I was born in a very devoted Catholic family in Northern China. Having received an education from primary through secondary, minor and major seminaries to priesthood under the Jesuits, I am now writing a brief account of the journey of my priestly vocation as an Oblate.

My journey to priesthood is a very difficult one. First, I lived through the Japanese occupation during my secondary school days. Then followed the civil war between the Nationalist and the Communists.

In January 1949, I had to escape through Shanghai and Hong Kong to the Philippines. On 8th of June 1952, I was ordained with ten classmates by Bishop Vitus Change, S.V.D. In 1958, I was assigned in Jolo, Sulu, Southern Philippines to work with American Oblates for the Chinese - particularly the Chinese youth.

I “fell in love” with the Oblates. I liked their missionary spirit and asked to join them. I was sent to Texas, U.S.A. in 1963 to make my novitiate.

In 1974, I joined the mission in Hong Kong and a year later I became the Principal and Supervisor of the Oblate Fathers Primary School. In 1982, I retired from the post of Principal, but retained the post of Supervisor until today. In 1991, I was appointed Superior of the Oblate Delegation in Hong Kong.

I must say God has been very good to me. I have many reasons to be grateful to God our Lord, our Blessed “Mama Mary”, all my relatives and friends who through their prayers have accompanied me during this long journey of my priestly life.
