He now teaches comparative literature at Fuzhou Normal University, and has published seven major novels. After graduating from Fujian Normal University, Chen studied in Japan from 1989 to 1994. One recurring theme in Chen's fiction is sex, and perhaps his most famous work I Love My Mum (遮蔽), uses incest as a metaphor for a dysfunctional society. Despite his early difficulties being published in China, Chen's writing has now received widespread recognition there. One of his major novels, Exile, won the eighth HuangChangXian Literature Prize. Other books, including Irritation, which has also been translated into French, helped gain Chen the fourth Fujian Flowers award for outstanding literary works.
