he emigrated to the United States, where he held several posts, again serving as an intermediary between Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture. He was also director of research at the East West Medical Research Institute in Los Angeles, co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture, a research scientist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, an instructor at SAMRA University and Emperor's College, and director of research at Tongyuan International.
