It has won many awards at the 2024 Varsity Film Expo, Youth International Online Short Video Competition, FFF Film Festival, and etc.

A graduate of South Korea's Chung-Ang University in film directing, also a former student of No.1 Middle School of Zhongshan and Longshan High School, Chen remains driven by endless learning and passion. "My next work will delve into overlooked contemporary stories with nuanced storytelling," he says.
