Gu was born in [Jinzhou](/source/Jinzhou), [Liaoning](/source/Liaoning), in July 1957. During the [Down to the Countryside Movement](/source/Down_to_the_Countryside_Movement), he was a [Sent-down youth](/source/Sent-down_youth) and performed manual labour in Changtan Township, [Liaozhong County](/source/Liaozhong_County).

After the [Cultural Revolution](/source/Cultural_Revolution), he was accepted to Northeast Engineering Institute (now [Northeastern University](/source/Northeastern_University_(China))) in 1978 and graduated in 1982, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering.

He joined the workforce in August 1975, and joined the [Chinese Communist Party](/source/Chinese_Communist_Party) in 1984. Beginning in 1982, he served in several posts in Shenyang Chemical Equipment Plant, including secretary, technician, deputy director, and section chief. Then he served in various posts in [Liaoning provincial government](/source/Politics_of_Liaoning) before serving as assistant mayor of [Shenyang](/source/Shenyang) in 2002.

In 2005, he was transferred to [Anshan](/source/Anshan) and appointed the Vice-Mayor and Deputy [Communist Party Secretary](/source/Communist_Party_Secretary). Five years later he was promoted to the Communist Party Secretary position. He was promoted to [Vice-Governor of Jilin](/source/Politics_of_Jilin) in 2013.

## Downfall

On August 1, 2015, the Communist Party's anti-corruption agency announced that Gu Chunli was placed under investigation.[1] Six days later, Gu was removed from his posts by the [Organization Department of the Chinese Communist Party](/source/Organization_Department_of_the_Chinese_Communist_Party).[2] Gu was the first provincial-level official from [Jilin](/source/Jilin) to be sacked since the anti-corruption campaign began in 2012.[3] He was expelled from the Communist Party on October 30, 2015. The investigation concluded that Gu abused his power to advance the interests of others, used public funds for personal expenses, frequented private clubs, accepted bribes, accepted banquet invitations paid for by public funds, "used vehicles from state-owned enterprises", and interfered and obstructed the investigation.[4]

On March 31, 2017, Gu was sentenced on 12 years in prison for taking bribes worth 43.65 million yuan (~$6.34 million) by the Intermediate People's Court in Harbin.
