Finally here are all the necessary information to modify your Noaa95 HRPT
card to receive c-HRPT transmissions from FengYun satellite.
Unfortunately its signal is very weak so you need a good dish antenna
and preamplifier or downconverter.
Not many components must be changed. Unlikely you can't use the same card
to receive both HRPT and c-HRPT. You need 2 different cards.
Here is a complete component list CompList

As shown below, you need to change the RED capacitors C9, C65, C66, C67.

Then change the RED capacitor C62 and remove C17.

Finally, replace R29, change C54 value, mount C70 between HD-6409
pin 13 and the ground.
Substitute the pink coil with the home-maden.
