Early life and career
She was born Chen Chong in Shanghai, China, into a family of pharmacologists (her grandparent Changshao Zhang was educated at UCl and later a visiting student at Harvard).12 She grew up during the Cultural Revolution. At age 14, Chen was discovered on the school rifle range by Mao Zedong's wife Jiang Qing, as she was excelling at marksmanship. This led her to be selected for the Actors' Training Program by the Shanghai Film Studio in 1975, where she was discovered by veteran director Xie Jin who chose her to star in his 1977 film Youth (Chinese: 青春; pinyin: Qīngchūn)3 as a deaf mute whose senses are restored by an Army medical team.

Chen portrayed a revolutionary's daughter in pre-Maoist China, who falls in love with the wounded soldier whom she and her mother care for.
