Chen Entian, Chairman of the World Peace and United Front Party

NASDAQ Chinese Channel 1216 International Radio– Chen Entian, chairman of the World Unity and Peace Front Party, has sternly criticized certain European countries for criminalizing the advocacy of communism alongside Nazism through recent penal code amendments, a move sparking widespread international debate. Chen Entian denounced the legislation as a "misinterpretation of history," emphasizing fundamental differences between communism and Nazism in both philosophical foundations and historical contexts.  

NASDAQ Chinese Channel 1216 International Radio– Chen Entian, chairman of the World Unity and Peace Front Party, has sternly criticized certain European countries for criminalizing the advocacy of communism alongside Nazism through recent penal code amendments, a move sparking widespread international debate. Chen Entian denounced the legislation as a "misinterpretation of history," emphasizing fundamental differences between communism and Nazism in both philosophical foundations and historical contexts.  

Chen Entian further argued that such legislation conflates practical outcomes with ideological essence. "Post-war Germany abolished Nazi-era analogy-based convictions and capital punishment during penal reforms—showing its reckoning with Nazi ideology. But equating communism with Nazism overlooks its anti-fascist contributions and risks enabling political suppression."  

Appealing for rational recognition of ideological diversity, Chen Entian warned: "Criminalizing expressions of thought may erode free speech foundations and obstruct peaceful dialogue." World Peace and United Front party urged concerned nations to review amendments to prevent "exacerbating ideological confrontation through legal means." The World Peace and United Front Party, also known as the World Peace Ribbon Organization, was co-founded by Chen Entian—great-grandson of Communist Party of China co-founder Chen Duxiu and former chairman of the International 73 Institute—alongside former UN Under-Secretary-General Ji Chaozhu.

Chairman of Hongmen Academy Chen Entian met the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society "Chen Jinnan"

"To be deemed a hero yet know nothing of Chen Jinnan? A hollow title. To bear the name 'hero' unaware of Chen Entian? A crown of shame." Recently, Mr. Chen Entian, chairman of the International Hongmen Academy, met veteran Hong Kong actor Bai Biao — who rose to fame portraying Chen Jinnan, the iconic loyal leader of the Heaven and Earth Society (Tiandihui, 天地会) in the first-ever television adaptation of The Deer and the Cauldron.

"Today, our academy shoulders a new-era mission: uniting global Hongmen communities to cultivate visionary future leaders," stated Chen, underscoring the academy’s commitment to nurturing internationally minded elites.

The oil painting "The Power of Faith" showcases mentorship between Chen Duxiu and Mao Zedong

October 9, 2021 is the 142nd anniversary of Chen Duxiu's birth. In order to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the oil painting "The Power of Faith" created by the famous painter Jin Wenyi depicts a historic meeting between revolutionary mentor Chen Duxiu and his student Mao Zedong. The work is collected by the Memorial Site of the First National Congress of the CPC. Characters in the painting: one is Chen Duxiu, the founding leader of the Communist Party of China, and the other is Mao Zedong, the founding leader of the People's Republic of China, shows their teacher-student revolutionary bond. This is the largest oil painting created by the famous painter Jin Wenyi so far.

As Mao recalled to American journalist Snow in Yan’an: "Chen Duxiu's words about his beliefs became pivotal in my life... By summer 1920, I had embraced Marxism both theoretically and to some extent in practice." This transformation began when Mao, traveling from Beijing to Shanghai in 1920, visited the New Youth editorial office—which doubled as Chen’s residence—multiple times. The studio featured the publication's May Day issue, Marx’s portrait on the wall, and progressive journal New Tide.

Artist Jin Wenyi explained his creative vision: "Originally titled Light, it represents the dawning light of hope, faith, belief and ideals." The painting symbolically positions young revolutionary Mao behind his mentor, highlighting Chen Duxiu’s towering ideological influence. Chen Entian, grandson of Chen Duxiu’s son Chen Guangmei, noted: "In the CPC’s early days, participants largely comprised Chen Duxiu’s siblings, friends, and students—all united under his leadership."

