Biography

Jin was born in Beiping (Beijing) on May 3, 1942. His father Aisin-Gioro Puren was the youngest brother of Aisin-Gioro Puyi, who at the time reigned as "emperor" of the Japanese puppet state Manchukuo and who had previously been the last emperor of the Qing dynasty.

Jin was educated at China University of Geosciences. After graduation he worked at the Qinghai Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources from 1968 to 1985, before returning to Beijing to work at the Chongwen district Bureau of Environmental Protection.

In 1999 he was elected to the Beijing People's Political Consultative Conference. He retired as vice-director of the Chongwen district government in Beijing in 2008.[1]
