==Early life==
The son of former Vice President [[Chen Tsyr-shiou]], he earned his masters' and [[Doctor of Philosophy|Ph.D.]] in mathematics from [[New York University]].

[[Lin Yang-kang]] originally considered Chen as his vice-presidential running-mate in the [[ROC presidential election, 1996]]. However, Chen chose to run for president himself (with [[Wang Ching-feng]] as his vice-presidential candidate). As Chen is a devoted convert to [[Tibetan Buddhism]] (he is ethnically [[Han Chinese|Han]]), he his campaign tour of the island featured a strong spiritual theme, projecting an image that some commented to be like an "ascetic monk". After losing his bid in the presidential election with the lowest vote among the four candidates, Chen announced that he would retire from politics.