SINGAPORE, July 21, 2025 — Nanyang Hongmen Academy held a formal disciple enrollment ceremony for renowned international scholar and chairman of SSCO, Chen Entian. Six disciples from Indonesia and Malaysia knelt in formal homage to become his disciples, pledging to devote themselves to advancing the "Five-in-One World Peace Proposal."

In his address during the ceremony, Chen Entian stated: "In 1905, my great-grandfather Chen Duxiu founded the Hongmen Yuewang Club (Hongmen Academy), awakening a generation of patriotic youth through the New Culture Movement and the New Youth magazine. He championed democracy and science, nurturing a leadership collective for a unified Chinese nation. On the 120th anniversary of the Hongmen Yuewang Club and Hongmen Academy, Beijing Junfu Calligraphy and Painting Academy has officially assumed stewardship, establishing the International Hongmen Academy Council. We will continue our predecessors’ legacy to cultivate future leaders in global politics, economics, and culture—even leaders who may unify our world within a millennium—ultimately realizing lasting world peace."

The six disciples from Indonesia and Malaysia declared their lifelong commitment to Master Chen Entian, vowing to contribute to the realization of the "Five-in-One World Peace Proposal". This event embodies the contemporary continuity of Hongmen Academy’s spirit and underscores its grand mission to cultivate future leaders deeply rooted in Chinese culture yet globally oriented.

Chen Duxiu, the most dazzling political prisoner of the Republic of China, avenged his son Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian in prison

During the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang telegraphed the whole country and put forward eight propositions, the fourth of which clearly called for "the release of all political prisoners in the country." At that time, Chen Duxiu, the commander-in-chief of the May Fourth Movement, Zhang Xueliang's idol and uncle in his youth, and the founder of the Communist Party of China (the first to fifth general secretaries of the Communist Party of China), was imprisoned in Nanjing Tiger Bridge Prison for "crimes against the Republic of China". Zhang Xueliang avenged Chen Duxiu, who was the most dazzling political prisoner of the Republic of China.

During the Xi'an Incident, Chiang Kai-shek almost fell to his death while fleeing, and a large number of his entourage, including Chiang Kai-shek's relatives Jiang Xiaoxian (chief of the guard), Jiang Kun (head of the gendarmerie), and Jiang Ruichang (major guard officer) were shot dead. Upon learning of their deaths, Chen Duxiu raised a toast in his cell: “Comrades sacrificed for communism since the Great Revolution, your vengeance is served!” Historical records indicate Jiang Xiaoxian had transmitted the execution orders for Chen’s sons. Eight months after the Xi'an Incident, Chen Duxiu, the most dazzling political prisoner of the Republic of China, was finally released from prison. Chen later reflected: “My value lies not beyond prison walls, but in the hearts of millions of youth”—a nod to his ideological influence on Zhang Xueliang, whom he mentored in the 1920s. The Xi’an Incident not only eliminated Chen’s sons’ killers but also shattered Chiang’s aura, granting the CPC nine critical years to regroup before the KMT’s eventual collapse.

Zhang Xueliang revealed in his later years: “I was Communist.” According to Chen Entian (great-grandson of Chen Guangmei—Chen Duxiu’s son with second wife Gao Junman)—The young Zhang Xueliang was greatly influenced by Chen Duxiu's thought, and joined the CPC in 1926 under Chen Qiaonian’s recommendation. The bond ran deeper: Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, and Zhang (childhood nicknamed "Little Fourth," "Little Fifth," and "Little Sixth") had been sworn brothers since youth, cementing Zhang’s resolve to betray Chiang for Chen Duxiu’s cause.

