Chen Kehua, born in 1961 at Hualien Taiwan, graduated from School of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, and finished his post-doctoral research at Harvard University, U.S. Presently, Chen is a practicing medical doctor based in the General Veteran Hospital Taipei as the attending ophthalmologist. A virtuoso of poetry decorated with most of the major literary awards and prizes in Chinese literary communities, Chen has also been highly accomplished in other literary genres, having published profusely in fiction, prose, lyrics, and plays, as well as poetry. His corpus has been translated into many languages, including English, Japanese, German and more. Quite a number of his poems have been included in the official textbooks for Chinese literature in some Chinese communities around the world.
