Long ago, the busy striving for thoroughness in business and the hectic pace of life led Chen to turn to Confucian principles as an extremely human and practical set of cultural beliefs. He feels sorry that he cannot get other modern people to accept them as well.
陳國民對此不能釋懷。早年忙於生意務實的商場要求及生活歷練，使他覺得儒家思想用之於生活，是極合乎人性、極實用的文化思想，不能讓現代人接受實在太遺憾了。
