Yang was born in Jinzhai County, Anhui. He was graduated from Northeastern University and Renmin University of China and joined work in 1977. In 1983, he worked in Tongling Nonferrous Metals and became the manager from 1998 to 2003. He also served as director of SASAC of Anhui and director of Economic Committee of Anhui.

On May 24, 2016, Yang was placed under investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the party's internal disciplinary body, for "serious violations of regulations". Yang was the third provincial-ministerial level official in Anhui implicated in the anti-corruption campaign under Xi Jinping, and the first official of his seniority investigated during the second-round of inspections by the CCDI.[1][2] He is expelled from the Communist Party on July 26, 2016.[3] On May 3, 2017, Yang was sentenced to life in prison for bribery, plundering the public fund and abuse of power.[4]
