The Japanese media reported Chen Wei's interview under the title "The Powerful Secret is 10 Hours of Sleep", chen Wei said: "People often pay great attention to training, but how to recover as soon as possible is the most important. If fatigue cannot be eliminated, high-intensity training cannot be carried out. I would guarantee 10 hours of sleep. Sleeping well during a game can also bring confidence. Chen Wei's focus on sleep is the same as that of China's Gu Ailing, who revealed in an interview after winning two gold medals at the Beijing Winter Olympics that he sleeps 10 hours a day.

Born in 1999, Chen Wei, who is due to celebrate his 23rd birthday next month, and whose parents are both from China, went to the United States in the 1980s to study and settle down, and Chen Wei is the youngest child in the family. Chen Wei, who is extremely good at jumping, completed an astonishing 6 four-way jumping moves in the men's singles free skating at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, although the lack of opportunity to receive the podium also announced the arrival of his own era.
