On November 12, 1999, the first Falun Gong case in China was tried in Haikou City, Hainan Province, and Chen Yuanchao was the chief justice. He sentenced four Falun Gong practitioners to jail terms ranging from 2 years to 12 years. He was praised by the supreme people's court and Luo Gan, the Communist Party's Chief in charge of legislation and political affairs. As a result, the First Criminal Court of Haikou City, Intermediate People's Court, received a group award-second class and Chen Yuanchao received an individual award-second class.
On March 18, 2002, Chen Yuanchao, age 52, was diagnosed with lung cancer.

The People's Supreme Court awarded Chen the honor of "National Model Judge." The Supreme Court of Hainan Province gave Chen the "Individual First Class Award." The Haikou City Communist Party Committee awarded Chen the honor of "Model Communist Party Member."
According to an official Chinese government media report: "Chen Yuanchao, a National Model Judge and the Chief Judge of the First Criminal Court of Haikou City, Intermediate People's Court, went through treatment for lung cancer and unfortunately died at 6:35 p.m. on September 2, 2003."
