中国民运领袖陈子明妻子王之虹：“我们俩之间的感情，在朋友、在知识份子这个圈里都是公认的，这是一个和谐美满的婚姻，我对我丈夫，正像大家评价的，我一直很尊敬、很崇拜他。总的原则，因为我们既然走到一块了，肯定会并肩的来共同面对一切、经历一切，携手共同走下去，这也是结婚前我们的沟通和认可。”
陈子明的老朋友，现居美国洛杉矶的历史文献学者吴仁华，得知陈子明获奖的消息，感慨万千﹗他说，陈子明获得兰托斯终身成就奖，名副其实。他认为，陈子明对中国民主运动做出的贡献和牺牲，配得任何奖项。
旅美中国历史文献学者吴仁华：“（陈子明）经历过1976年的天安门事件、1979年的西单民主墙运动、包括1980年北京高校自由竞选运动，然后就是1989天安门事件。这么多年来，从1976年的天安门事件，到现在都将近40年了，他一直在民运的这条道路上，艰难的走下来，尤其是从天安门事件以后，中国国内的政治环境非常的险暗。”
1989天安门事件被镇压后，中共当局把陈子明视为幕后黑手，判他13年重刑。谈到陈子明，吴仁华印象最深刻的是1994年，那年陈子明第一次保外就医。
吴仁华：“当时是美国政府跟中国政府做了一种协议，让陈子明到美国以保外就医的名义，到美国可以获得自由，但是，陈子明先生当时拒绝了这种安排，他就是要坚守在中国大陆，不管世间环境多么风险。”
而就在那一年，陈子明发现罹患了癌症。
吴仁华：“他一路走来始终如一，当时在化疗还没有结束的时候，因为他不顾警告，发表了纪念天安门事件的公开的联署信，所以在化疗还没有做完，就被重新收监，这个人是一个有守有为的一个民运人士，他不管国内的环境有多险恶，不管自己个人面对多大的危难，他还是坚守着自己的良知跟底线。”
上个月12月27号，致力于推动全球民主化的美国非政府组织“美国国家民主基金会”，也颁发嘉奖令给陈子明，表彰他40年来对民主价值的坚持、和对中国民主和平转型作出的突出贡献。
陈子明，1952年1月生于上海。1980年毕业于北京化工学院。1984年毕业于中国科学院研究生院。着有《现代政治学导论》，《陈子明反思十年改革》，《四五运动：中国二十世纪的转折点——三十年后的回忆与思考》。主编《外国着名思想家译丛》、《现代化与政治发展》丛书、《青年理论家文稿》辑刊等。
近十几年来，陈子明曾经以“王思睿”、“喻希来”等十多个笔名，发表有关哲学、政治学、社会学等论文和译文上百篇。
