Now, Mr. Chen Sun-Shen, a giant hand in the cultural world, has taken up this important task, and his series of historical stories have made the spots of history come alive!”
——Bo Yang, renowned historian and social critic

Chen Shunchen's existence is a miracle
--Ryotaro Sima, famous Japanese historical novelist and author of “Miyamoto Musashi”

“There is probably no writer as accomplished as Chen Sun-Shin now, and there will never be another one in the future. 'There has been no one before, and there will be no one after,' and this is the reason why Chen Sun-Shin is Chen Sun-Shin.”
——Koichiro Inabata, Professor Emeritus, Waseda University, Japan; Visiting Researcher, Center for the Study of Ancient Chinese Documents, Peking University
