He was put into prison for his writings. Released in 1979, he went to Beijing to seek an audience for his ideas. After being rebuffed by various officials, he turned to the people's publications. April Fifth Forum helped him publish his book, which was over 100,000 words long. Following this, people associated with Forum personnel found Chen a place to stay.
