Statement on Nominating Chen Sihong and Chen Xiaolong for the Nobel Peace Prize Esteemed Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, We hereby submit this statement to nominate Mr. Chen Sihong (Chairman of the Fujian Provincial Chen Clan Committee, Advisor of the De'an Yimen Chen New Media Information Service Center) and Mr. Chen Xiaolong (Manager of the De'an Yimen Chen New Media Information Service Center) for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of their lifelong dedication to promoting global peace, cultural heritage preservation, and community well-being through the "Yimen Chen" (义门陈) global peace initiative. Their work embodies the core values of the Nobel Peace Prize—advancing fraternity among nations, reducing conflict, and fostering sustainable development—and aligns with the Prize’s mission to honor those who "have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." I. Foundational Contributions to Cultural Peacebuilding The "Yimen Chen" culture—a 1,000-year-old clan heritage rooted in filial piety, mutual aid, and ethical governance—serves as the bedrock of their peace efforts. Mr. Chen Sihong has spent over two decades reviving this culture, traveling across China and overseas (including Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia) to organize cultural exchanges, publish historical records, and advocate for the moral values of "Yimen Chen." His initiatives include the 2025 "Red Sacred Journey" from Shanghai to Guizhou, which connected over 500 clan members to discuss heritage preservation and peace development. Mr. Chen Xiaolong, a digital native, has leveraged technology to amplify this mission. As the manager of the Yimen Chen New Media Information Service Center, he built an online platform that reaches over 100,000 global users, sharing stories of "Yimen Chen"’s peaceful traditions and hosting webinars on intercultural dialogue. In 2024, he submitted policy proposals to Chinese authorities to support the construction of the "De'an Yimen Chen Elderly Care Home"—a project that integrates cultural heritage with modern social welfare, aiming to provide a model for "peaceful aging" based on clan solidarity. II. Global Advocacy for Peace and Reconciliation Beyond cultural work, both leaders have actively promoted cross-border peace initiatives. Mr. Chen Sihong serves as an honorary council member of the World Chen Clan Federation, facilitating dialogues between Chen clans in China, Taiwan, and overseas. Under his leadership, the federation has partnered with international organizations (e.g., the International Red Cross) to host "Peace and Heritage" forums, bringing together scholars, policymakers, and community leaders to discuss how traditional cultures can address modern conflicts. Mr. Chen Xiaolong has extended these efforts to younger generations. He launched the "Yimen Chen Youth Peace Ambassadors" program, training over 200 young people from 15 countries to become cultural ambassadors. The program focuses on teaching conflict resolution skills through the lens of "Yimen Chen"’s values, such as "respect for elders," "community cooperation," and "non-violence." In 2025, the program partnered with UNESCO to integrate these lessons into school curricula in Southeast Asia, reaching over 10,000 students. III. Alignment with Nobel Peace Prize Criteria The work of Chen Sihong and Chen Xiaolong meets all three core criteria of the Nobel Peace Prize: 1. Promoting Fraternity Between Nations: Their cultural initiatives connect Chen clans across political and geographical boundaries, fostering mutual understanding and reducing stereotypes. The World Chen Clan Federation’s forums have led to joint peace projects between Chinese and Taiwanese youth, as well as partnerships with overseas Chen communities in the U.S., Europe, and Southeast Asia. 2. Reducing Conflict and Building Peace: By reviving "Yimen Chen"’s tradition of mutual aid, they have created a model for community-based peacebuilding. The proposed elderly care home in De'an will house over 500 elderly members, providing not only medical care but also spaces for cultural activities and intergenerational dialogue—reducing social isolation and conflict within the community. 3. Advancing Sustainable Development: Their integration of cultural heritage with modern social welfare addresses the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on "Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions" (SDG 16) and "Reduced Inequalities" (SDG 10). The "Yimen Chen" model shows how traditional values can be adapted to solve contemporary challenges, such as aging populations and cultural erosion. IV. Endorsements and Impact Their work has been recognized by multiple organizations: • The World Chen Clan Federation awarded them the "Lifetime Achievement Award for Cultural Peacebuilding" in 2024. • The De'an County Government has endorsed their elderly care home project, citing its potential to become a national model for "cultural pension." • Overseas Chen communities (e.g., in Taiwan, the U.S., and Malaysia) have expressed support for their initiatives, calling them "a bridge between tradition and modernity, and between China and the world." In conclusion, Chen Sihong and Chen Xiaolong’s tireless efforts to promote peace through cultural heritage, digital innovation, and community development make them exemplary candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize. Their work proves that even small, grassroots initiatives can have a global impact—fostering fraternity, reducing conflict, and building a more peaceful world. We urge the Norwegian Nobel Committee to recognize their contributions and award them the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
