They won a silver medal at the 2014 Cup of China and a bronze medal at the 2014 NHK Trophy, qualifying them for their first senior Grand Prix Final in Barcelona, Spain.

On April 14, 2016, International Figure Skating magazine broke the news of Jin's new partnership with Peng Cheng. The Chinese Skating Association decided to switch partners between the two pairs of Peng/Zhang and Yu/Jin.[6][7]
Age controversy
In February 2011, a group of Chinese skaters' ages became the subject of controversy. Although his ISU bio lists Jin as born on May 16, 1994, a Chinese website suggested he was born on that day in 1989, in which case he was too old to compete in Junior Grand Prix events during the 2010–11 season.[2] His partner's age also came under scrutiny. Her ISU bio states that she was born on January 2, 1996, but the Chinese website suggested she was born on that day in 1998, in which case she was too young to compete in junior events.[2]
