He was 40 years old that year, and he patrolled the levee for more than two months fighting floods and violent waves, eliminating more than 100 spots of danger, and excavating more than 400 herringbone ditches. In that year, the Yigong Embankment withstood the once-in-a-century great flood.

Chen and his fellow villagers had been fighting the floods for more than three months. Due to his outstanding performance in fighting floods, Chen won many honors including "1998 National Models of Flood Fighting" and "Jiangxi Province Flood Fighting Heroes". That year, his son was only 14 years old.
