On the night of June 3, 1989, while taking photographs on top of a building by the northwest side of the Great Hall of the People, Chen was hit in the head by a bullet and killed instantly. After his death, his classmates pooled together enough money to purchase a plot of land near Jinshan Cemetery at Hongqi Village in Xiangshan to bury his remains. A gravestone was also erected there.
