Wang Xuejun is a native of Nanpi County, Hebei province. He joined the Chinese Communist Party in July 1975. He is a graduate of Hebei Institute of Technology (now Hebei University of Technology).[1] He began work as a regular factory worker. He climbed the ranks in Cangzhou, Hebei, eventually rising to become the city's vice mayor. He then served as party chief of Langfang. He worked in his native Hebei until 2004. From 2004 to 2013 he was transferred to Beijing to head the State Bureau for Letters and Calls, the agency in charge of processing petitions from ordinary citizens.

In March 2013 Wang was transferred to Anhui province to become its acting governor, replacing Li Bin, who was appointed chairperson of the newly formed National Health and Family Planning Commission.[1] Wang Xuejun has been a full member of the 17th and the 18th Central Committees of the Chinese Communist Party.[1]

On June 1, 2015, Wang replaced Zhang Baoshun, who had reached retirement age, as the Party Secretary of Anhui province. Wang's term as party chief was brief. He was relieved of the post just over one year later, on August 29, 2016. He left frontline politics and joined the National People's Congress Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee as a deputy chair.[2]
