Zhang Yi was born in Bei'an County, Heilongjiang province. When he was 19, he began working at the forestry farm in Huma County, performing manual labour. He joined the Communist Party of China in February 1972. In 1984 he became the mayor and then Communist Party Chief of Tahe County, Heilongjiang province. In October 1990 he was promoted to party chief of Da Hinggan Ling Prefecture. In May 2001 he became a deputy party chief of Heilongjiang province.[1][2]

In November 2006 Zhang was transferred to Hebei province, where he remained a deputy party chief. In September 2007 he was transferred to the central government where he was a deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China.[1][2]

In July 2010 Zhang was appointed Communist Party Chief of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, replacing retiring Chen Jianguo as the top leader of the province-level region. In August he took the additional post as Chairman of Ningxia People's Congress.[1] He took charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, succeeding Jiang Jiemin, who had been arrested on corruption charges. He served in the post for some three years,[2] before leaving active politics in December 2016 upon reaching retirement age. He was then transferred to serve on the National People's Congress Internal and Judicial Affairs Committee.[3]
