When describing his three strengths, Chen Chengyu used three words: diligent, low-key, and pragmatic.
Many people think that scientific research is repetitive and boring, and not all of them can endure loneliness and persevere. Chen Chengyu does not deny it, but for him, scientific research is also exploring new areas. "I enjoy discovering the road that no one has traveled before." He told reporters that the life of occasionally coming out of the laboratory in the early morning and rushing with the moonlight is also very fulfilling in retrospect.

Talking about the most exciting things he had ever done, Chen Chengyu mentioned that he had shaved his head. "At that time, I was more spontaneous, and I was still a hot-blooded young man who liked to listen to rock music and play poko at music festivals, and he didn't take the image so seriously." While talking, while immersed in it, he said that even if he is so busy at work now, he will go to Zhuhai Lefang to listen to live decompression when he has time.