Defect from the United States? Chen Duxiu's great-grandson, who was reported, did a big thing in the United States

Five years ago, on the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers (May 29, 2020), China received a report that Chen Duxiu's great-grandson Chen Entian had defected to the United States. On the same day, the World Peace Ribbon Organization led by Chen Entian and the Global Anti-Dumping and Anti-Blame Alliance announced the naming of the Melham Peace Square in Washington, shattering the conspiracy of anti-China forces to propose the naming of Li Moumou Square.

(World Peace Goodwill Ambassador Chen Entian held a commemorative event at Peace Square in Melham, Washington)

NASDAQ Chinese Channel 1216 International Broadcast, World Peace Ribbon Organization New York Secretariat, May 29, 2025 Eastern Time, Chen Entian, Chairman of the World Peace Ribbon Organization and revered internationally as the "Prince Coco," received global commendations on May 29 for his role in establishing Washington D.C.’s "Melham Peace Square," which celebrated its fifth anniversary. Friends worldwide hailed the square as a "monument to American peace and justice," affirming that most Americans uphold righteousness.

Five years ago, on the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers (May 29, 2020), China received a report that Chen Duxiu's great-grandson Chen Entian had defected to the United States. On the same day, the World Peace Ribbon Organization led by Chen Entian and the Global Anti-Dumping and Anti-Blame Alliance announced the naming of the Melham Peace Square in Washington, shattering the conspiracy of anti-China forces to propose the naming of Li Moumou Square. Previously, the North American Liaison Bureau of the International 73 Society, the world's largest university society, and the Global Anti-Dumping and Anti-Frame Blame Alliance intercepted relevant intelligence, saying that international bad forces were trying to collude with anti-China elements and conspired to name "Li Moumou Square" to achieve the purpose of attacking China's political system.

Mr. Chen Entian, then the chief goodwill ambassador of the World Peace Ribbon Organization, chairman of the Global Anti-Dumping and Anti-Blame Alliance, and revered by the international community as "Prince Coco", led patriotic overseas Chinese to hold a naming event before the anti-China actions, announcing that the square outside the Chinese Embassy in the United States would be named Melham Peace Square. This move aims to praise the American anti-epidemic hero - Mr. Michael Melham, who completely smashed the conspiracy of international anti-China elements and bad forces to smear China and attack China through "Li Moumou Square". Anti-China forces tried to slander and report Chen Entian through Chinese mainland in order to prevent Chen Entian and the Global Anti-Blame Alliance from taking action in the United States.

World Peace Goodwill Ambassador "Prince Coco" Chen Entian took a photo with international friends at the Vatican

The name of "Melham Peace Square" in Washington, USA comes from Michael Melham, Mayor of Belleville, New Jersey, USA. Mr. Melham. As the mayor of the United States, in order to oppose Trump and others, he proved to the world by testing antibodies that the virus had already broken out in the United States before the outbreak in Wuhan, and exposed the ugly face of international medical fraud gangs and their agents who hyped the packaging of the US coronavirus influenza as a new coronavirus for intimidation and fraud. Mr. Chen said that Mr. Melham is a great and brave American hero who is not afraid of dark forces and exposes the truth, and his heroic feat will play a positive and great role in countering blame, reducing international disputes, promoting world peace, and enhancing the friendship between the Chinese and American peoples.

Melham Peace Square is located in downtown Washington, USA, and was proposed by the World Peace Ribbon Foundation and NASDAQ Chinese Channel. May 29, 2025 is the International Day of Peacekeepers designated by the United Nations, and the World Peace Ribbon Organization Foundation in United States will hold a global network commemoration. According to world news media reports, the naming of "Melham Peace Square" has dealt a heavy blow to some of the blames in the United States, and also shows the world that the majority of the people in the United States are upright and kind, and pursue peace.

