Biography

Wang was born in China in 1962, to a devout Catholic family.

Like many other priests, he experienced a long period of study, after which he was ordained a priest. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Qinzhou left the court in July 2003 after the death of the bishop Casimir Wang Mi-lu. The Holy See assigned priest John Wang Ruowang as Bishop. He accepted the episcopacy with the papal mandate on August 19, 2011.
