Chinese Jesuit

An eighth-generation Chinese Catholic, Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian was ordained a Jesuit priest in 1945.
After studying several years in Europe, Father Jin returned to Shanghai in 1950, where he served as a faithful collaborator of Bishop Kung. Sensing what was about to befall the Church, Kung scrambled to prepare as many young men for the priesthood as possible.
He trusted Father Jin deeply enough to make him rector of the local seminary, giving him the responsibility of forming Shanghai's clergy.
