Biography
Chen was born in Danfeng County, Shaanxi.[1] Following high school graduation in 1987,[3] Chen got married and worked as a farmer, and had a son in 1999.[2] Alongside publishing poetry in local publications,[4] he worked as a miner for approximately 15 years across China, particularly in the Qinling mountain range.[5]
In 2011, along with the growth of microblogging in China, he was able to reach a broader audience.[2] This eventually attracted the attention of Qin Xiaoyu, a film critic and producer, who profiled Chen in his 2015 documentary The Verse of Us.[2]
