Proof. Clearly $f$ is a homomorphism with kernel $I_1\cap I_2\cap \cdots \cap I_n$ . It remains to show the surjectivity.
We have:
Moreover,
Continuing, we obtain that $R = I_1 + \bigcap_{j\ne 1}I_j$ . We show similarly that: \begin{equation*} R = I_2 + \bigcap_{j\ne 2}I_j = I_3 +\bigcap_{j\ne 3}I_j = \cdots = I_n + \bigcap_{j\ne n} I_j.\end{equation*}Given elements $a_1, a_2, ..., a_n$ , we can find $x_j\in I_j$ and $y_j\in \bigcap_{j\ne k} I_k$ such that $a_j = x_j + y_j$ .
Take $a:=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = a_j\pmod{I_j}$ .
Hence \begin{equation*} f(a) = (a_1 +I_1, a_2+I_2, ..., a_n+I_n),\end{equation*}and we conclude that $f$ is surjective as required. 
Notes 1.The relation $R = I_j +R^2$ is satisfied when $R$ is ring with unity. In that case $R^2 = R$ .
2. The Chinese Remainder Theorem case for integers is obtained from the above result. For this, take $R = \mathbb{Z}$ and $I_j = (p_j) = p_j\mathbb{Z}$ . The fact that two solutions of the set of congruences must satisfy $x = x_0 \pmod{p_1 ... p_n}$ is a consequence of:\begin{equation*} I_1\cap I_2 \cap \cdots \cap I_n = (p_1)\cap (p_2)\cap \cdots \cap (p_n) =(p_1p_2 ...
p_n)\mathbb{Z}.\end{equation*}
