Prior to becoming governor, Lan also served as Chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region’s People’s Political Consultative Conference from 2018 to 2020.

According to “长安街知事” a new media platform of Beijing Daily, Lan’s last public appearance was on the evening of May 11th. He conducted research trips to the cities of Hechi, Baise, and Chongzuo from May 10th to 11th.

Citing sources, Hong Kong’s *Sing Tao Daily* reported that Lan was taken away in Nanning on May 12th, and that his relatives, including his brother, are also reportedly under investigation. *Sing Tao Daily* also noted that Lan’s long tenure in Guangxi politics suggests his downfall could implicate a significant number of other officials.
