Biography
Sun Qian was born in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province, in December 1959, and traces his ancestral origin to Yitong, Jilin. He began his career at the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) in August 1983. From 1984 to 1988, Sun worked as a clerk in the Supervision and Detention Department of the SPP and later in the General Office (later renamed the Procurator-General's Office). He progressed from assistant-level clerk to division-level clerk during this period. In November 1988, he became legal secretary and adviser to Procurator-General Liu Fuzhi, concurrently serving as secretary to the SPP Party Leadership Group from 1990.[2]
Between 1991 and 1994, Sun held positions as deputy director and later Director of the Procurator-General's Office, while continuing to serve as secretary to the Procurator-General and the Party Leadership Group. In 1994, he was temporarily assigned to Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, where he served as vice mayor overseeing finance, trade, and political-legal affairs.[3] Returning to the Supreme People's Procuratorate in late 1995, Sun assumed leadership roles in the Criminal Prosecution Department. He became Vice Director of the department in December 1995 and, in 1999, was appointed President of the National Prosecutors College. In June 2003, he was named Deputy Prosecutor General and became a member of the SPP Party Leadership Group and the Procuratorial Committee, holding the rank of Second-Class Senior Prosecutor.[4]
From 2004 to 2007, Sun served in Jiangxi Province, first as Deputy Procurator General and Acting Procurator General, and later as Procurator General and Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Jiangxi Provincial People's Procuratorate. He returned to the Supreme People's Procuratorate in December 2007, where he continued to serve as Deputy Prosecutor General and a member of the Procuratorial Committee until his retirement in September 2023.[5][6]
