Personal life

[edit]

After her retirement from volleyball, Chen worked for the Hong Kong Liaison Office.[1]

In 2018, the government of her hometown Tangxi Village in Hushan, Fujian built a "women's volleyball spirit" museum by remodeling her former residence, which collected many publications, art works, photos, and personal donations from Chen herself. It is the first women's volleyball museum in China.[2]

She is the Fujianese girl in the 2020 movie Leap.[citation needed]
