Bishop John Baptist Wang Jin was born in a traditional Catholic family in 1924. After the minor seminary, he entered the major seminary of Taiyuan diocese from 1935. He switched to seminaries in Hankou and Macau successively due to unstable political situation. He returned to the mainland in 1950 and was ordained a priest in Taiyuan the next year. He had served in parishes and the Taiyuan seminary until he was imprisoned because of his faith in 1965, a year before the Cultural Revolution began. He was released 20 years later. In 1986, he was transferred to neighboring Yuci diocese to do pastoral work. He was ordained the second ordinary bishop of Yuci in 1999 at the age of 75. He has got recognition from the Holy See.
