Among other positions, he was once the Mayor of Shenzhen, Executive Vice-Governor of Hunan province, and Governor of Shanxi province. He resigned as Shanxi governor following the a slave labour scandal in the province in 2007. He was then transferred to serve as Party Branch Secretary and Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Culture. In October 2008 he was removed from the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and put on probation for two years, a disciplinary measure that is considered to be just short of expulsion from the party. He eventually re-joined government as a deputy director of the Office of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project of the State Council. He retired in 2015. ==Political career== A native of Feng County in Jiangsu, Yu holds a doctorate in philosophy. He joined the CPC in June 1976. Working mainly in Guangdong province, he eventually served as the party secretaries of various districts in the city of Guangzhou. From 1994 to 2000 he was a member of the provincial Party Standing Committee and concurrently head of the provincial party organization's propaganda department, holding a sub-provincial level office. Yu came to prominence as Mayor of Shenzhen, China's first and arguably most successful Special Economic Zone (SEZ), from 2000 to 2003. In November 2002, an 18,000-character essay "Shenzhen, who has abandoned you?" published online by a netizen 'Crazy for her' (''wǒwèiyīkuáng'') attracted much attention for its comprehensive and data-rich examination of various public policies pertaining to the SEZ and the implications of extending them to other parts of the country. Mayor Yu met with the author of the essay Guo Zhongxiao (呙中校) on January 19, 2003, to discuss his essay and exchange views on Shenzhen and its development. His act was hailed in various media as a great step forward in boosting communication and dialog between high officials and Internet users. Yu was promoted to Vice Governor of Hunan province and deputy secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee in June 2003. In 2005 he was promoted again to become Governor of the coal-rich province of Shanxi. During his time in Shanxi, he undertook several key initiatives including the closure of several thousand illegal coal mines and the improvement of the environment. Yu was also known for attracting investment into the province, which was credited with fostering the province's explosive economic growth. Yu came onto the international spotlight following the 2007 Chinese slave scandal involving children and migrant workers who were forced to work in kilns located in Shanxi province. He publicly apologized for the mishap and offered a self-criticism. Yu resigned as Governor in September 2007, and was succeeded by Meng Xuenong. Meng would fall from grace himself only a few months into his term due to the fallout from the 2008 Shanxi mudslide. As part of a wider Party reshuffle in preparation for the formation of the new Cabinet in 2008, Yu resigned his party and government positions in Shanxi in September and October 2007 respectively. He was then appointed the secretary of the leading party group and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Culture. Yu was chosen as a member of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 2007, 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yu Youjun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
