Bishop Huo was born in 1926. After practicing Taoism, he joined the theological seminary and on 14 May 1954 was ordained a priest. During the Cultural Revolution, he was detained and sent to a labour camp, where he spent time from 1966 until his release in 1980. He was consecrated as a diocesan bishop of Fenyang on 4 September 1991 and was recognised both by the Holy See and by the Chinese government.[1] [2]
