Early life and education

After college in 1983, he was assigned to the China Construction Bank, working in the bank for more than 11 years.[1]
He was appointed deputy director of the Office of the China Development Bank and deputy director of the Policy Research Office in 1994, becoming governor of the Sichuan Branch in 2004 and dean and deputy director of the Personnel Bureau in 2006.[1] In September 2008, he rose to become vice governor of the China Development Bank, a post he kept until January 2016.[1]
