His brother, Chen Shan (陈善), was a crown prince who joined the Ming army.
He posthumously presented his fourth brother, Chen Youren (陈友仁), as King of Kangshan (康山王), and ordered the relevant officials to set up a temple to offer sacrifices, and his fifth brother, Chen Yougui (陈友贵), was in charge of sacrifices.
[citation needed] According to Korean and Chinese historical sources, in 1372, he migrated to Goryeo and had offspring, starting the Yangsan Jin clan.
On 6 June, King Gongmin (恭愍王) gave Chen Li nine bamboo cloths (苎布).
Chen Li passed away due to illness but is survived by his descendants in Korea and the Yangsan Jin Clan.
