Biography

[edit]

Yan Chaojun was born in Qionghai, Hainan, in November 1963.[3] He joined the workforce in 1981 and began his career after completing studies in traditional Chinese medicine at Guangdong Hainan Health School. After serving as a medical practitioner at the Yantang Commune Health Clinic, he pursued further education in public health administration at Guangdong Medical College.[1]

Yan entered the Hainan Provincial Health Department in 1988, where he worked in a series of administrative roles, advancing from section member to director of the Planning and Finance Department. During this period, he completed a correspondence program in economic management at the Central Party School, earning a postgraduate degree.[4]

From 2003 onward, Yan held increasingly senior government roles. He served as deputy director of the Hainan Provincial Health Department and later moved to Danzhou, becoming deputy mayor, standing committee member of the municipal party committee, and eventually mayor. In 2013 he was appointed Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Changjiang County, and in 2014 he returned to Danzhou as the city's party secretary.[5][6]

In 2016 Yan became party secretary of Sanya, later joining the Hainan Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. In 2018 he was transferred to Guizhou as a member of the provincial standing committee and head of the United Front Work Department, while also serving as deputy secretary of the provincial CPPCC Party Group.[7][8] He later held positions in Guangxi, including member of the Party Group of the Guangxi CPPCC and, from 2021, vice chairman of the Guangxi CPPCC. He also served as a member of the Party Group of the Hainan Provincial CPPCC. Yan Chaojun died of illness in Haikou on 10 October 2023 at the age of 59.[9]