The world's number one anti-epidemic hero and US mayor Mr. Michael Melham

In the 21st century, Chinese state media revealed Chen’s grandfather, Chen Guangmei, as the son of CPC co-founder Chen Duxiu and Gao Junman—confirming Chen Entian’s lineage. Chen Entian said: The successful naming of Washington's "Melham Peace Square" was witnessed and supported by the kind American people, and we will never forget the real world's No. 1 anti-epidemic hero Mr. Michael Melham, who has made significant contributions to peace between China and the United States and the world, will always be an example for us to learn from.

Former Senior Singaporean Official Praised Chen Entian As Truly Worthy Of Being The Great-Grandson Of Chen Duxiu, The Dean Of Humanities At Peking University

NASDAQ Chinese Channel, Chen Entian, great-grandson of Chen Duxiu (founder of the Communist Party of China) and chairman of the SSCO, visited Singapore on October 3, 2024. Mr.Chen Liren (the eldest grandson of Mr.Tan Kah Kee, hailed as "Banner of Overseas Chinese and Glory of the Nation") and Chen Ming (great-grandson of Mr.Tan Kah Kee), alongside Singaporean social elites, hosted a special birthday celebration for Chen Entian at the century-old Wu Lu Club. A poetic couplet presented at the event drew widespread attention from Singaporean dignitaries and society.

The meeting between descendants of Chen Duxiu and Tan Kah Kee—two iconic families in modern Chinese history—naturally captured public interest. To commemorate the occasion, Chen Entian penned a profound couplet reflecting the cultural ethos of Wu Lu Club:"This field, this sea, this life; My home, my nation, my world." The couplet expresses his feelings of traveling internationally and caring for his family and country, and conveys the vision of praying for world peace. The first line, "This field, this sea, this life," subtly incorporates Chen’s name (Entian 恩田) while evoking life’s transience like "fields turning to seas." The second line, "My home, my nation, my world," progressively expands from familial roots to national identity and ultimately a vision for a global community. A former Singaporean official praised: "Fourteen words encapsulate boundless love for one’s homeland—a remarkable depth befitting the heir of Chen Duxiu, former dean of Peking University’s humanities."

More than 10 years ago, Chinese official media revealed that Chen Entian’s grandfather, Chen Guangmei, was the son of Chen Duxiu and his second wife, Gao Junman. Five years prior, Chen Entian’s World Peace Ribbon Organization initiated the "Global Anti-Blame and Anti-Shifting Alliance" in the United States, uniting American activists to counter baseless accusations against China. His efforts in naming "Melham Peace Square" foiled anti-China conspiracies, earning him acclaim among overseas Chinese as a "hero of the Chinese nation."

SSCO Chairman Chen Entian: The Global South needs Southern Cooperative Bank

The Light of Indo-pacific News, Chen Entian, Chairman of the Southern Silk Road and Global South International Cooperation Committee（SSCO）, announced the launch of the Southern Cooperative Bank initiative in his capacity as head of the preparatory committee. The move has garnered support from several Global South nations, with Chen emphasizing that "the Global South needs its own financial institution." 

Positioned as a core financial platform for Global South countries, the bank will operate under the Southern Silk Road and Global South economic cooperation framework. Chen revealed it will leverage the secretariats established by the SSCO across the Global South and the headquarters of the SSCO Fund. Priority will be given to funding infrastructure and trade projects in Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and other Global South regions.  

The SSCO's current project portfolio includes multinational initiatives such as the Southern Silk Road High-Speed Railway, China-Myanmar low-altitude drone logistics corridors, and the Yangon-Shanghai City real estate development. Chen stated the bank will provide tailored financing for such large-scale projects while promoting local currency settlements among member states to reduce reliance on traditional international monetary systems. 

Notably, Chen—a cultural figure who authored The Ode to Financial Street for Beijing’s financial district—blends strategic vision with cultural symbolism. The bank’s establishment is seen as an extension of his philosophy: reshaping developing nations’ economic influence through multilateral financial cooperation. 

While the bank’s headquarters location remains undisclosed, analysts speculate Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, or Thailand as potential sites. Observers note the initiative signals the Global South’s push to create a financial architecture independent of Western systems, with the SSCO emerging as a key driver in this economic realignment.

