Biography

Deng was born on November 9, 1905. He was ordained a priest on February 9, 1936, and appointed Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jiading on June 9, 1949. The bishop's ceremony followed on September 21, 1949, with Archbishop of Chongqing Louis Gabriel Xavier Jantzen as Chief Consulator, shortly before the Communists state was established on October 1 of that same year. He was one of the six Chinese bishops appointed by the Holy See in the same year. The other five are Matthias Duan Yinming, Ignatius Pi Shushi, Simon Lei Zhenxia, Ignatius Kung Pin-Mei and Melchior Zhang Kexing. He died on August 10, 1990.[2]
