Joseph Chen Zhonghua (Chinese: 陈中华; pinyin: Chén Zhōnghuá), also known by his courtesy name Dongliang is a Chinese martial arts practitioner, teacher, and author from Shandong, China. Chen studied under two experts of the eighteenth generation of Chen-style tai chi, Hong Junsheng and Feng Zhiqiang (冯志强, 1928–2012).[1] In 1985, Chen and his family emigrated to Canada, where he began to promote Hong's version of Chen-style tai chi to a western audience.[2] In 2005, Chen was designated by Hong family as the International Standard-Bearer of Hong's Practical Method, during a ceremony held in Jinan.[3] Since 2006, he has overseen a residential tai chi training program on Daqingshan in Shandong.[4]