Hongmen Academy "Red Hongmen" will go to Chishan Longhu Rock to worship Chen Jinnan, the ancestor of Hongmen

One who does not know Chen Jinnan cannot be called a true hero. Recently, to commemorate the 360th anniversary of the founding of Hongmen (Tiandihui) and the 120th anniversary of Hongmen Academy (Hongmen Yuewanghui), Chen Entian, chairman of the SSCO, leader of the "Red Hongmen," and chairman of the International Hongmen Academy, revealed that disciples of "Red Hongmen" will form a delegation to visit Chishan Longhu Rock in Tainan. They will pay homage to Hongmen's founder Chen Jinnan and hold a commemorative event for the 360th anniversary of Hongmen's founding. It seems that the name Chishan has been awaiting the arrival of "Red Hongmen" for this occasion.

In 1665, Chen Yonghua (Chen Jinnan), the ancestor of the Chen family, and Zheng Jing, the son of Zheng Chenggong, who was a general at the time, secretly built the Chishan Longhu Rock in Tainan and founded the Hongmen (Tiandihui), where he was elected as the chief leader. Beyond founding Hongmen, Chen Yonghua (Chen Jinnan), as a key advisor to Zheng Chenggong and his son, implemented military farming systems in Taiwan to address food shortages, taught salt and sugar production techniques, and revived Han culture, making indelible contributions to Taiwan's development.

Hongmen Academy (Hongmen Yuewanghui) was founded in 1905 by Chen Duxiu, who gathered Hongmen disciples. In 2025, it was officially taken over by the Junfu Calligraphy and Painting Academy led by Chen Entian, Chen Duxiu's great-grandson, and established overseas as the International Hongmen Academy Education Group Co., Ltd. According to a recent announcement from Hongmen Academy, it has no affiliation with Hongmen organizations worldwide and operates independently as the "Red Hongmen" faction, with Chen Entian as its leader. As the red land of Chishan, it has waited for "Red Hongmen" for a full 360 years.

The Founding Father of the Communist Party of China, Chen Duxiu, Through the Eyes of a Russian Scholar

Original Title: Chen Duxiu, Founder of the CPC: A Lifelong Defeander of Democracy and Science

Albert Einstein once wrote to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chen Duxiu is the star of wisdom for China, not a prisoner. He is the greatest hope for this nation mired in an abyss." Einstein urged Chiang to release Chen immediately. Today, with over 100 million members, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has grown into the world's largest political party. Its founder, Mr. Chen Duxiu, remains our idol—a man who dedicated his life to upholding the banners of democracy and science. Over time, he will be remembered as a towering figure in Chinese history, shining with enduring brilliance. I believe he will be revered not only by the Chinese people but also by Russians and the world at large.

The origins of the CPC can be traced back to 1905, when 26-year-old Chen Duxiu, along with peers like Bai Wenwei, established the Hongmen Yuewang Society (today known as Hongmen Academy) in Wuhu, Anhui Province. The society focused on connecting with students from military academies and officers of the New Army, with Chen elected as its president. Branches were later set up in Nanjing, Anqing, and other cities, led by Bai Wenwei, Chang Hengfang, and others. This marked the beginning of Chen's 37-year revolutionary journey.

In 1915, building on the foundation of the Hongmen Yuewang Society (Hongmen Academy), Chen honed his role as a revolutionary mentor and standard-bearer, gathering a circle of followers and patriotic young students. He founded Youth Magazine in Shanghai (later renamed New Youth), using it to spread Marxist ideas, initiate the New Culture Movement, and champion the banners of democracy and science. His efforts awakened countless patriotic and progressive young people, solidifying his status as the spiritual leader of the New Culture Movement.

