He went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to visit the Chan Clan Academy, participated in the 60th anniversary celebration of the Chan Clan Association in Thailand, and the Chen Clan Association in many provinces across the country. "Through the exchanges with clansmen from all over the world, I understand more clearly that our blood is closely linked, just like a family."

The leader of the Chen Clan, who was confirmed for re-election, also predicted that next year (2025) will mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Nan City Chen Clan Association, and will return to the founding place half a century ago, the "Chen De Jutang", a Tainan City-designated historic site, to hold an expanded ancestor worship ceremony.

Chen Shanrun emphasized that the 50th anniversary symbolizes the witness and refinement of history. It is not easy to go through 50 years of baptism. It is also the joint efforts of the leadership of the previous chairman and all the clan members that gave us the opportunity to gather at the 360-year-old Chen Ancestral Hall to witness half a century of glory and joy.

Every year, the Chen Clan Association holds a general membership meeting, and respectfully invites Kai Zhang Saint King, Chen Yonghua Patriarch, Zhong Shun Saint King and the Lord Zhong Shun Saint King and God of more than 1,300 years to come and watch the ceremony. Clan members and cadres also respectfully read the ancestral precepts, never forget their roots, and jointly witness the deep friendship passed down from generation to generation among the descendants of the Chen family.

Chen Shanrun continues to be the leader of the Tainan Clan Association and will return to Chen Deju Hall to worship his ancestors next year after half a century of the association - Life - 自由時報電子報 (ltn.com.tw)
