Chen was sent to train with Rafael Arutyunyan in the 2018-19 season.[1] He was assigned to the 2019 Junior World Championships where he finished in 25th place after the short program and did not advance to the free skate.[2]
Chen debuted in the Junior Grand Prix circuit, and was assigned to the Courchevel[3] and Egna/Neumkart,[4] where he finished in 9th and 6th place, respectively. He was assigned to compete at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, where he finished in 6th place.[5]
With the 2020–21 figure skating season having to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, senior skaters were invited to a maximum of one Grand Prix event, based largely on geographic location.[6] Chen was invited to the 2020 Cup of China, where he finished in third place behind Jin Boyang and Yan Han.[7]
Chen was assigned to the 2021 Cup of China as his Grand Prix event of the season. After 2021 Cup of China was cancelled, he was reassigned to its replacement event, the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia, where he finished in 10th place.[8]
Chen, still being age-eligible for the junior grand prix circuit, was assigned to the Solidarity Cup 2022, where he finished in 2nd place, winning his first junior grand prix medal.[9]