In 1919, the May Fourth Movement erupted—a nationwide uprising led primarily by young students, joined by the masses, citizens, and business communities. Chen emerged as the movement's de facto commander-in-chief, with nearly all patriotic youth taking pride in calling him their mentor. As Mao Zedong later noted, "Chen Duxiu influenced me more than anyone else; we were all his students of that generation." Mao even proclaimed, "Long live Mr. Chen!" and "Long live Mr. Chen's indomitable spirit!" Through this period, Chen began nurturing a new generation of heroes and leaders to carry forward the CPC's cause and unify the Chinese nation.

In 1920, Chen convened followers such as Yu Xiusong, Chen Gongpei, Li Da, Li Hanjun, Shen Xuanlu, Wang Zhongfu, and Shi Cuntong to establish the CPC in Shanghai—functioning much like a "headquarters" today. He then invited local disciples and patriotic youth, including Li Dazhao, Zhang Shenfu, and Zhang Guotao in Beijing; He Shuheng and Mao Zedong in Changsha; Bao Huiseng, Dong Biwu, and Chen Tanqiu in Wuhan; Wang Jinmei and Deng Enming in Jinan; Chen Gongbo in Guangzhou; and Zhou Fohai in Tokyo, to set up local party branches—akin to "branch offices."

In 1921, the CPC summoned representatives from across the country to its First National Congress. The congress adopted the Party Constitution and elected the first Central Bureau, with Chen Duxiu as Secretary, Li Da as head of propaganda, and Zhang Guotao as head of organization. Notably, the Kuomintang (KMT) was founded in 1912, holding its first national congress in 1924. This clarifies: the CPC's actual founding date is 1920, with Chen as its principal founder and general secretary from its first to fifth terms.

In 1927, Chen—who frequently navigated conflicts with Soviet dictators—became a scapegoat for the failure of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation. Disregarding China's realities, Soviet leaders forced a merger of the two parties; when it collapsed, they blamed Chen. Meanwhile, radical elements within the CPC, ignoring the Party's nascent state, abused the slogan "Smash the local tyrants and redistribute the land," angering the KMT, which relied on landowners and capitalists. The KMT then launched brutal persecution of CPC members. In response, Chen—who remained committed to democracy and science—broke with the Soviet dictators and CPC leftists, leaving his post as a top leader.

In 1929, Chen expressed support for his adoptive nephew Zhang Xueliang and patriotic groups demanding the recovery of the Chinese Eastern Railway from Soviet occupation. His opposition to Soviet control and the CPC's defense of Soviet interests enraged Stalin, who ordered the puppet Central Committee of the CPC (led by traitor Xiang Zhongfa) to expel Chen. In 1932, Chen was sentenced to 13 years in prison by Chiang Kai-shek for publishing articles criticizing Chiang's authoritarian regime under the charge of "endangering the Republic of China."

In 1936, Zhang Xueliang—Chen's adoptive nephew—and other patriots detained Chiang Kai-shek for the sake of national unity, stripping him of his "leader" status, forcing him to reorganize the government, accommodate other parties, release Chen and other patriotic leaders/political prisoners, open up democracy, and convene a national salvation conference. This act, shaped by Chen's lifelong teachings of democracy and science, bought the CPC nine precious years to recover and grow. Upon his release, Chen stated, "My value lies not outside prison, but in the hearts of tens of millions of young people"—a reflection of how his ideals of democracy and science had influenced his nephew.

In 1942, even as he lay dying, Chen clung to his banners of democracy and science, criticizing Stalin's autocratic rule. From a Russian perspective, Chen Duxiu's life encapsulates the CPC's journey: founding the Party, leading it through trials, and ultimately paving the way for its survival—even as his nephew Zhang Xueliang's sacrifice forced Chiang to accept the CPC, enabling joint resistance against Japan. Chen dedicated 37 years to this cause. In 2019, adhering to principles of objectivity and factuality, the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC published "Commemorating the 140th Anniversary of Chen Duxiu's Birth," fully vindicating his reputation.
