Club career

Bian won several caps for China National Team and China U-23 National Team and played for China in the 1998 Bangkok Asian Game. He started his career as a football player in Shanghai Pudong, then sparked interest from Shanghai Shenhua and finally made the switch in 1997. He made 159 appearances for Shanghai Shenhua and scored six times in a period that saw him win the 1998 Chinese FA Cup and 2003 league title. However, in 2013 the Chinese Football Association revoked the league title after it was discovered that the Shenhua General manager Lou Shifang had bribed officials to be biased for Shenhua in games that season.

In the 2006 league campaign he was loaned out to Shanghai United, where he played just 12 games before he declared his retirement from the game.
