Biography

Wang was born in the town of Шаблон:Ill, Dalad Banner, on October 4, 1910. He was ordained a priest on July 28, 1935.[2]

On August 19, 1951, the Holy See appointed him as Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Suiyuan[3] to replace Louis Morel, who resigned. He was consecrated on October 7.

Wang was arrested in 1955, charged with ‘contact with foreigners’ and detained for two years; he was arrested again in 1968 and detained for six months, after which he left the church for ten years.[2] During this time, there was pressure for Wang (and other clergy) to get married, which was against their clerical rules; there is no definite evidence that Wang ever married.[2] He returned to his work as Archbishop in 1980.[4] Archbishop Wang went on to join the Chinese Catholic Bishops’ College.[3]

Wang died on February 10, 1997, aged 86.
