Biography

[edit]

Tian was born in Zhaoyuan County, Heilongjiang, on 8 December 1940, while his ancestral home in Penglai, Yantai, Shandong.[1] He is the elder of three children. His second younger brother Tian Fengchun (田凤春) once served as party secretary of Zhaoyuan County and vice mayor of Daqing.[1] His third younger brother worked in the Zhaoyuan County Traffic Police Brigade and now lives in downtown Zhaoyuan County after retirement.[1] Tian attended Zhaoyuan County No. 1 High School [zh].[1] In 1961, Tian was accepted to the PLA Second Artillery Technical College (now PLA Rocket Force University of Engineering), but dropped out of college for health reasons during his sophomore year.[1]

After returning hometown, Tian was arranged to work as a substitute teacher at Yishun Township Central Primary School (义顺乡中心小学).[1] Two years later, he was transferred to the neighboring Chengjiao People's Commune (城郊人民公社) and appointed party secretary.[1] In December 1977, he rose to become deputy magistrate, deputy party secretary of Zhaoyuan County, and a member of the CCP Zhaoyuan County Committee, the county's top authority.[1]

His positions include: Heilongjiang governor (February 1995), Minister of Land and Resources (March 2000).[2]

Downfall

[edit]

Tian was removed from this position in October 2003.[2] In September 2004, the 4th plenary session of the 16th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party decided to deprive Tian of the membership of Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and expel him from the party. On December 27, 2005, charged with bribery, Tian was given a life sentence by the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court, with life-time political privileges being removed and all his personal belongings confiscated.[citation needed]

Tian was an alternate member of the 14th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, and a full member of the 15th and 16th Central Committees.[2]
