Lin Duo was born in March 1956 in Heze, Shandong province. In November 1974, he enlisted in the People's Liberation Army Navy and served as a submariner for five years.[1][2] He joined the Communist Party of China in October 1975. After leaving the military in 1979, he worked in the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.[1][2]
In 1982, Lin began working for the road administration office of Huairou County in suburban Beijing, embarking on a career in the Beijing government lasting nearly three decades. He rose through the ranks first in Huairou County, then in the Beijing Highway Bureau, and the Beijing Urban Management Committee. He was appointed Governor of Beijing's Xicheng District in 2003, and Communist Party Secretary of Xicheng in 2006.[1][2] During his tenure in Beijing he studied at the Beijing Municipality Communist Party School on a part-time basis, earning a bachelor's degree in 1993 and a master's in 1997.[1][2]
In July 2010, following the merger of Xicheng District with Xuanwu District, Lin Duo was transferred to Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China, to serve as its Deputy Party Chief and Mayor. In January 2012 he was promoted to party chief of Harbin, and entered the Heilongjiang provincial party standing committee three months later.[1][2]
In August 2014, Lin was transferred to Liaoning Province, serving as Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the provincial anti-corruption body, and a member of the provincial party standing committee.[1][3]
On 1 April 2016, Lin Duo was appointed Acting Governor of Gansu Province in northwest China, succeeding Liu Weiping, who had resigned.[3]
