A native of Beijing, Yu graduated from Beijing Medical College (now Peking University Health Science Center). He joined the Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party in December 1986, and joined the Chinese Communist Party in June 1992. He worked in the Daxing District Government for a long time before being transferred to the Beijing Municipal People's Government.

On April 16, 2022, Yu was placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and laws" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's internal disciplinary body, and the National Supervisory Commission, the highest anti-corruption agency of China.[1]

On July 18, 2022, Yu was expelled from the CCP and removed from public office.[2] On July 29, he was detained by the Supreme People's Procuratorate.[3] [4] On October 30, he was indicted on suspicion of accepting bribes.[5]

On March 30, 2023, Yu Luming pleaded guilty to accepting 10.5 million yuan ($1.5 million) in bribes.[6] Yu was bribed to give health project contracts and illegally secure land between 2001 and 2019 for relevant organizations and individuals.[6] Yu was tried in Zhangjiakou.[7] On September 26, he was sentenced to 11 years in prison and fined one million yuan ($136,000) for the crime of accepting bribes by the Intermediate People's Court of Zhangjiakou.[8]
