In the early morning of June 9, the Chinese capital market lost an important builder, Chen Dongzheng, former vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and former chairman of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, died in Beijing due to illness at the age of 74.

From taking over the position of vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission in 1997 to taking over the important task of chairman of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2014, this "veteran" who has worked in the securities industry for 17 years has laid a deep footnote for the innovative development of China's capital market with wisdom and responsibility.
The industry deeply commemorates Chen Dongzheng's historic contribution to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. An industry insider close to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange said: "Chen Dongzheng is the one who led the Shenzhen Stock Exchange out of the desperate situation." A senior media person who had contacted him several times highly praised his pioneering work: "He has made outstanding contributions to the opening of the SME Board and the GEM!"
