Chen Liangyu, born in 1955, once served as the Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee. His family includes his brother, Chen Liangjun. Detailed information about Chen Liangyu's educational background and early career has not been publicly disclosed.

In the summer of 2006, cases involving Shanghai's social security fund began to garner attention. After nearly two years of investigation and trial, the case reached a judicial climax on March 25, 2008, with the court proceedings focusing on Chen Liangyu. The prosecution accused Chen Liangyu of committing three crimes, including bribery, abuse of power, and dereliction of duty. Among these, he was charged with four counts of bribery, with a total amount equivalent to approximately 2.39 million RMB.

Chen Liangyu was accused of abusing his authority to enable his brother, Chen Liangjun, to illegally profit from land transactions. Reports indicate that Chen Liangjun was involved in illegal land reselling and was arrested after the case came to light; however, the case had not yet proceeded to trial. During the hearing, his defense lawyers argued that Chen Liangyu primarily played a leadership role in his brother's land reselling activities and should not be considered to have been derelict in his duties. There was contestation between the prosecution and defense on this point, and Chen Liangyu stated during the court session, “Stop arguing; I admit I bear responsibility for this issue.”

Currently, more details about Chen Liangyu's case and any subsequent proceedings have not been disclosed. The corruption involved in his case has attracted public attention and also reflects the complexities involved in anti-corruption efforts in related sectors.
