Jin was born in Beijing in December 1953. He graduated from Beijing Union University in July 1988, majoring in business administration.[1]

During the Cultural Revolution, Jin worked as a worker in Beijing Housing Administration Bureau.[1] During the Down to the Countryside Movement, Jin worked as a sent-down youth in Huairou County.[1]

Jin worked in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China as an officer between January 1993 to August 2006.[1]

In August 2006, Jin was promoted to the provincial party standing committee of Shanxi province, and the Secretary of the Shanxi Commission for Discipline Inspection; he was appointed the Deputy Party Secretary of Shanxi in September 2010.[1]

On January 22, 2014, Jin was appointed as the Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Shanxi People' s Congress.[1][2]

On February 27, 2014, Jin was being investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China for "serious violations of laws and regulations".[3] Chinese media reported that Jin's mistress worked in the local real estate industry.[4][5] The party investigation concluded that Jin "abused his power for the illicit gain of others, solicited and accepted bribes in the form of cash and gifts and committed adultery." Jin was expelled from the Communist Party of China on December 21, 2014.[6]

The prosecution alleged that Jin took over 123.7 million yuan in bribes (~$18 million) in exchange for his assistance in the restructuring of coal companies and in dishing out favours for associates during party disciplinary work. On October 14, 2016, Jin was convicted on charges of bribery and sentenced for life in prison.[7]
